I am a schizoaffective victim and since 2002 I used to believe I could sell my soul to be transformed into a white person but that is in the past I’m over that now. I’m better off in hell. Heaven will never be hell and hell will never be heaven. I’m lucid for the moment.
I have been suffering from a problem for a long time. And it is increasing day by day. It is normal that many of us have hallucinations from time to time. It seems this has happened to us before. But what happens to me when I'm awake or asleep or whenever some specific scene plays out before my eyes I have no idea what's going on around me. I don't hear anyone talking to me. As the scene unfolded in front of me, I was sweating from head to toe, my heart rate increased, I wanted someone to take me out of there, but I couldn't verbalize it, and it went on for 30 to 40 seconds. When I came out of that scene I had no recollection of what I had seen. At once I try hard to remember but remember nothing of what I saw. I consulted many masters and consulted a few doctors. But did not get any solution. This problem started from class nine and now I study in honors. Most of the time it happens two or three times a day. Sometimes two or three times a week. Everyone in my family knows about this and the relatives in front of whom this happened also know. I asked them what state I was in at that time. They said that if they call me, I don't listen or shake them, but I don't move. I'm getting mentally ill. I want a solution for THIS. Plz help me.
There's nothing to manage, if you control ypu are bound to failure, you need to accept ypur wounded inner child with radical love, crying, screaming, breathing and singing songs like let it be. Its a gift in disguise, all cultures traditionally see it as a path to becoming a healer. I dislike dogma, theres a lot of medical advice that is dogmatic, black and white, trust experience not what otjers tell you, find a TCM therapist, do vipasana, do ayurvedic treatments, yogic healing wirh movement and breathwork, medical professional say it's very dangerous to simply rely on the medication because it's not the medication that will heal you or provide you the space to heal yourself. Will help you get into more stable state from which you can grow and learn to accept yourself unconditionally for how you are. We need all the pillars of support which can be provided from traditional actual treatments because that's what our body needs the most, has any scientists would argue the body is what heals itself the substances and treatments we give it only assisted in this process of healing itself. Your inner child is wounded so you have psychosis whatever the other label you want to give it just accept yourself radically for who you are feeling yourself to be not who you want to be but who you feel yourself to be and therefore you can heal that inner child by talking to them and the second person. No one's gonna heal you nothing's gonna heal you only you're gonna heal yourself.
Nobody other than people you intend to have sex with needs a public service announcement. Other than that, it's just attention-whoring. Gay people imagining that "nobody knows" and when they "come out" finding out that everybody knew all along, is practically a cliche.
You create the problem yourself. You don’t have to announce your sexuality. I always knew my brother was gay. From the time his was 6. He came out of his self imposed closet at 25. Everyone already knew. It was inside his head. No one else cared what his choices were. You announce your sexuality because you have a problem with it. The people that know you, have known for years, love you…period.
I appreciate your perspective! It's true that self-acceptance can often be a journey, and sometimes the process of coming out can be more about personal growth than what others think.
Look into the Open Dialog approach. Psychosis is hard to treat "on your own" but that's because isolation and neglect are major causes of psychosis anyway. With the right support and acceptance by a close family or community in a loving environment, people can and do get better with little or no medication. It's not about disproving delusions, it's about understanding what they symbolize to the person and how that relates to prior emotional trauma.
I thought people were gangstalking me so I moved to another country where one of my family members lived. I had a self CBT from time to time but I'm sure it would've taken really long time to recover without antipsychotics.
Seems like I’ve had psychosis since around 2006 but was not diagnosed until 2024 crazy how I’ve made it this far . I’ve had a few death scares and have harmed myself and others , homelessness and criminal activity
I'm curious, are there women who would feel this way even though they lived a happy or fulfilling life? Or she meant that it's just impulsive feelings regardless?
Statistically men commit suicide 3 to 4 times more than women especially the older they get. But most people don't know that women attempt suicide 3 to 4 times MORE frequent than men. I think what makes that big difference is that men are more likely to commit suicide by violent acts and women aren't likely to commit by violent act.
@erinbuxton6787 it's sad... because families suffer at no one's fault of their own. It hurts because you feel helpless...all we can do is be there to love and support even though it may feel hopeless
Its worse than normal every day crap that as women we have to deal with. The hormonal drop that leaves some with all these emotional issues, physical issues like weight gain, vaginal atrophy, itchy from dryness, low or no libido, some marriages do not survive due to this...to name a few.
Went through this still dealing with it but ended up going to the hospital all these emotions was happening no hot flash no warning it just all hit scared me a blood test found out what was happening
i just got sacked from my job no understanding of how im feeling right now and how toxic my work place was just wanted to cry all the time i was there. luckly i left now looking for new job.xx
I have Bipolar 1 and experience pyscotic delusions i took an anti pyscotic for 3 years it was Quetiapine as much as i hated taking it it has saved my life i hope people get the help they need ❤
Yes, 100% you CAN Do what you can to escape terrible circumstances & find a stable solitary living space, complete with a stable routine that prioritizes your security I was sexually assualted this past Fall after a year in near solitude, healing, in the process of recovering from psychosis caused by severe family abuse in spring 2022... I had felt much better, but that event did set me back. I was told the assualt would "bump me up the waiting list" for therapy... It did not, I am still waiting... Anyway, I am doing great now, on my own, using RU-vid to heal, learn & grow P.S. no drugs involved, I only allowed that once, 2017, i was sexually assualted due to being a human zombie I will never touch psyche meds ever again Do not let anyone implant limited thinking that you need therapy Remember that our ancestors made it thru many "dark ages" before psychology even existed 💜
I have to say, from experience, antipsychotics are pushed on people instead of intervention to save them from what is driving them mad. And in many cases, sudden taking of or withdrawal from antipsychotics can be extremely dangerous. I don't appreciate the monopoly on broken families by health care systems. Lack of human compassion is what is crazy and it's hardly surprising to hear that personalty disorders are calling the shots, should you ever even learn that much.
I got baker acted for drug induced psychosis, i was in and out of psyc wards, no one told my what they were giving me, or told me what they were treating me for, no doctor would talk to me nor ask about the side effects i was experiencing, i was taking 20mg of olanzapine and 7.5mg of buspirone a day when i got out of the psyc ward after 4 days they kept me for an extra day for no reason it was absolute hell, i stopped taking the meds when i got out then i was fine for a few weeks then i started having really bad panic attacks and went to another psyc ward that gave me the same meds that didnt work and when i got out i was still suffering from panic attacks or psychosis idk what it is something makes my heart race then i get terrible thoughts that im gonna die, i went to another psyc ward that prescribed me 10mg of olanzapine a night, i took it for a month then i ran out of olanzapine and they wouldbt prescribe me more for some reason. I quit olanzapine cold turkey and its been absolute hell, I've been getting terrible thoughts and panic attacks i cant control and horrible tension headaches i feel like the meds have given me permanent brain damage
i got it, i stay having crazy hallucinations about wat i might hear people say then i just go black n don’t remember some things i did while being paranoid
My bf thinks I'm stalking him , hacking his phone and broke up with me. I'm praying so hard he will get better soon and he realise. He is an amazing person. And it breaks my heart
Please can someone help me with some questions? Are people aware when they have psychosis? Are they of their behaviour. How long does it get healed. Do they occure back again?
Some people blackout during a psychotic episode and have no recollection of what they did. It can last days, weeks, months; even years from what I've read. Without the proper treatment, of course. I'm still doing research on it. But I can confirm that people with psychosis aren't always aware of it.
Too much weed Not enough to do No sleep An idle mind Not reading & comprehension No yearly dental & medical Wrong friends, family & teachers Not working & eating well Some reasons why there is a problem.
They thought i was schizophrenic and i don’t remember 3 weeks from the antipsychotic it actually caused full blown mania in me. U should rarely ever trust a doctor they also almost killed me and partially blinded me
I live with psychosis. I clawed back reality by trying to do away with spiritual/religious beliefs. Anti-psychotics are essential. My psychosis was linked to a history of horrific abuse. I was turning the other cheek to my abuser, this led to becoming very mentally unwell. I had to cut him out of my life.
