What convinced you you were actually psychotic?

Here's my story: I thought I was Persephone (I had other delusions, but the current one at the time was Persephone) also known as Kore. I was sure it was really happening, it was right after the spring equinox,and I thought I was "waking up" from being in the underworld through winter. I called 911 three times becuae I was freaking out from hallucinations and delusions. I wanted them to stop. The ER kept sending me home. My meds weren't working(Abilify) I was already diagnosed as bipolar,although that's been changed now to schizoaffective. Anyway, my sister was driving me to another hospital, two hours away. I stopped at a bathroom,and on the wall it said "KOR" with an arrow pointing downward. I thought it was meant for me personally. After getting on new meds, the hallucinations/delusions for the most part stopped, although I still believed something was going on. On the way back, we stopped at the same place. I was scared, but I decided to check the bathroom to see if the word was still there. It was, but it said KORN, with a funny N(like the band name,maybe)

I realized my mind had played tricks on me. That I really HAD been delusional. This was actually a relief for me, because now the end of the world/beginning of a new one, wasn't resting on my shoulders. I wasn't someone important, just a regular person with a sickness that was manageable.
