I got to see something similar from another perspective: my wife went through this three years ago after years of self destructive behavior. She was finally hospitalized the first time in 2022 and it's been an incredibly hard road back every day since, trying to help her live and recover while raising the kids and running a business. There is so little awareness of this illness, and so many people out there all too willing to make it infinitely harder on those struggling. I'd love to hear from your family and their story of what they experienced.
I’m sorry to hear she went through that, I hope she’s recovering well. My mom actually did an interview with me somewhere on this channel about her side of the story. I think it’s called Psychosis from a Caregiver’s Perspective. She is a total sweetheart and I really appreciated hearing her experience.
I’m only halfway through, but how terrifying! I wish more of the general public were aware that people with psychosis are often so scared- our feelings usually don’t factor in
i went through a really messed up situation with the cops as well...accept mine ended in violence from the cops when all i was doing was sitting on a hospital bed crying .....its amazing and terrifying what they can get away with if they think you have a mental illness...better and safer laws need to be put in place
I’m sorry they did that to you, you’re one of the sweetest people & I just can’t stand how they are so quick to become violent. I think you do amazing work for the community, I appreciate you.
I have psychotic depression and what’s been really hard for me is that I do fully know when I’m experiencing psychosis like I have enough insight to know it’s bad but usually am too unwell to properly actually communicate what’s going on or on the flip side I present well enough that my symptoms aren’t believed.
Oh that’s such a tricky double edged sword. I hope you’re doing well now. Having insight into your psychosis just comes with its own set of problems ya know? It doesn’t make it any easier.
For me it took two years until i was diagnosed which means i walked around psychotic for two fucking years. Thanks to my shitty therapist who didn´t. get it even though it was obvious.
I had depression for seven years couldn't get out of bed no energy whatsoever.it evolved into psychosis when I finished college.the psychosis was sudden and severe which resulted in hospitalisation

Yeah, I wish people were aware of that too! It’s like people don’t realize I’m still in there.

I hope you’re doing better! I’m so sorry to hear it got so bad.
I have a family member who is displaying delusional paranoid schizophrenia and is refusing to get help. Me n my family need help. Can you advise me?!
I'm sorry, I really can't offer advice. I'm not qualified in any way to do that but I can absolutely offer you my support and hope for your loved one.
