So crazy dude I had a very similar psychosis it slowly crept in tho I wasn’t aware of it but I remember a medium or something on my phone saying I’ve seen the way you’ve lived for along time and I can change that for you I’m going to change things also told me I had the mountain and valley on my right palm idk how she knew this but I also was very close to my faith when this happened I was running 5 miles every other day I was doing really well I remember feeling like a million bucks I felt so important like I was the chosen one out of everyone on earth I was chosen to receive this Holy Spirit ended up breaking into a house randomly and spend 5 weeks in jail and 4 weeks of it I was having all these conversations with these voices of family and friends in my head

@@scottbunning6737 It can definitely feel like a spiritual awakening when in Mania and experiencing psychosis. Your experience sounds very similar to mine. I felt like God was directly communicating with me and I had to do something about it. Glad you are insightful about your psychosis. Thank you for commenting

My breakdown, or psychotic episode, was the result of a pre-longed period of attempting to deal with my issues on my own, and also the effect of significant stress. It was essentially a breakdown after what was the worst year of my life, which was a result of emotional abuse. Before all of my problems, I was actually an extremely confident and put-together person. This psychotic episode was a massively significant time in my life, where my general relationship with my family massively changed. It was awful, and I'm still in the process of healing from it (and also from the things I experienced before it). I'm currently on medication, which is not right for me. I really want to get off my antidepressants. It's just all been such a mess, which is probably what made everything worse for me. I at sixth form right now, doing my A-Levels. In many ways life is hard, but I'm pushing on and just trying to envision a better life; and I know if I continue trying to become the best version of myself, I will achieve the life of my dreams.

Well done man. Thank you for bravely sharing this frightening experience in such an authentic and accessible way. 🙏

That must have been so scary and shocking. And sad when you had to leave the bliss of love feelings. I really really love that more and more BRAVE WONDERFUL people are sharing their experiences on KZread. It's an incredible service to humankind. It's not healthy for society to ignore what is a common experience for so many of us. Why should anyone have to hide things that make them what they are? Why should anyone be alone? We're strong when we join together in understanding. Many blessings on you and your honest way of living.

Thank you for the nice supportive comment. I decided to start publishing this content, as I felt very alone and confused when symptoms became stronger initially. I hope the videos help people see that they are not alone, and there is a way to live with these symptoms. I always love hearing from people like yourself, motivates me to continue this journey on KZread. I agree with you, these days it feels not as taboo as before to discuss mental health. Making the videos also helps me process it better, and increases my ability to share what it really is to be experiencing these symptoms.

Hi there, thank you for creating this video. I have a family member recently diagnosed with psychosis & schizophrenia. It was sudden and she has been reading the bible. I ask questions to help, but she’s in a state of distrust because she doesn’t believe she should be on medication. What do suggest I do to help? Also, When you heard the voice, was it one you’ve never heard before?

I have sort of been in a controlled state of psychosis since, the delusions and voices have never gone away from me, I have learned ways to push them away to a point where I can function. I am on paliperidone currently with some side effect medication that come with this antipsychotic, but medication are different for everyone and should be taken after consulting a psychiatrist. It takes a while to stabilize on medication, for me it took around 2 years to figure out the right dose.

So is like if I suddenly started to dream while being awake, mixing up my real surroundings with hallucinations and interacting with it. 🤔

Nothing you just described gives me the message of psychosis. This is very well described as NDE (Near Death Experience). You might have almost actually died. It is overwhelmingly common for NDE to be very traumatic, because of the immense grief of “coming back to life”. Statistically, it is not uncommon for people with this kind of NDE to end their own life as an attempt to return to what they experienced in their NDE. I had all this happen to me too, but while doing parts work (how I discovered I have NDE), and I was fully awake, lucid, and conscious. It was as boring as daydreaming. No convincing hallucinations. I just chilled out, listened to music, and let my mind wander through a daydream. You had one hell of a dramatic spiritual trip, but I understand the feelings. That… “intense mass of love and light.”

@lettersfromschizophrenia

9 ай бұрын

Thank you for the comment. I can see the similarities between NDEs and my experiences. This did put me on a long journey of finding out what is happening with me. I hear voices which are not there now, though medicines help with that. Also, while trying to sleep, I can start seeing things. Psychosis is generally a loss of connection with reality, and this one wasn't as disconnected because I didn't understand anything happening fully. Later on there have been attempts to give it meaning and trying to find a way to stop and overcome this, or push it so far away that I can function. Thank you for sharing your experience! I am sure it will help give a perspective to people in search of understanding their own experiences.

Please ask for a blood test for food allergies/sensitivities, there is research that gluten intolerance can make schizophrenia worse and or cause psychosis. I hope this helps someone.

how can you tell difference between an anxiety disorder and psychosis? I took weed and benzos together 2 years ago and my brain has never been the same since. I get thought patterns such as "hes figured us out quick run away" like someones talking in my head acknowledging that i recognise the thing in my head if that makes sense. Ive been treating it as anxiety, but the symptoms, thoughts and emotions are pretty intense

@lettersfromschizophrenia

Ай бұрын

I think anxiety is fear of possible outcomes that stem from real things. Like the fear of crashing not allowing you to drive a car. Where as psychosis is believing in something that is not real to most others, that has become real to you. I have made logical sense of un real things in my head that I cannot unsee. And when I cannot disregard it, I call it psychosis when I start interacting with it, or it makes me dysfunctional enough to impact my life negatively.

I have been on medication since 2020, and they do help. I am on antipsychotics and other medication for depression. I have noticed in the past when I do not take them, my symptoms are stronger. The medication keeps everything manageable. You should discuss with the doctors which medication to take and it should be managed by the doctors for you. Different medication works for different people. I am on paliperidone (antipsychotic) A side effect medication for the antipsychotic and also on an antidepressant. Took me a few years to stabilize on meds and find the right combination. But once you have figured out the right combination with your doctors, things get easier and its just like a routine.

With unstable mood, your friends situation sounds like schizoaffective disorder, but diagnosis should be left to the doctors to determined. As someone who has been in denial, no matter what anyone says will change my reality of experiencing these things. It's quite isolating when the rest of the world doesn't understand. You can show support by explaining how you love the person, what you are seeing, how you see it negatively effect them, explain to them you are only saying this because you care for them, and you are there for them in any way they need. Ultimately, it is their decision to seek help, unless they are a danger to self or others. That is when you and the love ones should intervene. Hope that helps.

I can understand that feeling. In my extended mania and psychosis I would dream like everything was fine, but I would wake up and the psychosis would continue. I could barely sleep. I thought there was no way I could ever deal with it, and had the same feelings as you. I checked myself into a hospital and my journey to getting back to a functional life with limited symptoms began. It takes a little bit of time for things to stabilize. But things get better on medication. It’s scary, and there are side effects, but if you allow people to help you can push the worst of it away. Hope you get help, it’s worth it, and you are stronger when you learn to manage it!
