Earlier last year I had a lot of stressful situations that led my insomnia to worsen. I didn't sleep at all for a month. After that I was put on a sleeping medication that worked but the delusions continued.

I thought there were cameras in the lights at my house. That my family was trying to take my son from me. That Hollywood was watching me and had inserted ear pieces in my ear. I thought everyone was in love with me (guy and girl, even celebrities). I heard scary demon like voices as well as encouraging ones. I heard songs and God talking to me as well. I thought people's slight movements like a head nod were trying to tell me something.

After being hospitalized the delusions continued and I thought the doctors were evil as well. I would look for cameras and look in my ear for the ear piece. The only hallucinations I had was seeing someone I know standing outside my window late at night. It seemed so real but couldn't have been.

It continued for a little less than 6 months even when I was sleeping well. I felt like it was schizophrenia but my Dr says it was a stress induced psychosis that's part of my BPD. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I am generally a very paranoid person though, thinking others have bad intentions. I was finally put on an antipsychotic and I am now better. 

Anyways, my family, friends, husband's friends and in laws all witnessed my breakdown or heard about it. I feel like an absolute freak. It's hard to even show my face around them, especially the in laws.

Any advice for facing people after experiencing this kind of breakdown?
