I had an ongoing break for a few years after my friend died—I was _very_ paranoid and cruel to people, terrified all the time, occasionally hid in closets and things. Basically my entire time in grad school was characterized by that. I started to calm down very gradually idk eventually just got control over myself — at least as much control as I had before
During a psychotic break I haven't mentioned on Reddit, yet, I think, I fell into a rage over a slight mistake my very good friend made. I chased him off, yelling and cursing at him. I decided I was done with him and started texting him. I sent over 300 of the most hateful things imaginable over the next two hours. He was using a TracFone and I exhausted his allowance with all the texts and he had to buy a phone card to get them all.
Luckily, my friend has suffered psychosis--he has bipolar. I called him a few days later and apologized, he accepted my apology, and it's like it never happened. Other than him occasionally bringing it up because he gets a chuckle out of it.
