This is fascinating to me. My mixed episode with psychotic features entailed me being convinced evil spirits were haunting our apartment and were responsible for all the bad things happening to us, that I ran down the street to a cemetery and began begging the spirit of some random person's grave to protect us and begging for the evil spirits to leave us alone. I was hysterical, sobbing, and gone for hours. When I lived alone there was also another period of time I became convinced there was someone I couldn't see present in my apartment, and could swear that I felt their "energy field" and that they were trying to communicate with me. The last time, I was convinced the spirit I had asked for help in the graveyard during the first episode was stuck in our apartment and needed me to release her, so I totally did some kind of weird ritual that I felt made complete sense, releasing her to the afterlife. Only the first was SSRI-induced, the others were just on my own. Strange things the mind comes up with.
