Nah nothing is insensitive about what you said.

You have heard of some what I'm describing. It's a combination of some undiagnosed (or undiagnosable, as I've been told) sleep disorder and some form of anxiety/panic related psychosis, which all can go hand in hand. Ever had a really mentally and physically exhausting day? How did your sleep go? Now imagine doing that every day for years.

That particular story is just the sleep aspects of what I have experienced. Those were mild, to be honest.

As for recovery, a certain portion of people with psychotic symptoms can recover through proper treatment over the course of a few years, and it can become latent. I still have symptoms occasionally, but it's manageable and not a big deal anymore.
