Psychotic Break

RE: Psychotic Break
I think a better question than "Are you psychotic?" would be "Am I psychotic?" because without somebody else telling you you are crazy, you would have a hard time figuring it out.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

If you're psychotic then you won't know you were otherwise I don't see how you could be.

If I had known that I wasn't really Jesus and was just psychotic then I wouldn't have believed I was and so hence wouldn't have been psychotic in the first place.

I have never had a Psychotic Break. But back in high school my friends and I would joke about it.

And you should never feel bad about it, it's funny stuff.

No offense to any former rubber room residents in the crowd.

The line between sanity and insanity is a very fine one. Personally I'd say you were insane Dotard and would have you straightjacketed immediately for public protection.

No argument from me on that one.

The outcome of this poll is interesting. Only one self report and two diagnosed cases. I was expecting more. I guess they aren't as common as I thought. It makes me feel like a broken unit, even though it was 16 years ago and I feel pretty good most of the time.

3/12 that's 1 in 4. Not so bad I think?

I was 18 and about 3 months old when I had my 8 week holiday of utter utter utter insanity.

RE: Psychotic Break
I've never had any psychotic break to my knowledge. I guess not taking any drugs (except alcohol, in small quantities) kinda helps. But I once woke up at 5am thinking it was 7am (my alarm clock read 5am but my brain couldn't figure it out Confused Fall ) and started my morning routine. It took me a good ten minutes to realize my awful confusion. Does that count ?
