Mine was last November and it was psychotic. I had hallucinations. I thought all kinds of bizzare stuff and it changed almost every minute. I freaked out over religious stuff mostly. I remember thinking I was an angel and I could fly. I remember thinking my husband was trying to convince me that one of my children was a ghost and wasn't real. I thought my husband was evil and wanted to keep me from my kids. I busted through a wall to get to my son. I threw all kinds of objects at my husband including a table. I was completely out of my mind. I really cannot explain any of it. I love my husband dearly and he is a wonderful man and father. He took the brunt of my wrath and did his very best to protect our small children while trying to call 911 to get me help. I've never been violent with anyone before. It was literally like I was possessed. I got tased by the police several times before they were able to detain me and take me to the hospital. It was the worst night of my life and it felt like being partially lucid while in a nightmare. I could have been killed or hurt someone physically. I caused all kinds of emotional trauma for myself and my family. It still hurts every day.
The doctors don't know why it happened to me. They have now diagnosed me with brief reactive psychosis. I have been stable for almost 7 months and they are talking about weaning me off meds. I am scared to death of a relapse.
