I have bipolar disorder and in the past when I had my manias, I would have these incredible episodes of psychosis where I would hallucinate or hear voices. I induced these manias by sleep deprivation and putting my body in extreme stress. Are there any other ways (non-drug) of starting a psychotic episode?

Why would you want to do that???I guess some individuals are attention seekers on here?? Or is this a legitimate question? I`m not answering this question, ( I do know the answer).

i would feel very uncomfortable about giving someone ideas about how to induce psychosis, particularly someone who is keen to put them into practice. i do understand you gain enjoyment from it but i would encourage you to look beyond it and try to stay well.
best wishes

I guess you have yet to get stuck in a terrifying psychosis.
I guess you have yet to experience the cognitive decline of untreated bipolar.
I guess you have yet to reach 30.
Don't worry, all of these things will come... unless, of course, you aren't really bipolar.

you'd be putting yourself into harm's way by inducing psychosis, hon.
please take care of you!
