What is Psychosis? 

I had psychosis. It was after years of continuous weed abuse. I loved getting high. Was always therapeutic and especially helped me through stressful times. However, when the attacks hit, everything went crazy. I started seeing the TV more clearly and I could predict everything that was going on. The conversations seemed to be directed at me even when I changed the video (streaming youtube). Things started becoming too coincidental. Like a car would honk every time I looked at the window. Things could happen as I thought them. I could hear people talking outside and when I went out I found no one. Time was moving too fast and too slow at times. There was a time I thought I was hacked and I broke all my laptops. Another time I thought I was going to be crucified, burned or killed. Another time I thought I had messed with the Illuminati because of my online researches when am high, like checking out the dark net and all that stuff and I thought they were getting to me using demons. It started to creep me out. I thought I could hear demons, even though mostly their speech was in a mixed language I couldn't understand, it overwhelmed my mind because I couldn't make them stop even when I closed my ears. I couldn't control the voice in my head and it started speaking to me in third person. Talking like "You are a disgrace", "What are you doing here", "They dont like you", "End your life". I even started referring to myself as us. I couldn't sleep or eat because of paranoia. Sometimes, I could feel people looking at me. When I walked outside, I felt like they could read my mind and were plotting to eliminate me. I only walked outside to get food. Most of the time I was locked in my house. I didn't trust anyone even family. I could not let anyone in the house until my cousin threatened to break it so I let him in. He took me to a hospital, at this time, I had already accepted death and was willing to undergo anything anyone wanted just to stop this madness. I was treated with Tolanz 10 and Benzhexol among other drugs I didn't note down until things started making sense. At first I thought I had schizophrenia until came across weed induced psychosis. Never touched weed again. Its not worth it. BTW, it felt more spiritual than an illness. Reality was way off and am grateful to be back to normal. There's nothing worse than being on a different reality. My advice, lay off psychosis inducing drugs.

When you have psychosis, you feel everyone is talking about you. And you feel smart you overhear them.

I have psychosis. It's hell. I hear voices and see demons and shadows and I have paranoia and delusions. People don't really understand how hard it is for me. People think I just need to take my meds and that will fix everything but it doesn't.

You know what sucks? Some people are smart and if they don’t like something about you they’ll actually do some of these things in order to gaslight you. Even if you’re not psychotic at all there are people that will try to make you feel like you are.

I don't have psychosis I just occasionally think someone just said my name

1:04 There. Saved you a minute of your life.

My friend has psychosis after years of smoking weed and trauma all of his life.. what triggered the symptom was Mdma.. dont do drugs people not everyone is lucky to be not harmed

I had psychiatric drug induced psychosis (Prozac). I can recall seeing animals and flowers as well as believing there were masked men robbing the house (which didn’t phase me at all). I was hearing things too, whispering etc. But the worst moment of all which I can remember vividly was staring at my shadow and it waving back which is just as scary as it sounds. Horrible.

For a long time I thought I was staring in a kind of Trueman show role. That the whole world knew who I was and was hiding it from me. And it wasn't in a 'oh I'm famous, great' way. I shut myself inside and didn't go out. I still do that but I'm slowly realising that no one's watching me.

Man, I had psychosis for about 2yrs. I heard voices that claimed to be god, Jesus, and other biblical entities telling me I’d be a werewolf mixed with a couple other beings and my first change would me soon. The day came, nothing. I heard them say I’d receive gifts when I woke up certain mornings. I’d wake up, the gifts would be there. I’d try to grab them and they’d zoom away as if they were attached to some invisible cord like the prank people do with dollars and stuff. It even started happening with people. I’d get home from school and my family would greet me like they normally do. Even give me hugs and make physical contact. I’d go into the kitchen for a snack, walk back into the living room, they’d all be gone. Cars gone and everything. That was from 2014 to 2016. The visual hallucinations didn’t start until early 2016. In June of 2016 I finally got a grip on reality again and just like that, it all stopped. And I could finally sleep with a smile on my face.

Hello person reading through these comments. I am a person who has had psychosis sines I was 13, I’m still trying to get over it, and if you have it to, I wish you luck.

I used to sneak out of my house to smoke pot. Everything was fine and dandy until I had to sneak back in. I was stoned out of my mind from hot boxing my friend's car. My step-father was sleeping on the couch, and me being in the state I was; I thought that was it for me. I had STRONG fears of being caught with him waking up. My anxiety was through the roof. I swear I could hear my parents coming up the stairs when they didn't. Psychosis is not a fun feeling. You feel as if you are in danger of something. It's not like something random either. My head would make up actual logic and connect dots that wasn't there. So it is not something you can just shrug off. Yes, you can tell yourself to calm down. Yet in the state of mind of creating logic of yourself being in danger... It's extremely hard with even the highest of will-power.

I have horrible psychosis. I tried therapy. I was not helped early. It started when I was 14. I'm 23 now... sometimes I just don't want to be here.

Once i was at a meeting with my mom, i had a bad energy from one of the staff so i kept an eye on him, then i couldhave sworn he walked up behind me to another person and whispered "i think the little one there knows whats up".... scared me shitless and i still dont know if it was real or not, its been a year

I had a pretty bad case of this for about a year +. I didn't show up for my last shift at work. I went for a drive and thought this truck from my work was following me and I drove for miles trying to evade it until I finally pulled off in to the grass and pulled a U-turn. When I finally went home from my friends house that night I passed about 6 cars in my neighborhood. I thought every car was my coworkers spying on me to prove I wasn't sick. I won't get in to why it happened but it was awful and I would never wish that on anyone. It took about a year and a half of therapy but I made it out. Went back to school, got a sweet job and everything turned out great.

This video puts it well. Plus, there's a great book on psychosis and schizophrenia called "Rethinking Madness". I believe that medication is there to mask the symptoms temporarily, but it's 100% curable as long as the person quits drugs and/or alcohol, and finds ways to deal with stress and anxiety in a healthy way.

One time I was awake for 2 days on meth and that night I was smoking a cigarette on a little brick wall looking into the pitch black desert. All of the sudden I heard commotion and saw a few people in the distance, all I heard was "why'd you shoot him oh my god! Why'd you shoot him" at that point I knew what was happening in my head and I was like NOPE, turned around went inside and ignored it lol. One of many situations I had with psychosis, I'm a little over a year sober from meth. Don't ever touch that shit, it will ruin your life and lure you in. Even after a year away from it it's incredibly difficult to be happy and to forgive myself for what happened. Stay away it is not a hell I want anyone else to go through.

I think i had psycosis once when i smoked weed

Im in psychosis 95% of the time. Both awake and asleep

Isnt Psychosis a symptom of Trauma?

I used to always hear voices and sounds in my room. One time my desk shook and my football medals were clanging. I tried to tell my parents but they did not believe me. For a year I thought someone was living in my room and would sleep with the door open just in case.

Smoking weed makes me psychotic as hell. Everyone's watching me and talking about me. Then I start having bad anxiety and I feel like they feed off each other. Traded in the regular old weed for some cbd nugs and oil today so I'll see if it helps. It's sad to say, but some people (me being one of them) we just aren't meant to enduldge in thc. Crazy how after years of smoking it and no negative effect, it starts making you crazy.

I saw a little girl in a red hooded rain jacket about 4 foot tall run across the highway right in front of my car in the middle of the night. I slammed the brakes and swirved over into the passing lanes to avoid her. When i looked in the rearview mirror there was nothing there. I dont drive at night anymore because of it

I have psychosis I sometimes hear someone calling me by my name and I see shadow figures

I always get this after I've been on the ice (meth) I always think everyone is talking about me that I'm such a meth head and I always think people are looking at me, what makes it go away is when I go back to work and stay off the drugs, you really need to start to get back on with your normal life if you want this to go away after a drug bender, also eat lots of healthy food.

I experience this when I smoke too much weed

I don't know if I have it, I hear people whisper my name a lot and I see shadows. I'm scared to think because I feel like someone is constantly reading my mind. Since a few weeks, I feel like I am getting followed or people are staring at me, I'm also really interested in scary things lately and some site said that is also a thing that comes with psychosis.

i got it when i took LSD a few weeks ago. every time i left the room , I perceived the sounds i was hearing as them talking shit about me when in reality it was just the music / south park

Oof I see things in the corner of my eye or when i pass things by like i see a short haired black cat, a male shadowy dark figure at my dad's computor, and will sometimes just see a white male hooded figure run by windows and bugs running and all that. I hear my dad call my name when he sure as hell isnt along with fluttering of butterfly wings when im in my room with no animals or bugs and thudding and breathing behind my walls at night. I have people in my head that i accepted and i have named them and figured them out individually to give myself some comfort and order (There is James, Conny, and Wyle, James helps calm me down and he is logical and aware, Conny is my subconcious and she is like my intrusive thoughts but if she gets any control i end up loosing my care for any person's feelings and i will be rude to them and i lose any sense of hurt when someone tries to attack me and i will in return with the person's most sensitiven and traumatic memory and shove it in their face with a smile and make them feel horrid and just laugh about it,in all Conny is one i do not consider human and she will mentally break anyone no matter how important they are to me. Now Wyle is the child side and they are easily identified because they say Hi on repeat and they stutter and will twitch their head to the right and they also stop talking in the middle of things but they are the kindest sweetest child with the most emotion and they remember bad parts of my life and it takes me getting some control of myself again to put a mask or hat over my head to make a small space then just comforting them better then ill usually go under my bed because its where they feel the safest.) Also i have a problem with delusions of Being a video camera that alters the image of it when seeing images or reflections of myself but it broadcasts my mind and life on a movie theater screen somewhere for every one to see, along with my phone camera being on recording and showing moments no one but myself should see to people i meet and are in contact with even if any app that it could show it on had its camera turned off. And just I already have all the lists of every symptom and i match up to most or all of them And i believe its my Adhd Stimulant (Methylphenidate CD)but i also have had a time not long ago when i didnt take it for a while and i was so alone and became more paranoid without the others in my head to distract or reassure me so i would rather be diagnosed with it but not get rid of it mostly cause i started it at age 5 and im a month and a day away from being 16

I think I have it, my thoughts get mixed or sometimes I don’t believe in views my mind just thinks their green screens, it’s like my mind has a mind of its own

I was partying for a week and after that i was having psychotic episodes that mafia Is gonna kill me, it was so real, thanks got next day i was fine lol

I had this when I was smoking meth

Psychosis, well for me also includes smell, taste, a sense of time and pain.

I hear my name being called by my mom and I go to her and she says she didn’t say anything.

Thank you for the video,it was really useful.

my friend went into it after tripping acid for 30 days straight on 4 tabs a day.

I suffer this many times omg just watch whole vid when i was little i saw on my tv a red stick figure and i cant remember what it said but it was bleeding and when that day it happen is when psychosis happened i remember playing outside at 8 pm in the ally seeing figures,being watch its creepy and it still happens its been 4 years i think

Can someone help me? Every so often I suddenly get these voices that begin to attack me; telling me that "I NEED to hurt myself" etc but I know it's not me, it's male voice and a younger woman. But I'm aware of it and it goes on intensely for (only about) an hour! But because I'm aware of it I don't know what it is! It affects me so much and happens in the middle of exams and I start breaking down and it looks like the walls go wavy and I can't work out what it it is! I don't know how long I can cope with it... So if someone has any idea of what it could be or offer any advice please tell me... I'm so desperate ❤

I do overnight work and go to bed around 7 to 9am most days. Works been stressing me out alot and I keep feeling like im in pure danger as I put myself into bed. I hear the noise of my city getting up in the morning (car sounds planes going over ect) and for some reason I picture nuclear strikes on my home town and sometimes feel like I can hear my towns air rade siren go off. I go to check flight radar app and just confirm to myself that im fine. I dont know why my brain would make myself believe such things. It really does frighten the life out of me. I dont see anything visual, just audio. No whispers or anything like that. Maybe I smoke too much Anything similar anyone?

Its all reaction to suppress trauma.

Had something like this when i was little idk if it goes away or something so i just ignored it bkuz its scary when your young

I cant believe how modern human has forgotten its spirituality. Its sad

This is scary

My sister has this disorder unfortunately

my son has this , who is 8 years old , he always points his fingers at the sky and says they are coming again , he meant gray aliens are always coming to him when he sleeps , i never understood what it was that he had until he showed me an injury , from those abduction , i brought him to the doctor , and the doctor diagnosed him and said he has psychosis , but what if those abduction are real ,and not illusion , me and my wife cry at times because we dont know what it is , he always writes the experience in his papers and said that those aliens came from a star , thats billion years away from earth , he said they took me to their world , he also said that those aliens were scientist and visit other planets and work with other scientist telepathically , he said they are not like us or animals , they are something else , the place that they live , looks like a world that you see in Cyberpunk 2077 and he said dad they smell very bad , please pray for my son ,

thats why if I notice some shit like that I dont say shit unless something actually starts to pop... haha

so it's basically gaslighting minus the crazy person, how and why do you get personal gaslighting?

This is so simplified that it's not even correct for the most part. Everyone percieves reality differently, and you can't make an objective assessment that someone having a spiritual experience, or just being different, is psychotic. It's a subjective assessment from the subjective perspective of the individual psychiatrist. Before making a video like this, it would be beneficial to look into the definition of psychotic, as it's the only word defined at all in the entirety of psychiatry, seeing as you're looking for 'scientific' explanation of what a psychosis is. Furthermore, psychiatry is entirely hypothetical, and has no connection to objective reality. It's got as much base in objective reality as any religion or cult, seeing as you can't really define or explain mental illness, since it's not an objective thing you can put under a microscope, but an idea that something is mechanlically dysfunctional somewhere in the psyche of a person. Psyche means the non-physical aspect of a person, like the mind, or the soul. And going about investigating the soul under a scientific pretense, is pseudo-scientific, essentially psychotic bullshit. Clairvoyance and other kinds of magical spirit-work is no less objective than the guy sitting in a chair prescribing you mind-numbing drugs for your hallucinations and negative emotion, which could just as easily stem from a dysfunction life, causing mental imbalance, which he'd have no education at all to understand. Psychotic: Not being able to distinguish between subjective and objective reality. Not even the smartest people alive are perfect at seperating emotions and intellectual bias from data and percieved reality, so it's hard to say if anyone isn't psychotic, with such a vague definition.

If you not getting psychosis when u smoking weed wyd 😂🤝

I did cocain once when I was 15 and since then I see colours almost like when you stare at a light and look away and see a pink circle.. Now I look at anything and see the out line of the object in a color for a split second and my vision is all messed up almost like a television screen in the dark.. And I have a lot of floaters in my vision.. Which is weird because floaters only come with age

This is why I don't do drugs

I think I have this shit cos a few months back i thought I had sun powers and I was literally shaking so much this lasted for a couple weeks before I went to hospital and shit and I still feel it sometimes now

Basically stuck in neutral with psychosis!

You dont need recovery if you just feel great IMO.

I have this.

What if they really are receiving info from the tv of personal targeting?

The voices in my head said I have psychosis I told them no I don't but they just keep telling me I do

wait?,I have low level phycosis?

The only time I experienced psychosis was when i ate an 8th bag of shrooms years ago. If I end up developing it later in life then the medical professionals can kiss my ass because I wont take their drugs either.

Suffering from psychosis it is big problem

Can someone pls help me out. I really am panicking. I keep imagining life after death and I get really strong thoughts from it. When the thought comes into my head I can’t get rid of it and I panic(not a panic attack). After about 20 seconds of seeing stuff beyond imaginable I feel dizzy and scared. I also think I have some kind of power, etc controlling water and imagining what I would do if I could and I was god. When I walked out of Walmart I randomly said, I’m a Demi God. I know it seems (psycho) but any help would do thx.

Four the past 2 days I have seen cuts openening up on my arms and there not there I've seen shadow people come right up to my shoulder and right when I see them they disapear

I like this video 😢💖

wow i feel like this video was in my recommended for me how ironic

I had psychosis when i was 13

I’ve had psychosis my whole life yo

This is me everyday

This is what I have all sudden I felt weird and different and look things different and today I saw smth twice and I got up and just played games and yes my thoughts are all mixed up and so w.e

My friend got psychosis from weed and she has been in mental hospital over a year now. And that's why I am worried about weed legalization...

i hear only voices and feel like im being watched and cant cobcentate as well

I knew the shadow people were real!

I have anxiety. What's the difference?

I wonder what Terence mckenna would had to say about it😂

intresting

You mean to tell me children are experiencing psychosis because they feel like a superhero?

Every other person in this world is super-duper nice and would never cause you any harm. If you feel that someone is treating you unfair or if there is something you don't understand then I'm sorry but it means you are completly insane and you are only imagining these things.

If you're hearing voices or seeing things other people don't see/hear, please know you are not crazy. You're actually discerning something spiritual! Like there are angels, there are also demons, and they don't like you, they will do anything to steal kill and destroy your life. Understanding this will totally help you have grace for yourself and understand where to look for answers. I suggest you start with Jesus :). Bless you!! 🙌❤️

Is anxiety and psychosis related?

Anybody who thinks these information of psychosis is the ones that psychosis because they dont realize when or how did they get psychosis cuz their paranoid

Jesus can cure Schizophrenia Just open your heart to him and he’ll take away the bad and only leave the good

omg i relate so hard wtf
