AB2371, I believe it's true about fear. I was afraid of something last week and my mind went from 0 to 100 in about 3 seconds (seriously, it went that fast)...along about 40 my thoughts entered from "possibly real" into the realm of delusional. At the time, however, I was fairly sure I was not perceiving delusionally. I was fairly sure my perception was real. I was a mess.

It took a med increase, some charting, and some time with my therapist for me to understand thatI had been experiencing a delusion that escalating from a pin dropping to a nuclear explosion because my fear went haywire.

(btw, I'm sorry this post is underlined...I can't get the underlining to go away.)
