Hi Miss Laura

I get paranoid when psychotic, and that usually affects me when depressed rather than manic. The last couple of times I was convinced people were trying to get into my flat all the time, and were actually getting in and moving things around.

Last time I didn't deal with it very well, and ended up in hospital. However even when having those experiences, which feel as if they are real, part of me knows it's not logical. It seems that you also know those thoughts are not based in reality. Trouble is it feels so real. Next time I am just going to try to root myself in reality, though difficult.

I would also like to know if anyone has found a way to cope better with this type of experience.
