Like i am caught up in something. Like something is haunting me..
People that seem to know everything about me without me knowing about them. Speaking about what the doctors call psychosis without having been in the same time and in the same place as i was. Well actually i have never told any doctor and never will.
I have seen and witnessed some weird *ss stuff and i wish i could make sense of what was going on around me. But i can't.
Don't get me the wrong way.. i think meds are protecting me.
I told two psychology majors that were studying once, that i experience psychosis sometimes (They where speaking about psychosis). They told me "don't believe it". Thats out of context.. but i don't know. Some stuff just makes me think. To no avail.
It almost feels like i am not taking the meds so that I don't become psychotic, it feels like i am taking them so everything around me stays in some sort of normal order. When i don't... Jeez man.. Everything is chaotic. The world seems to be "nuts" if i don't take them. That freaks me out to death and i am back on the meds.
Just a shot in the dark reaching out.

I feel your medical condition warrants the meds so that chaos doesn't appear in your life. What one would can psychosis. The meds control those feeling you describe. Don't you feel better with them? Phillipa

I just find it weird how medication seemingly influenced external things. How is that even possible.
Does it change how i interact with the world?

i've done quite a lot of hallucinagens in my time... what was amazing to me... was that it taught me a lot about how much of my experience was... in my mind. my contribution. coming from me. my perception. my interpretation. so very different when on the drugs... it got me thinking about how maybe that stuff was real and my usual reality... but really... neither had any more claim...
maher has this stuff on 'feelings of significance'. about how that is part of the 'delusional experience'. something happens... something that would be mundane... unremarkable... but to focus on that. or to have that strike one as... significant. important. meaningful. something like that... that quality to the experience...
it comes from you, yeah.

but it is, uh, well, part of what makes life worth living. that experience of meaning, i mean. but then there is about what quality it is... whether the quality is one of.. uh.. worth. or fear. or... what... about... altering, interpreting, directing the experience in this or that direction...

Well its not realistic at all. I am just saying that this is how it feels to me.
My sense of normal is gone when i dont take meds.
