The most severe episode I have ever experienced, I had no idea what was happening to me; it was gut wrenching once I realized how delusional I had been, Since then I try to reason everything, bounce things off my therapist, husband, folks on here, do what ever I can to make sure I recognize an episode and do not lose touch again. It takes a lot of practice and self awareness. That's not to say it won't ever happen again or that I always agree with their rational thinking. But I try very hard to avoid it.
