Hey everyone!

I’m new here, so I guess I’ll start by explaining my story. Around the beginning of May I had a ‘vision’ of storms hitting the United States, so it was not surprise that come later in the month when the floods and tornados hit Texas and Oklahoma, I became enveloped in a manic state of grandiosity. I began drinking heavily, which added to my god-like complex, and started to believe I had influence over the weather. My thinking became more erratic; I became more crazed, and wound up being committed shortly after.

I was given Haldol, and then switched to Lithium. Currently, I am no medications.

This was my first episode (I’m in my mid-twenties); the entire situation has left me questioning myself, life, and spirituality.

I’ve always been a spiritual person, however I now find myself bouncing back and fourth between the ideas of divinity and madness; questioning whether my experience was coincidental and delusional or one that holds a deeper, more meaningful connection to life.

Can anyone else relate to this?
