What happened during your first psychotic break?

Mine happened approximately two years ago. It lasted a week before I ended up inpatient.

I believed I was walking around in a dream. I thought that I needed to conjure up positive energy while I was dreaming so that when I woke up it would be released out into the world and I'd save the world pretty much. I was seeing things spelled backwards, seeing people walking in reverse (like they were being rewound). I was making collage after collage to create the positive energy and my walls were covered in collages. Some of the people in the collages talked to me and I talked back. Some of the faces in the collages would contort and their eyes freaked me out so one night I tore off some faces.

I was also having horrible racing thoughts and not sleeping because my thoughts kept me up all night and it was torturous. I thought there was a negative entity resting on my back. I could physically feel it.

I have no idea what was real or wasn't real when I think back to this time period.

Like there was one incident where my friend drove up during my smoke break at work and I was talking to her, but upon reflection I have no idea why she would have been there, so I wonder if she was really there or not.

Eventually I took some clonazepam and alprazolam because I wanted to "wake" myself up.

It was pretty horrible.
