do you think you are psychotic or say that you are when posting on here like do you accept that that is what is going on with you.

my psychiatrist says i am but i do not agree.

I recognize that my reality is vastly different than that of other people's, and I recognize that 99% of people think I am psychotic. But I still believe what I do about reality. So I don't really know how "insightful" I'm considered to be.

that is like me i know i am not "normal" or that i dont believe the same things as everyone else but that doesnt mean that i dont still believe/experience what i do. i just think my reality is different but that it is still real.

Me too. My family and friends think I'm psychotic, they just don't understand reality the way I do.

normal people just don't get it..they see the world their way, I see it quite differently..probably sometimes behave quite differently..and because of that I may be called psychotic..whether or not I'm one I have no idea..

I have no idea whether or not I'm psychotic

I've been asking my doctor this for years. I asked the new therapist yesterday and she told me only if I wasn't in reality. I'm not sure what "reality" is, considering my paranoia started at 9. My hallucinations started at 13 and became non stop by 16/17. I've asked so many people and so many doctors but everyone says "I don't know". How am I supposed to know if no one else knows?!

this is one of the questions driving me insane.

I asked my boyfriend and he said "at times". I asked when and he said that "I never remember".

My psychiatrist and psychologist tell me I am but idk I still think I am just a little bit different but not that I am psychotic.

I never know that I am psychotic until I am no longer "psychotic"

As of right now, I feel like I was definitely psychotic all the times I've been in the hospital and I was definitely psychotic when I was hearing voices, but I can say that now because I am not hearing voices because my meds are actualy working!

If my voices talk literally 24/7, how am I supposed to know?

I've been wanting an answer for years but no one will give me a solid answer.

i think its as real as any reality. my paranoia means ive been watched over. my crazy thoughts were a contemplation of the spiritual world. i was simply someone with access to the best of both worlds and it was my job to speak about it

I only get psychotic breaks that last 1 full day at most.
When im psychotic i dont realize it, but my husband does and he never tells me my ideas are wrong or delusional he just reminds me of real stuff.
For example, i was psychotic yesterday and took off all my clothes and started shaking and saying i was trapped and needed to leave, and at that moment i really felt that was reality, but he looked into my eyes and says im safe and everything is okay and he understands how i feel trapped, but for my safety i shouldnt run outside naked, let go to the back porch instead.
Thank god i have him.

When I'm psychotic I don't know. Later I shudder when I think of it

For me, "being psychotic" makes no sense.
