Have you ever had a total blackout while psychotic?

Yes, on more than a few occasions. Sometimes they were fragmentary types, other times complete. When well (or well enough), I have an extremely good recollection of moments in my life. When psychotic, it has varied. For example, I had 10 psych hospitalizations, but really only five of them can I remember. The ones when I wasn't so psychotic! Perhaps only little moments of any of the rest. I believe emergency injections in the isolation rooms played a small part, but not just that.


Are you close with your siblings? If you have/had any?
