"The ordinary world may seem dull and uninteresting compared with the drama of being mad. The "recovering" psychotic client may experience grief about losing his delusions and hallucinations. "
I have to admit, that is pretty much right. I tried to joke about this to my husband by saying recently: "You sane people are boring. What do you do all day? Nobody to talk to, nothing interesting to look at."
Seems that the delusions and hallucinations are so normal to some of us now, that losing them is what becomes awkward.
Interesting read, thanks for sharing this.
