I'm trying to figure myself out these days. Is like some people's feedback on what their psychosis experiences are?

I tend to hear music that doesn't exist, and see dark shapes out of the corners of my eyes.
I also saw black and grey cats running under the linen carts in the ER when I was there last fall waiting to be admitted to the psych unit.....

I don't know hun. I thought seeing rainbow colored symmetrical shapes bouncing around in the air with my entire visual range ripple with moving objects was normal. I still think it is.

When I was in psychosis, everywhere I looked, people were smiling at me. And not in a good way. They were smiling at me like the Joker from Batman. It was terrifying. Also, once I looked in the mirror and my face got all distorted and looked like I had aged 30 years. It was so awful. Psychosis scares the crap out of me.

I'm not entirely convinced what I experienced was psychosis, but a couple of things I saw were people walking forward, and then it was like they rewound and walked backwards and everywhere words were spelled backwards, and I had weird tactile stuff, like being able to put my hand through mirrors.

My "hallucinations" are less severe. The only way I know they're not real is because they only happen when I am in a mixed state. I just hear my name called repeatedly, in different voices, including my father's (he's been dead for 17 years). I also see people out of the corner of my eye. I used to see someone attacking me from behind but I haven't had that in years.
However my paranoia can get quite severe. Last year around this time I was trapped in a bathroom at group because I thought all the people could read my thoughts and were trying to get me to kill myself through telepathic messages. That was terrifying.
