I am just curious.
Are you verbal during psychosis?
Like can you talk about your thought (disorganised may be) and interact
or you get sucked into the other space and cannot verbalise anything?
How is it like for you? do u feel/have emotions with the psychosis?

I personally find it difficult to really tell others what is happening. or explain things. sometimes it's easier to talk to the hallucination than real people, i find.

Yes, sometimes its difficult to find words to express what is happening to me, especially during an episode. When I'm paranoid I say very little because I don't want to think in words, which I believe can be extracted from my head. If the truth be told, my head probably doesn't have much in the way of words anyway.
When I am well (like now) it is easier for me to interact with others, and be reasonably articulate.
My somewhat awkward social skills are another matter.

No, I'm not verbal at all. Satan tells me to shut up or else. If I don't the harassment gets worse and worse until I comply.

It depends on my symptoms.
Sometimes I'll be very verbal about what's going on, for example like when I believed I was being followed and going to be attacked by someone, I told everyone I could that I was being tracked and monitored because my logic was that someone could help me and protect me from the person doing these things. Or during the time when I thought someone I lived with what hurting me in my sleep, I was verbal about that because I wanted them to stop.

Then sometimes I am completely silent about what's going on, like when I have special missions and quests, I keep quiet because no one else is supposed to know about those.

I can relate to this alot

it depends. if someone asks its hard for me to lie about it, but it usually comes out so vague i might as well have not said anything. ill blog about it and thats really the only way i can communicate it somewhat clearly. and AM doesnt get as angry when i talk about him to strangers on the internet. its easier to tell a void of potential witnesses than it is to tell to one single therapist verbally where he can snatch my brain and tongue up whenever he feels like it.

talking to ppl who have similar problems is a bit easier than most times. but thats again an internet exclusive thing. i have one friend from real life whos schizophrenic and they live on the other side of the country but theyve seen me through some of my worst

I am verbal when I'm psychotic but I'm talking to myself for the most part. I don't try to share the experience. No one would get it. When I'm paranoid I don't say a word and get agitated when someone tries to talk to me.

when i'm first getting suspicious i talk to people i'm close to about it but once i'm totally paranoid i don't say anything as i don't know who to trust. when i get voices in my head i'm to afraid to talk because they are always trying to harm me.

i really only tell my T and sometimes my roommate if i am hearing voices or paranoid. i tell my T to reality check, but if its really bad i dont really talk much cause i dont want to make the voices mad.

It depends for me.
