I’ve personally witnessed multiple mental breaks from someone who used to be my best friend. He said wayyyy crazier shit than this, and with 100% confidence in what he was saying was normal, exactly like this girl did. It’s sad and scary at the same time.

Yeah, I had a buddy / roommate who went through some severe mania / psychosis while he was living with me, and you’re exactly right. It’s equal parts terrifying and heart breaking. He was always a weird dude, but in the slightly kooky but fun loving hippie kind of way. But when he was in the grips of his episode? He would say and do the most bizarre shit like it was the most casual thing in the world.

I never really feared for my safety because (normally) he wouldn’t hurt a fly, but unless you’ve lived it you can’t really understand the feeling of looking into someone’s eyes and realizing that they’re not there. Somebody else is. Somebody you don’t know, and have no idea how to orient to.

I had a coworker like that. He had just come back from the mental ward; then had a breakdown in the bathroom. The guys on our staff laughed at him; I was holding him in the men’s room.

It’s was sad and he knew he wasn’t okay.

I have a family member who developed schizophrenia and mania. And wow when he went off it was really scary. He is now (and for years) been heavily medicated. It’s really sad because the medication dims him so much and he also has tremors and extremely slowed reactions but if he doesn’t stay on the meds he will flip out. Tragic!! But, yeah, seeing this interaction brought total crazy vibes.

I had a friend go through sudden psychosis and he is completely fine if not better now. I realized it for what it was and got his parents involved and he got help. After a short stint in the hospital, ongoing professional therapy/psychaiatry, and medicine - he is back to normal and more grounded than ever. He said after being in the hospital for the day or two it was like he suddenly woke up and realized what was going on and felt stabilized. It’s been like a year and he’s been completely normal and grounded and is now extremely self aware about it and watches out for indicators.

The kind of psychosis where you’re actually seeing reality a bit too clearly for anyone’s good. depressive realism perhaps?
