I imagined I had a worm virus that spread to everything I touched. It was awful. I lost weight because O couldn't eatbecause I thought they were spreading in the food.

Very emotional right now but will try to be concise. I'm scared for my 17 year old sister, who is in a young person's mental institution and deteriorating rapidly. Doctors don't seem to want to listen and she is not getting the care she needs at all! :cry:

Hi! So roughly an year ago, I had a brief psychotic episode (my doctor called it a 'euphoric reaction') as a result of taking LSD. I was quite delusional with little to no insight and I used to believe that I could control things like the weather, what was on TV was totally related to me and a consequence of my thinking, that I was on a pathway to enlightment and I had to deal ...

Hey all. I was prescribed 25mg Quietapine brand name Seroquel for paranoia, I've taken it on and off and it just makes me feel drowsy and like a zombie with no real changes in the paranoia, I don't get any delusional thoughts so to speak just paranoia.

Hello. I have had two psychotic breaks, one in 2000 and one in 2013. The one in 2000 I really really believe was what I call a "spiritual experience".
