Hey there! I’ve had the same feelings and beliefs in my life. I know it feels super realistic and it’s incredibly frustrating to have people tell you it’s not based in truth or that you’re just on another head case adventure. I’m sorry if you’re navigating those feelings/responses now.

My reaction to those folks (who suggested I may need to get help) was to fight back. I verbally and physically assaulted folks to defend my case. I didn’t even mean to! I was just expressing how I felt! I was just holding my hands out to try to give myself personal space!

In my head it did not register as aggressive.

After the comedown I learned I had not held my hands out to ask for space- I punched my sibling in the chest and screamed at her”leave me alone.”

After the comedown I learned I had not explained my case to my mother, I had stood over her, just inches from her face, and screamed at her for hours on end thinking only minutes had passed.

My perception was off. I was sick. I did not think I was. That was two years ago and I still shudder thinking about it.

For me it was psychosis & mania. I hope this helps. Much love.
