"Sometimes the psychosis makes me believe I have done things that I did not really do. Like for example putting a package in the mail. My brain thought that I had already done it but in reality I learned that I had not actually placed a package in the mail yet. It is the weirdest thing because my brain just plays tricks on me and tells me that I have done something when I have not really done it. Therefor sometimes I tell other people that I have done something but I have not actually done it and this causes me to lie to friends and family. I do not like this part of the psychosis and wish that it would go away for good. The medicine helps make it go away for small periods of time but for some reason it is always coming back."
