I'm interested in this thread, but it may take me a while to get my thoughts together into something coherent.
Doo, you mentioned something about becoming psychotic--I'm diagnosed with "psychosis not otherwise specified", so I guess I'm officially psychotic. One thing that I've been thinking about recently is how much "psychosis" is culturally determined.
For example, if I (or perhaps more importantly, my psychiatrist) were a Buddhist, would the thoughts that come to me about the nature of reality be considered correct and indicative of progress along the path?
Can you tell more about the type of therapy you're entering? Is it for "existential" issues? I haven't gotten anywhere with the therapists I've been to, but that may have been because my diagnosis at the time was depression and what they thought would be my "issues" weren't.
