Manic/Psychotic Talk
“He blew a glass jacket. The walls were mayo and I was chewing all of the dirt off of the vegetables.”
The above is known as a word salad ( no pun intended!) – the sayings are close enough for us to understand them – but overall, they just make no sense.
A psychotic friend of mine said the above during an episode.
Psychosis is a fascinating topic- it’s horrible to experience and horrific to see someone go through it- I have been through both. But after it is over, you can certainly be fascinated by what was said.

Julie, I thought that people w/ Bipolar II don’t get psychotic? Or did you have a psychotic depression?
Hi Kimbriel,
I answered this question on a separate blog post called Bipolar II and Psychosis.
