There were a lot of
scanned official looking documents and the one that really disturbed me was like it was graphics it was like a camera which turned around and flashed at me and yeah that really scared me I put my head on the desk and someone said you're all right Glenn and I said I'm just gonna get out of here so that's what I did.
What do you recall of your first proper psychotic episode after that?
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
All this sounds a bit like just like my descent into madness, but I reckon I became properly psychotic probably a day, a day and a half after I walked out of Enron.
Became completely delusional and I started hallucinating and kind of hearing voices, not very loud ones.
Yeah, that's a very perceptive question because it was a bit of both.
It was terrifying.
Like I thought people across the street in the flat were monitoring me somehow so I went over there and it was like I was on some kind of a drug.
I once watched a documentary about this drug called Angel Dust or PCP.
It was like I had this incredible strength and I was just trying to
kicked down the door of this flat across the road.
It was very definitely interesting times.
I mean, some of my psychosis was just me being psychotic, but yeah, I definitely felt like there was a lot of stuff going on.
So I ended up having three psychotic episodes.
The first two, I kind of thought, did something occur to me or something like that overseas?
And I thought, yeah, maybe it had, maybe they'd got at me at work somehow, but...
By the time I had my third episode back in Australia, I hadn't been overseas.
I'd just stopped taking my medication.
So I just figured out however this happened, I've got a problem and I've just got to deal with it now.
