Have any of you ever had any of these symptoms?

There's some interesting discussions in this article on acute sense of novelty, looking for hidden meanings, etc.

Still looking for the meaning of this thread. Thanks for wasting my time.

If you're in the lounge, you have time to waste.

I have had the opportunity to treat patients with Amphetamine psychosis, steroid psychosis, infectious psychosis and seizure related psychosis, but I can only treat my own Amp psychosis. That is why I DIY, otherwise I have to buy too many things...

I don't consider reading an interesting or entertaining thread a waste of time, but in the end you're probably right in the sense that checking this place ends up being a waste of time. It shouldn't be like that though.
Anyway a joke that needs a pdf file to download is always a bad one.

In the beginning stages, patients over-identified with characters on television, or would hear a reference made to himself or associates. Gradually, the messages became personally directed; finallly the news media and others "knew too much." The more psychotic patients moved to talking directly to the television or radio. Television, radio, and electrical equipment were often viewed as vehicles of control and manipulation.

Altered object evaluation was manifest in other ways too. Fifteen patients described a compulsion to take objects apart, to analyze, to sort, and on rare occasion, to put back together. These patients "analyzed" details in a very concrete and repetitve manner. More abstract visuoconstructive trends were noted, such as reading blue prints, analysis of material in terms of color, pattern and weave. The more paranoid patients tended to search intensively for signs and meaning. One patient stated, "I looked everywhere for clues - under rugs, behind pictures - and took things apart. I read magazines looking at periods with a jeweler's glass for codes... they were to help me solve the mystery."

Amplifier psychosis.

Thanks. Much better now. It only takes a little effort to make a better thread.
