I don't understand how people think of their psychosis as magical or marvelous, so I get what you are saying there also. When I had my last episode, I had the persecutory kind. I don't want to experience that again. It was very dark and scary. I hope you are doing well and that things are calm for you now. / hugs
Several of my psychotic episodes have been absolutely terrifying. Without a doubt, the darkest moments of my life. Just awful

This. There was nothing high about it. It was an all time low.

I totally get the experience of a magical/marvelous psychotic experience. I was once so high I literally believed I was experiencing heaven. But, it turned so, so terrifying so quickly so even given that I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy (although I sometimes secretly crave that feeling).

For me, I don't remember. I get to a certain point and everything is gone from my memory. I have no recollection. I am told by others what took place. /sigh

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
