I have explained my symptoms to several friends over the years, and sometimes they ask for more details while other times they don't ask. Psychosis is a really strange illness, because it is based on reality but deviates all around the place. I am pretty sure I am not really receiving a Nobel Prize, and it seems clear that 9/11 really happened, and on and on. But there are days, most days actually, when the delusions are in charge, and I run around in a dream world.

There is always a risk that some unscrupulous person could use your MI experiences against you, if you share in a forum like this one, but I think that's pretty rare.
