Before I experienced florid psychosis I used to think sometimes that at least I wasn't that 'crazy'. Now I see how judgemental I was and feel ashamed I used to think like that. Now I have been 'crazy' I have a lot more compassion. Also, psychosis is really just another symptom and other illnesses/symptoms can be as severe. In any event all humans are crazy at times. Mental illness just has the stigma attached.
