People who have overcame spiritual (or other!) challenges, share your stories of how you did it!

Around six months ago i was almost a fundamental atheist. I would say i was so certain that the mechanics of the universe were fixed and so dead and cold. my days past with inner mutterings of fear and anxiety and putting my own thoughts into peoples heads. my reality became more and more unreliable as my assumptions of others or lack of appreciation of life increased. This is what lead to what was called a psychotic breakdown. Im now coming to see it was more of a spiritual break through. In that storm of warped reality. I came to extreme fear of others. Now i know it was me realising that others existed. i had very multidimensional ideas which i could not try to write down. But what i came to realise is we're connected through a higher awareness that seems to be more available in the present. Coming to accept that i am a multidimentional being dreaming through these 3 dimentions unaware of its immensity, i feel the divine in others and so reflected so by myself. im a complete novice still and am glad its a process that is endless. it means there is always a goal to be better ahead and see the value in life. Namaste.
