And I'm saying thankfully there, Brenda, because it can stop.

So I used to see things.

I used to hear things that were not there.

Yeah.

But if you told me when I'm in the psychosis state that they're not there, it would make me very angry.

First of all, because I couldn't understand why you can't see what's going on in front of me.

Like I, as we spoke there at the start of the podcast that there was a rat infestation in my block of houses.

But I used to see the rats in my house.

But they weren't there.

Yeah, they were not there.

I took my kids out of bed at four o'clock one morning, took them out of bed because there was hundreds of rats running down, running around downstairs.

They were not, Brenda.

They were not.

And then your kids, were they like, mom, there's nothing there?

Yeah.

And I used to be like, thank God I can't see them now.

Yeah, I remember going over to my very close friend of mine, a neighbour of mine, beating down her door, three or four o'clock in the morning, you know, oh, you'll have to leave us in, you know, they're after getting into the house, the rats are after getting into the house.

And she was like, oh my God, what?

So she runs over and she's like, Rachel, there's nothing there.

And I'm like, why are you trying to make a fool of me?
