Snakeskin

Hello everyone! What would be your advice on recapping psychotic episodes? I always knew what they were back when I had them and could separate them from physical reality; they were vision-like I guess is the best way to describe them. So even though I'm pretty sure this will trigger them again, that doesn't worry me much; they weren't a threat to my or anyone elses physical safety. I haven't had them in years and I don't particularly want to return to listening to endless screaming choruses of disembodied suffering voices echoing through the great shadowy voids when all I'm trying to do is sleep, but I have a feeling I dropped the nightmarish stuff at the cost of a lot of good; thinking back, I became a lot more apathetic in general back then. And that's a dumb trade. Still, I would appreciate any advice you may have. I just have a feeling there's a lot of pitfalls in here and that there are a lot of much wiser people here than I. I'd be grateful for whatever experience you have to share on the subject. Thanks!
