What if what we call psychosis is sometimes a conversation with the universe?

Not a breakdown, but a breakthrough.

Not confusion, but clarity that the system can’t hold.

I’ve written a new Substack piece about the experience of spiritual awakening inside a psychiatric framework — and what happens when your insight is labelled as illness simply because it doesn’t fit the manual.

This isn’t a story about recovery.

It’s about revelation — and reclaiming your own map, even when no one else can read it.

If you’ve ever felt like your truth was pathologised, or your clarity misread as chaos — this one’s for you.
