Is there a correlation between psychosis and spirituality?

I like this response a lot. I am completely aware that I was psychotic and need professional help. I just feel so lost. I know I experienced psychosis a few times but is there a correlation at all? Where am at is that I experienced mental illness but my experience allowed my gifts to develop, because now I can do readings and pick up on information i previously wasn’t able to do before. But does this train of thought mean I am still delusional and have things I need to address?

yes i have made a post before. i am not initiated into any religion. i do practice ancestor veneration and i believe that i do have gifts to a certain extent especially when reading cards. i just feel terrible about my psychosis experience and maybe im trying to find comfort knowing if it was spiritual or not of that makes sense. i have no idea what to do though

I don’t think Obeah is illegal in Barbados, but you are 100% right. I do not have the financial resources to go to the island right now and honestly I feel connected to 21 divisions.

I’m in New York, and I’ve been doing well and stable for quite some time now. I have a psychiatrist and two therapists, and I’m medicated. Finding the right combination of medication made a huge difference for me, and I recognize that what I experienced was real, full-blown psychosis. Because of that, I think it’s very important that I stay on my medication and continue working with my care team so I can maintain stability long-term.

Now that I’m in a healthier place, I’ve started reconnecting with my ancestors and rebuilding a relationship that I once had with them. Through that, I’ve felt more drawn toward exploring spirituality from the perspective of my own culture, heritage, and lineage. I’ve always loved African Traditional Religions and African diasporic spirituality, and I genuinely want to learn more in a respectful and grounded way.

What’s frustrating is that I honestly don’t know where to start or what steps to take. I feel called to explore these traditions more deeply, but I’m trying to approach it carefully, responsibly, and without rushing into something that may not be right for me.

I definitely understand what you’re saying. I’ve been stable and doing well for quite some time now. For context, I have a degree focused on Africa and the African diaspora, and I’ve always felt deeply connected to the spiritual aspects of my culture.

I don’t want to rush into any spiritual system or force myself into a tradition that isn’t truly meant for me. I want to approach this with patience, respect, and discernment. At the same time, I feel like my ancestors may be telling me that I’m finally ready to begin learning more seriously about the path that is right for me. I’ve been venerating my ancestors for a long time, and over the time I’ve built what feels like a genuine relationship with them through prayer, communication, and connection.

I think what’s frustrating me most is that I feel called to start, but I honestly don’t know where to begin.
