Is anyone psychotic?

TLDR: Is anyone psychotic?

Naiwen opened the thread by sharing their recent emotional struggles and how they managed to calm down with the help of a crisis hotline and various therapy exercises. Naiwen also apologized for any previous rudeness due to their Asperger’s syndrome, which makes it difficult to handle emotional outbursts. Other users like Dome67 and Thought-full shared their own distressing experiences with psychosis, describing hallucinations and intense fears. The conversation revealed a common theme of experiencing overwhelming paranoia and hallucinations, leading to significant distress and isolation. Foxy highlighted the value of forums like this one for support and education, not just for individuals experiencing mental health issues but also for their families and friends. This sentiment was echoed by other users, emphasizing the forum's role in fostering understanding and empathy. The thread is a mix of personal revelations, expressions of empathy, and mutual encouragement.

I’ve just calmed down today after calling a crisis hotline and doing some therapy exercises, guided meditation, breathing exercises and yoga. So, the slightest question from anyone else, I’d take it as “bossing me around”. Because I’m also paranoid and have BPD, I always take it as a personal offence anything and harassment. Life has been a little overwhelming with the birthday celebrations around the house, I’d like to personally apologize to all for my rudeness. But since I have Asperger’s, I’ve no idea about how to deal with my angry outbursts and etc. I’ve called someone on the crisis hotline today. My apologies everyone.
 
Having close friends with siblings who hear voices or see tormenting visions, I have come to have great empathy and respect for these afflicted people. It must take tremendous inner strength to indure what most people can only relate to when they have a bad dream. Forums like this are great because they not only provide a place for people to share their experiences and encourage each other, but it's also a good place to educate and encourage family members and friends of people they love who are struggling mentally.

Totally agree @Foxy
 
I tell everyone the neighbours are watching me and someone is watching me in bed through the window. When someone looks at me I think they are planning to hurt me.
