If you really feel stuck just take a break for awhile then take a quick puff when you're drunk or something

He said he was sick if all the bullshit and that he didn't know what to do so he was gonna walk around in front of that coffee hop until go top him what to do.
Don't be that guy.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA

You guys witnessed my personal bout of schizophrenia
I was on my phone and didn't bother reading the spelling mistakes.
but the homeless guy said he was gonna walk around in front of that coffee shop all day until god told him what to do and where to go and something about how god was gonna find him a lady. it was absolutely necessary to him that god was gonna find him a lady. I went with him to find some cigarettes and he had a friendly conversation with the girl working there for a minute and then afterwards, told me "I guess God didn't want me to be with her."

I didn't read the entire thread but I had a friend who had a similar experience to yours. It was caused by the death of his mother, he began to experience precognition and certain other effects similar to what you experienced. The best scientific explanation I can come up with is that you actually didn't experience precognition, your brain simply inserts the memories there so that you feel as if you knew someone would be in the doorway before they were, for example.
Other than that, psychosis is a not well understood phenomenon but it sounds like you are improving.

Schizophrenia is a permanent condition so you don't really have a bout of it , you either have it or you don't. When you have a temporary period of madness that is called psychosis. Psychosis can be triggers by sleep deprivation, drugs, stress, injury or any number of other things.
I once had a marvellous period of psychosis with similar symptoms to what you describe in your OP.
It was the most Intense, wonderful, bizarre and traumatic thing ever. In so e ways of was the most magical Time Of my life. I ended up being hospitalized for three weeks. I don't take medication for it and it has never happened again .
I had so many incredible experiences , visions, hallucinations, hearing voices, religious and spiritual epiphanies, mystic and ecstatic states , coincidences and synchronicity and even real paranormal powers and events.
I could and will write an essay or even a book on the whole experience.
The trigger was three days of MDMA and ketamine with sleep deprivation and a bunch of stress and a car accident and other things all going on at once.
It was incredible. So much to say but no time now.
In any case just relax, take it easy and don't worry! Get lots of rest and sleep. Avoid stress and don't over think things.
The funny thing is I won't a 20 000 dollar graduate scholarship while in the mental hospital.

But patterns exist everywhere
At least they seem to.
An example might help.
I turn on my computer, log in and open my browser. I have used a computer many times before and I know from experience that a browser is like a gateway to the internet. Since I also have experience with the internet, I know that it allows me to visit web pages that other people have created and read content on those web pages.
One of my favorite places on the internet is the shroomery. I go there every day. I know from experience that the shroomery is a website with a forum on which many people discuss drugs and other related topics.
All of these things that I know, I feel that I know for certain. This is because many people that I know IRL have vouched for the fact that the internet is a place where people can connect to other people.
The fact that so many people agree with me, however, is not enough to convince me today. Today I am psychotic and paranoid.
Since I am paranoid, I am hyper-skeptical. I take nothing at face value, and take every word literally. Since I am psychotic, I see similarities between the things that people are posting on the shroomery.
Today I see that two threads in the pub are related to the same issue, SR. I know that SR was recently busted. These two thoughts, though unrelated, seem to both be significant. This makes me suspicious.
I see that there is a pattern between the two threads. Normally I would realize that this is because the threads are about the same topic, but remember, I am paranoid. I believe that there is a pattern here, though a sane person would immediately discard that idea. They see that pattern and know that it is false.
So when my brain goes on a crazy tangent thinking that the FBI has taken over the shroomery, you would think me insane for recognizing a pattern that you briefly acknowledged then discarded.
My mind sees the pattern and refuses to discard it. My pattern finder is too sensitive, so it makes this non-pattern seem significant when it is not. Your pattern finder knows how to discern the difference a bit better than mine, so you don't get paranoid, but I'm wrapping my cellphone with aluminum foil and hiding in the bathtub.

That sounds intense. How did you trigger it?

That was just an example.
Anything can trigger it. Literally any thing that occurs within the life of a schizophrenic person can trigger it, no matter how insignificant it can seem to a normal person.

Oh I just meant in general. How did you initially trigger the schizophrenia? Did you trigger it through drugs, or did it just sort of come on it's own? I'm just curious
