The psychotic symptoms came after I stopped sleeping & eating.I thought I had an x in my tongue and i would look at it in the mirror,and think I was marked by the devil,also thought the mirror moved everytime i looked in it. I thought my stomach was disconnected from my intestines and kept going to the er wanting xrays.I was sure that if i ate or took any pills i would die.I got obsessed w/owls.Thought if I looked one in the eye,whether real or in a picture,I would die.I had loud music blaring in my head all night long,and felt as if bugs were crawling up & down my legs.I really felt doomed and often thought of walking into the dead of night,laying down in the woods and dying by freezing to death.I was pretty bad off.I would hear some evil voice saying bad things to me.I was afraid of water too,I thought I would die if I took a bath.Didnt wash my hair for 4 months,now I think,yuk.I almost got put into the psych ward.I came back from all that,cant believe it and I am so grateful to feel good again.

The words are maps.
