Yesterday's mania turned into today's depression. So many regrets and self loathing. To be fair, I did forget to take my meds during the weekend and I've just quit smoking too. WITHDRAWALS

The Android.
National Eating Disorder Awareness week is approaching.
2012-2013 I used to think I was an android and developed an eating disorder. Read more on my IG: HealingMadnessArt

The Airport Lizard People. They realised I had the ability to see their true form and they started tracking me and sending me messages.

Last night I saw my partner's face turn in to mine, with evil grin and dead eyes. I believed he was taken over by and evil being that's here to torment me.
Yet, I am safe. Just #psychotic.

Hand sculpted with air drying clay, hand painted glass eye, in a resin frame. Animated with AI.
I love the stop motion-like effect!
Many psychotic people may relate to the thoughts of being watched.

AI animated selfies I took the other day. It is me, but also it's not.
During my psychotic episodes, I often couldn't recognise my own face or features.
I still avoid looking at myself for too long in a mirror.

I'm home, having awfully loud vocal tics. It all comes out when I'm in my safe space trying to relax. My tics are triggered by anxiety, intrusive thoughts and voices too.
Trying to convince my brain- I had a nice day and there's nothing to be worried about. #tourettes #schizophrenia #psychosis

Yea it is quite common! And it was quite strange as I'm not religious at all, yet have had somewhat religious delusions here and there.
I can't remember how did I finally get over it myself. Probably was humbled by life somehow!πŸ˜…

Another AI video of the tigers in my messy apartment. The AI makes them look so precisely matching to my #hallucination. Something is off about them. The uncanny valley effect. #uncannyvalley #psychosis #schizoaffective #schizophrenia #aivideo #whitetiger

I haven't had that kind of experience, but can imagine it! I had more delusions of otherworldly beings in our world or that other people aren't real. When I was younger I also thought that I'm the only conscious being, "Messiah".

Playing with AI again.
During my psychosis I often felt like I couldn't recognise people's faces as human. Their features were blurry or "melting". Imposters, I thought and immediately got anxious.

I've got schizoaffective and ADHD too. It's a struggle, honestly. But I live a good life! I have my small business and I work full time from home too. My employer has been very supportive, I am lucky. I have understanding partner and friends. They keep me grounded. Best of luck!✨

When I first had my #psychosis in 2012, I saw these faceless black cats everywhere in my apartment. They didn't make any noise, just did what ever cats do.

Help smash stigma! If you’re up to it, post a photo of your beautiful self if you live with mental health conditions to let others know they’re not alone.

A lot of my #hallucination #delusion and #paranoia is somehow about being watched. I used to see these eyes and faces pop out of my walls that would follow me.

This was my first try with AI. I took a photo of my hand and described my #hallucination of the eye opening on my palm. I love it how unreal and somewhat sore it looks, very uncanny.

I saw this angel or beautiful young man with dragon wings in my kitchen. It's been my most recent vivid hallucination. It reminded me of the Tarot card Temperance, so I used some tarot cards as reference for this. #psychoart #hallucination #schizophrenia #psychosis

Animated this drawing with an AI and it gave me the giggles! It really suits the creature, how awkwardly it stumbles up the stairs. I was never scared of this hallucination, I almost enjoyed it's presence. Bringing it to life like this is so healing. #schizophrenia #psychosis #psychoart

Photography with digital art.
I used to see this massive spider creature staring at me at the bottom of my stairs all the time. I was never scared of it however, I knew it wouldn't come up stairs.

I used to see white animals, especially tigers at my flat. Laying in my sofa especially. This photo is made with AI. I tried my best in describing the worst state of my home and it got it quite spot on! #psychoart #psychosis #schizophrenia #schizoaffective #hallucination
