It Took Me 4 Years to Recover from Psychosis 

Guys if you are smoking weed , I highly recommend that you stop. I was dealing with psychosis and didn’t even realise that the weed was a main reason that it was causing it. It’s called weed induced psychosis. It’s been 10days now since I stopped and I already feel so much better and have much less psychotic symptoms , I wish the a speedy recovery for all of you guys and truly if you stop smoking weed I promise that you will get better and the symptoms will be less noticeable

It took me about a year to finally get to a place where I feel how I did pre-psychosis episode. I’m so happy that I’m able to think like I used to, write how I used to, process information like I used to etc. Ooouu it’s very interesting hearing you talk about the synchronicities and spiritual aspect because I experienced that fr. My doctor called it hyper religiosity. Then the depression afterwards as well. I was sad because I wasn’t who I used to be. Couldn’t function like I used to. I’m so happy that I’m better now though.

God bless you and all the people who suffer from this mental illness

going through my first psychosis recovery process right now and this made me feel seen and helped me a lot. the depression part sucks. it’s nice knowing i’m not alone so thank you for making this ❤

It took me about 3 years to recover. What expedited my recovery was holding myself accountable to an exercise routine.

My husband has just started this awful journey. He became psychotic 6 months ago. Out of nowhere like a lightening bolt. In that time he’s already been to 3 places. 2 bad places & one decent place. Cops and ambulance twice. So thank you for sharing a more realistic time frame. I’m so sorry you went through this. I’d never wish this on anyone. Take very good care of yourself. It’s important.

I came close to what I believe was psychosis from 25 years of marijuana use. I never experienced such a loss of control of my mind. Very scary at the time. I’m clean now and haven’t experienced any symptoms that I was previously. Now I have immense empathy for people struggling wit mental disorders. There is hope!

Your thought process is very mature and realistic. Kudos to you!

Thanks for talking about this its not an easy thing to go through and there's a lot of stigma around it so i appreciate people talking about it💙

Psychosis is the scariest illness I have ever had. Amphetamine induced. The fact that I didn't know I was psychotic was the scariest. The persecutors were real. What a relief when I realised it was psychosis and I wasn't being persecuted.

So thankful i have found these videos, you all are saving lives by sharing your stories so we all don't feel so alone. Thank You.

This really helped listening to someone who went and is going through this it makes me feel alittle less alone in my mental illnesses. So thank you and I hope you are doing well. ❤

Your rooms backround has such a chill feel! Thank you for your transparency!!

I greatly appreciate this video. Up until I watched it, I've been in a hurry to recover. It's been a little over a year now and I feel a world of difference but I still have a ways to go - I still occasionally hear things, some days it's better other days it's not but I'm living and I'm sure I'll get back to 100% eventually. Thanks again.

Thank you for making this video. My daughter is struggling with the aftermath of bipolar depression. I am proud of you and wish you peace, love and full healing❤️

Nice thumbnail 👍🏽 It was really great that you noticed the need and desire for this video and addressed it - thank you. Personally, my most dramatic psychosis was two years ago January and I know I'm still recovering. Month by month I notice changes - for a while I was on a very high dose of an injectable antipsychotic that, combined with occasional alcohol use, made me extremely sedated. Only a few days ago I had the thought that I wasn't walking into walls and corners anymore. My point is that it's hard to know what "normal" is after psychosis, as you mention. For a long time that was my normal and for the last few months I have been feeling so much better, and how I define "better" is evolving constantly which you also addressed. Thanks again for another good video.

Great outlook on taking medication long term, really nice to hear and relatable in my current situation. Thankyou for sharing

Thank you so much for this video. I had a recent episode of psychosis and it did not end well for me. I'm recovering slowly and this really helps.

Thank you so much for making this.

Its very great to see that you went back to normal life its very encouraging for me as a person how suffer from psychosis as well.. i feel you with my heart.. keep strong i will do as well and keep your channel up👍🏼🙌🏼

I had my first psychotic episode in March 2018 and I only got better in August 2019. I temporarily suspended my studies at university back then and I'm on my second gap year, just catching up with doing exams last year and this year. I'm lucky to have my family and friends support me during this time and all the extra time off has made me develop closer bonds to people. I used to not really socialise much in person but I've found that this was a key component to my recovery. Along with picking up guitar and going to guitar lessons. I also prepared for and sat my grade 8 piano exam last year. Doing daily exercise really helps boost my mood as well. I used to put my education above everything and worked really really hard whilst neglecting other aspects of my life but now I find that putting self-care above that is good and is what should be done.

Hey man you are very brave for making these videos. It really helps listening to your story because it is in many ways similar to mine. Last year I went to the other side of the world to a psytrance festival and had a very hardcore psychotic episode. I abandoned the festival, lost everything I had with me and wondered off the streets of Panama during 7 days, barely eating or sleeping until I was found by police as I had gone missing. I dont think i did any drugs on the festival, however i had taken mushrooms and mdma the previous months back at home. Mixed with introspection, it was what triggered my psychosis. Before my psychosis I felt very spiritual and connect to the world, everything seemed beautiful and I could go out and be completely in the moment only sensing the world and not thinking at all-you must understand since you also took psychedelics . When i listened to psytrance my mind would go into a trance state and i relaxed all muscles in my body while feeling loving emotions very intensely. Now my life just feels so numb in general...when i listen to music i start thinking about other things and i feel a void where my emotions should be. I wonder if my life is going to be as bright as it was, if i can ever reach this stat without the use of drugs or if i just have to learn to live with a different intensity . I am on antipsychotic medication currently, do you think i feel "normal" again once i quit it? Thank you so much

Daughter was just diagnosed . I appreciate your time in making this video . Continue to build and make videos like this please - it helps us going through it ❤ Blessings to you All 🙏🏼✝️

Thanks man I definitely needed to hear this today I'm personally going through psychosis right now and its been really hard for me and yeah it's no joke stay safe and healthy 😔🙏

Hi from Brazil. I've also been on a path to recovery from two psychotic episodes. The first was in 2016 and second in 2018 [both very different]. Been stable on risperidone 3mg. And what you've said about taking time is really something everybody going through this should hear. It's all ups and downs, so having patience is mandatory. Your video really makes me think I'm not the only one in this, and I feel like there's a lack of content that addresses these experiences on the internet. Not many people are brave enough to speak about it so openly, I admire that you do. I feel like everyone who goes through this would benefit a lot by talking to people who also gone thru the same thing. Sharing and assessing how similar these experiences are and how different they can be from person to person is very therapeutic. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and tell you that you've gained a new follower on social media. Sorry for my bad english. Best wishes.

Thank you 💟 Good luck young man.

Bless you, you are such a blessing to us out here fearing for our loved ones future.. I wish you so much joy, you can't ever imagine. ♥️💕♥️💕

This is for everyone going through psychosis: Stay strong, you will be all right! You’re not alone. Contact someone to help you through this. I had drug induced psychosis from weed and DMT and i felt like i’ll never feel ok and my life is lost but it’s not. I am completely fine and happy right now after 2 months of recovery without medication. I am back to my normal life like nothing has happened. So have hope and patience and everything will be okay♥️♥️

coming up to a year since my last psychotic episode which was my 5th one in 8 years. Mentally exhausted. Really needed this vid today. thanks

Thanks for the information. It helps me understand what my son is going through. Much appreciated. Stay healthy.

Thank you for the video! You have done a great service!!!

Great video! Not enough first hand accounts for people to relate to. Thank you so much for sharing

Tysm for your insights! I’m on meds for psychosis I discovered a month ago and I was so upset that there’s so little information about it. I really felt a lot better listening to you talk about this. I know the slower and more sober pace is going to be good for me, I’m just worried bc I suffer from chronic pain, don’t react to most meds well, and I used cannabis heavily for years to treat my fibromyalgia pain… I’m successfully weaning off the weed but my body pain is astronomical and very distressing in itself… when it’s really bad I go to the ER for ketamine. I’m not sure that’s an option anymore bc of the dissociative quality of the medication. I’m scared bc I’ve already lost so much quality of life. I do just want it to be over (the psychosis).

Thanks for this. I love that you put it, "evaluate how you are based off how functional you are, not based on how much medication you take." I used to think tapering down meds. translated to success and being able to function; (certain antipsychotics and their side effects can make it challenge to function at workplaces), but I wish I saw this earlier before I tapered down because I thought that was the only option for me. It, in addition to some events, led to an extended psychotic episode and multiple hospitalizations last/this year. I am not willing to taper down or quit again, that would be quitting on myself and other people in my life, even people who are very very distant and no longer in my life but still 'interconnected' and affected indirectly/directly. It definitely has consequences to taper off completely and can be incredibly destructive/damaging. The hardest thing for me with certain meds. was the side effects but I think in hindsight, I would've taken the time off and gone on disability leave just to try out different medications, which I'm currently going through. I also really love how you put it, "deconstructing" thoughts and "realizing that some of them aren't true". Sometimes I need a reality check and feel depressive from ruminating over the past but I'm looking forward to trying ACT therapy to be grounded and rooted in the present moment. Thanks!

Thankyou for sharing this . Very helpful information. You sound and look well so your doing something right . ! X

Thank you for this video. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I wish you all the best. ❤

Thanks for this video I had my first episode in November 2018 and I just want to feel back to myself already...I just feel super withdrawn from everyone around me and I am just not the same as I was before. Good to be reassured it can take a substantial amount of time to get feeling right again.

hey man loved your video. Its been 5 months since my psychosis and I've started tapering off my medication (started with 2mg of abilify and now I'm on 1mg). I think meds are important in the early stages, but can have sometimes have bad side effects as well (makes me feel like a zombie occasionally, Anyway, I just wanted to recommend to you marijuana anonymous! The program helps keep me sober and refrain from going back to smoking weed (also the thought of going back into a psychosis makes me also want to stay sober). I think if people can stay sober no matter what, then a lot more people can go off medication in time. thanks again for the video man you've helped me along my whole recovery.

My psychosis was weeeeird. Had a bad LSD trip NYE of 2020. When the pandemic hit i was convinced my soul was stuck in some dark alternative reality. I lost a close family member & felt like the world was punishing me. I still suffer with anxiety and derealization at times, but my best advice is to surrender to the experience. Therapy, meditation, & journaling has helped immensely

You are full of humility, I hope that divine guidance will heal your beautiful mind.

Thanks for this video. Reminds me that it takes time. “Restructuring my world view,” as you put it, is taking a long time. I’m in no hurry to get off medication. I’d rather be safe from another episode. It’s been about a year for me.

Family bringing up and Surroundings of growing up ,School ,also can play a big part in mental ,emotional Trauma , Causing many emotional roller Coaster ups and downs , bringing on much less self esteem . PTSD ADHD . a big mistake being talked in to taking dexamethisone just made every thing much more confusing adding more pain and suffering. Thanks for your video , for it's good to be able to know , some one feeling so alone has a video to back them self up a little,and share it with others who do not understand .

I feel so safe in these comments, I was so scared when I experienced pyschosis. Mines was definitely caused by me trying to be something I wasn’t. I tried becoming a model I wanted to pursue everyone in the room into thinking I’m some beautiful model. By the way I spoke’ and did my features and cat walked. Model life was getting hard it wasn’t my usual diet. I began to think everyone was talking about me as I passed by and even thought my neighbors were watching me from they’re windows. I was also in foster care w terrible people bullying me and picking on me for being plus size. I remember playing back and forth in my mind my childhood/ high school. I could still hear his voice and laugh. I even thought he was in the room I’d get so shy but little did I know I was having a psychotic episode. I didn’t know why I felt the way I did. I was in and out mental hospitals trying to figure out if I was okay. I’d get injected fluids to put me to “sleep” for a day and wake up the next day hungry and confused. Ofc I eventually stopped caring about what people thought of me since I lost touch with reality and didn’t even know where I was located at, these people won’t ever see me again? After a few times of realizing why I was experiencing psychosis I understood that my environment wasn’t healthy. My family was sick and tired of me in and out the hospital and calling them in tears on how girls stole my phone or broke my things. I had no one! All alone at 17 Im at peace and know I went through this for a reason. But real shit: is there a cure? YES. Good medication & better at home environment. Daily agendas. Do things you like. (if you are plant based I get it) your natural and learn herbs and tea can cure but everyone’s body is different. You have to be careful on your beliefs and things you put in ur mind and body. I loved horror movies growing up now, I can’t dare watch any w/o my pyschosis creeping up on me. To this day I get told I look like a model but little do they know that haunts me. I can’t believe I’m sharing this to the internet but I think I people need to feel understood

it took me like 8 months to recover, but 1.5 years to get off depression which came after because of the medicine. I dont know how you survived 4 years, hope youre well now god bless

Recovery: learning self-care and kindness towards oneself is difficult to learn 🇮🇪

According to my research, a strict diet regimen is extremely important. Check out some scientific papers in relation to how a ketogenic diet or being in ketosis can play a role in reversing psychosis. The science is still new but there are many medical professionals recommending this to patients with psychosis already. There are vids on youtube talking about this as well.

Good info. Thanks for sharing your story to help others.

You have so much similar experience like me, it's amazing I've found your channel! I think reaching successful recovery (or at least long term stability), I think we're absolutely qualified to talk about it, even about medication. Lot of psychiatrists (at least in my country) insist with their (false) authority on a particular type, whereas in reality different meds suit different people and doctors should act more like guides in searching for a good meds rather than authoritative prescribers of their favorite brand.. love your inspirational content, thank you!

I had an episode 5 years ago. I’m doing a lot better now basically back to normal. Except I feel more stone-faced & unemotional really, when talking to other people. Its like I dont care to talk to people and struggle with eye contact often now, still have anxiety. Does this ever go away? It is hard to describe but almost like Im dead in the eyes. I can kind of fake a happy convo but after a long convo its like I get tired. But on the bright side I am thankful I recovered to full function other than that, I am able to study in a masters degree right now and have had a few jobs also over the past years and feel stable and somewhat happy now often, hopefully that can motivate others to hear that it is fixable!

Its great your speaking about it it also helps people understand who are support for others and dont understand. I wish I knew it takes years to recover when I needed this info years ago. How hard is it when psychosis happens regularly.

wishin ease along your journey 💫

Thanks 4 sharin ur experience, i’ve recovered 1 year ago but i decided to quit meds cold turkey, it was a bad decision and i suffered alot, now iam on meds again, plan to stick on it for a long period of time.

Hey, thanks for the much needed video. Its been a year since my psychosis and i still have difficulty talking normally or trying to explain my situation to others or focusing on anything for long. I'm hoping its just a matter of time even though sometimes it feels hopeless

I just woke up out of psychosis I felt a shift of energy surge through my body while I was dreaming I woke up singing and i feel this difference within me and my outlook on the world isn’t so warped I feel like I also have control over my thoughts this is absolutely unbelievable because I didn’t even think I was in psychosis I had been using amphetamine in the past and I know things weren’t right but I couldn’t put my finger on it It was like being clouded with this dark energy on me I was also praying to God yesterday because I was in such a dark place

This was helpful to hear. Nice vid

I am about 5 months psychosis free. But I still notice my inner state is kind of unstable. I am more prone to anxiety and all that Jazz. Currently on 300 mg of quetiapine. I had an idea that I want to go off my meds ASAP cause of the side effects (( . Now after watching you I’d probably continue my treatment plan, and thank you! You were really helpful

Almost 3 years. Triggered by 2,5 years heavy IVF hormones. 6 cycles, 1 miscarriage. Had prior mental health issues between 14-28: I almost died. Not leaving my room since months and have no means to contact outside world. Only this feels safe. Diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia. Im 41 and pregnant.

This is hopeful, mines gone on a year now and I've resigned to thinking this will be forever. I'm taking risperidone which helps slightly, but the voices are here everyday regardless. Thanks

Aside from medication and staying connected to my dr and therapist, some things that also helped me was sticking to a simple daily routine and focusing on healthy daily habits like showering, nourishing my body, and physical movement. Staying organized and connected to your daily routine helps me feel stable and “here”. Also CBD oil and staying in touch with the people in my life who make me feel safe and understood. Love you all 💖💖💖

Hey Hayden, thanks for your video. One thing i find similar with all these videos and my own experience has been the use of psychedelics, cannabis in particular. My first psychosis was brought on by cannabis and then the meds the doctors put me on made me feel zombielike all the time and I couldn't stand it so I went off them and after two years travelled to South America to do Ayahuasca. When i got back home I felt great but then the voices came and they weren't negative but I succumbed to trying Cannabis again. Then it got worse. So maybe we both have drug induced bipolar or schizophrenia but its not our state all the time. Meds for now but hopefully not for life.

God bless you! Thank you for sharing

Legend man thanks.

Thank you kind sir.

Very helpful video, thank you :)

Good video, thanks for that!😊 I have psychosis caused by weed, it happened when Covid crisis started. (I believe that situation was not a help on my state of mind) Basicaly I felt my mind and heart destroyed, like my souls flied away, and that kind of stuffs..That was almost 4 years before. Ive never been treated by medicine, felt so numb and bad that can’t even know its a psychosis. And I think it might be schisoprenia as well, but than slowly slowly I got better. Now Im quite good, but I feel I never be the same again. But things are quite normal. Was good to see this video, thanks! 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience. Withdrawal symptoms from pharma meds can be confused for "illness". It's scary that these meds are given without long term studies. How did you get on them anyway?

nice bru! and good job man - getting through what you went through and for this info. what did you do about work? because that can also be terrifying in a way during the recovery process. thanks

This clip has been a Godsend for me. I'm still coming out of a psychosis. My 2nd serious psychosis. Cannabis triggered it (obscene amounts for 11 months), to try and deal with medication resistant (so I don't use medication for it) bipolar type 2- rapid mood cycling, and apparently cptsd as well my local public hospital told me recently) Yeah, it's a lot to take in. I'm still trying to do just that. Thank you for being honest with your journey back from psychosis. I'm obviously am being way too demanding on myself. I'm barely even out of it ffs. Sigh*. Your authenticity shines though in this clip, thank you for sharing yourself for a very raw and noble cause. People need to know the truth; especially people who have their own struggles with psychosis!

i had brutal first incident of bipolar mania with psychosis, it has destroyed my ability to do art (my life passion and career) so i have considered k*lling myself, it is evil, but im still here, hoping i get better.

Good to see I’m not the only one .I had it really bad years ago it doesn’t bother me so much now .I’m still on the medication though it does help,also my fishing hobby helps as well .life does go on

This guy is speaking a lot of wisdom. Psychosis is not like an ear infection, you don’t take medication like an antibiotic. Stay in treatment, find a counselor and work with your doctor. Get a support network. You can’t heal if you keep taking mind altering substances which further complicate your illness. Sorry if that is not what you want to hear, but reality can be difficult. Stay on the right path and work at getting better. What’s the alternative? You just cause yourself more damage. You gain a lot from dealing with difficult problems, and there is often purpose in pain.

Thank you

I had a short psychisis 1.6years ago during my first ayahuasca circle. It took me around 1 year to recover. It takes time indeed. Just trust your mind and body to be able to heal over time.

Thanks a lot for your video.

Very informative 💪🏾

3 years to heal... it takes time, so be gentle with yourself 💜 thank you for the vid, definitely relate. gets easier with time, first year post felt like hell and got ptsd after. things are much better, never needed meds, and finally quit smoking if you are struggling rn, i know things may seem unbearable in the moment. just know it gets better, you are worthy, and you're not alone. had to learn forgiveness, trust, and unconditional love for myself. what a journey, but i wouldn't change it, learned so much. beauty within the pain

Recovering from psychosis rn and I'm taking risperidone also thanks for this video it helped alot. I thought I'd just be normal after leaving the hospital but I've felt off everday but I think I should take my time since I takes so long.

Pretty helpful. Thanks.

It's been about 5-6 years I don't feel any different, medications and all, things just don't feel natural I always get so confused over simple things I'm really really sick of this I hate it I'm 18 I've had medications and worked out heaps kept myself active but never feel any different and I've been open to it but I'm just starting to accept it. for those like me who have lived with this for awhile keep going and don't give up even if things don't change I've noticed it's me who holds me back not the psychosis it plays a significant role hell I can't even really find the confidence to drive as I don't feel comfortable or coordinated on the road or in general but things do change and I have done heaps of drugs and they make me feel better temporarily which would only make it worst once you stop I used to believe in these fairytale like fantasy and all other types of stuff sometimes I have memories but I can't tell if they are dreams or real life honestly the best thing you can do is stay healthy and never give up. Have hope and stay hopeful you got this! :)

Its been about a year since my last minor psychotic episode. Since then, I did a TON of what you called "Restructuring my world view" and "seeing how some spiritual things arent true". Im reading a journal I kept last year and I see how I wrote"11:11 is not a sign, 11:11 is a time. Me being aware of this number is not a sign. This awareness is no different than being aware of numbers on a keyboard, numbers in a journal, numbers on a shirt. There is no pattern. There is numbers 0-9. 10 digits made into any desire pattern. There need be no pattern recognition" From my perspective, this falls right in line with what you said about seeing how certain things arent true. Its my belief that my own personal psychosis stemmed LARGELY (Id say 70%) from false beliefs, but also lack of sleep, lack of food, and weed were other factors. Some things I say are false beliefs are things that are 'mystical' such as: tarot cards occult rituals astrology numerology law of attraction synchronicity anything related to before birth or after death (reincarnation for example) thinking that my first thought about something I dont know about is true Im glad theres another person out there going through this process of distancing themselves from the things that led them to psychosis. Im glad when I see how youre doing very similar things to what Ive done (like journalling and restructuring worldview). I feel even more hopeful that Im on the path that doesnt go down psychosis ever again. And I get a sense of peace when watching your video and writing all this down. I appreciate all this Have you drawn what your psychosis experience felt like?

I’ve had psychosis recently which lasted for two weeks. The scariest experience I’ve ever had. I got out of my main delusion by lifting weights in the gym and am currently in a recovery. I have bpd but unsure now wether I have anything else going on as well. I was told to take 5 mg of aripiprazole for two weeks and then see how the things go. Has anyone taken it? It’s the only medication they prescribed. As for the synchronicities and spiritual background to it, how long does it take to “reprogram” your mind? I’ve indeed become very rational, with a switch, but I notice that the more grounded I get, the more prone I am to believing in the Universe again… Can you get rid of those beliefs fully? And thanks a lot for the video. In my country no one seems to know what psychosis is, now I feel less lonely in all of this…

🙂🌹 Thank you hayden

This really helped me thankyou

Thanks this was very helpful to me , i have been confused , i struggle to talk about my experience , i isolate alot. im reaching out to you for help or support .

I had psychosis, bipolar and I was highly brainwashed by a cult and cults on internet with about the same ideology. It have been really hard to deprogram the delusional thoughta and the thoughts that I gained from the cults all by myself. I took LSD one time and it made me realize that I had delusions and was brainwashed but at the same time it made me even more psychotic so I fought againts the psychosis and brainwashing for 3 years before I surrendered and got medication. Even though I'm medicated I still fight againts those thoughts a little bit because I was so brainwashed and psychotic. I also had and have low selfesteem, social anxiety, depression, bipolar and anxiety at the same time so there is alot that need healing. I have accepted that I will most probably never be complete as a person but I still have hope that i'll be happy one day.

Hi, thank you for posting this. Do you have any suggestions for someone supporting a loved one recovering from psychosis?

It took me 3 years to get out of psychosis. It’s tough but it’s something you can work through and recovering is like starting your whole life over

How long did your episode last? What do you believe cause it? Thank you!

God bless you thanks for sharing yr experience

My wife had a paychotic break recently. Its very difficult for me to understand this illness. She has been at 3 different institutions were they couldnt tolerate her. Its like im with a different person. She is rude to people and does these weird this with her hands when she walks out the shop.saying she getting rid of all the curses. She is saying she has fallen in love with another man and wants a divorce. I dont know if its the paychosis or its her. Its been a hell of a journey.

I’ve had a few episodes with psychosis, I’d say half drug induced, half trauma induced. They started off short and the recovery was short but as I experienced more of them they became more intense and the recovering time went up to a year. The worst was when I kept taking what I thought was acid but ended being a research chemical called n-bome. Caused very negative reaction where I had complete mental breakdown and isolated close to a year afterwards. I had no treatment or medication, I slowly had to work myself down and rebuild my life after that. What helped me the most was being in nature, healthy eating and keeping busy with a few hobbies. Also when you have intrusive or unwanted thoughts/feelings it’s best just to accept them and not stress over them n let them pass on by. ashwagandha is good supplement for stress and mood, little caffeine doesn’t hurt either. Kratom works if you need something more like weed. We live in a sick society, so it’s not abnormal for a human to have a adverse reaction to that.

Thank you for the video. Going through an lsd psychosis

i had a psychotic episode from marijuana and and it was over in 3 hours and then i didn't tale any meds .. i had weirds things happen to me the next few months. will i recover fully without meds ?

Other than meds, what kind of behavioral modifications should a person do? Self love, good self talk, exercise stay busy....what other kinds of behavioral modifications? Thank you and God bless.

Was part of your treatment substance addiction. How intensive was it was it all our patients and how help seeking were you / self aware or were your parents having to force you into help in order to live at home. What limits and boundaries were set to ensure you didn’t relapse to using

Thankyou for this video I appreciate it alot. I had a psychosis about 7 months ago, I am no longer psychotic on medication, however my sleep has been messed up ever since. I cannot sleep without a high dose of olanzapine. Have i permanently altered my brain or does the natural sleep get better?

It’s quite helpful for me!

Hey there, have you tried niacin as a drug replacement? What did you do to heal? Micronutrients? Emotional balance through heart brain coherence? I would appreciate a few answers. I've been taking Abilify myself for 4 years and would rather live drug-free.

i also on process of recovery,im having trouble with sleeping the hallucinations are gone and i hope for fast recovery

Been recovering for a month now, very scared and feel like I can’t articulate what I’m going through with my friends, what was your experience like early on after your first episode when it comes to socialising?
