Stevo the Human
I believe that I have a very mild psychosis. Yeaterday, I lied in my bed and looked out my window into the clouds. I suddenly saw little blue and white dots floating around in front of me. I couldn't lay my eyes off of them. They were the coolest things I've seen all summer! I was trying to figure out wether they were in the room or outside floating hundreds of feet in the air. That amused me for a good fifteen minutes, but for some reason, that only happened when looking at the clouds and in no other situation. eek

Otherwise, I hear a sound of someone shouting. I look over, and noone's there.


*lol* Actually, those cloud floaters are a visual phenomenon caused by your eyeballs, and they're perfectly normal. Also, a lot of n0rms hear voices occasionally. Especially shouts of their name and especially in the mornings or before bed, often in the shower. The brain does funny things.

It's happening right now, as I type. There are tadpoles squirming and flitting back and forth across my face, and --eveything-- around me has an aura. It GLOWS. Also there are spirals on the monitor. Looks like a DNA strand one minute, and a slinky the next. It's fun. I'm just slightly worried it'll get worse, when I see blood running on the walls, bugs crawling on me and coffins...eugh.. That kind isn't fun.


Yeah, I usually see bugs when some really bad hallucinations are just revving up to start, and then cats when they're dulling back down into their normal ambient existance.

Hmm... I can't say ive ever hallucinated, maybe I only have mild pyschosis.

The most annoying thing about my condition is that if I let too much stress build up, I can forget anything important that needed completing or was due. I have been able to use my condition to get certificates a few times in those situations, and I felt really guilty about it too, because if I had managed time better then nothing would have happenned. gonk

When I say I can forget: I mean I will be unable to sleep, experience mood swings from high to low, paranoia starts to creep up on me if I dont keep myself in check... Basically in these situations I take a 5mg dose of zyprexa and sleep the stress off.

(I remember one time, I tried going to college to sit a test that was due, and my friend was going on about how we were both screwed since we hadn't studied. He started talking about one of those books about the bible code or something -- and since I had in the past... ended up in a mental home raving like a religious fanatic as many pyschotics do... I started to suspect him of trying to aggravate my condition.

then I realized that I would only be thinking weird thoughts like that if I was past my stress limits, so I packed up my bags after rushing through the test and went home to rest.)

I've been to a mental hospital two times. I used to be on Risperdal but it gave me a lot of side affects so they put me on Seriquil. I mostly have auditory halusinations. I hear the voice of this man from behind me telling me to do things. Most of the time really bad things, and its like I want to do them but really I don't. Its hard to explain. I sometimes do see things though and it is hard for me to tell if they are real or not. It happens more when I am stressed. I am a big time loner. I always get really paranoid when I am around other people. I don't even respond well to some one saying hi to me.
