When I was a ripe 22, I had a psychotic break, during the episode a state trooper was delivering me to a mental institution. Twice on the drive my manic-psychotic mind became completely relaxed, thoughtless, it was as if my mind and my being completely and evenly dissolved throughout the universe, I was truly not there or anywhere for a brief moment. Both times this happened the state trooper swerved off the road...the second time he stopped to get me some smokes which he had refused to do prior, I felt as if he felt what I felt and realized what I was experiencing was real and after relating to it twice, decided to be kind....after much therapy and medicines disturbing realities from the experience remain. Others I have talked to about psychosis have had different but similar experiences. I would like to hear more.
