- Psychosis is much more involved than just the symptoms of hallucinations and delusions. There are three phases of the entire experience which all look a lot different from each other. Here are some insights to those phases.
“A sane person to an insane society must appear insane”
--Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Also, in the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley!
1st stage : You see a cat.
2ng stage : You talk to the cat.
3rd stage : The cat is talking to you.
Oh my god this is the cleanest description ever! I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Can this be cured ? My lil 8 yr old girl is having this 😢
I had severe psychosis for seven years before we found a med that pulled me out of it. It was pure torture to go through. I'm so scared of ending up psychotic again
I’m so glad you came out of it! Going psychotic again is my biggest fear.
What med?
@@melissagrimstead7324 It was Invega injections. I was on abilify before that but it didn't work for me.
There isnt one because its FAKE and theyre full of crap and gangstalkers.@melissagrimstead7324
Same here,took seven years too
I'm autistic. Life is very hard for me. I've experienced social withdrawal and psychosis. Depression as low as it gets. I was paper thin. It was related to anxiety related to undiagnosed level 1 autism. Turns out the world was much more dangerous to me and my extreme sensory and cognitive profiles.
What is real anyway?
There's no way to know the consciousness of another or their experience of the world. Reality is a judgement call our minds make in an attempt to keep us alive so we can reproduce. Our senses form the basis of how we perceive and construct reality. Mobs form around shared realities and seek power and dominace through groups and tribes.
Autistic people dont understand the hidden language and lies and deciet that govern group politics. So we're cast out of it.
Thank god for autistic psychosis. Someone has to call bullsh*t on consensus reality now and then, or we get mob rule. ;-)
I am on the spectrum as well.

I have schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. I relate to your content so much. Definitely makes me feel less alone in my disorder.
I have the same diagnosis. I just found this channel. You are not alone. I feel cut off too. I’m in a recovery phase and I’m finding as I have more good days, there’s the question of what do i do with my life now. It’s very confusing and a big question to answer.
Thanks for making this video. I experienced my first episode of psychosis this time last year out of nowhere. Spent 3 weeks in the psych hospital which was terrifying. Lots of bad stuff but also some fun moments like believing I was chosen as the alien queen (😂)
I wish there was more info out there so it’s great that you’ve made this video. Thanks from the UK
You know what, it is so refreshing to hear someone say there were fun moments. I need to be reminded of that. When I thought I was Satan’s mistress I felt like a bad ass.
TBI pyschosis survivor here.... Even through its been 10 since it(tbi) happened(9 years since the P..break).. Its taken this long to find out That thats what even happened. Thank you for pointing this out!! And thank you for sharing!
After a bad argument with my dad I lost my ability to speak- I could only scream. Also, no energy at all-i would try to say something and… blood curdling scream would come out. - I managed to call a friend and slowly came out of it. Scary AF! I didn’t know there was a word for psychologically not being able to speak.
Oh yeah it’s definitely a thing! And I think it makes sense that something that stressful would result in losing your ability to talk. Brains are so wild, I feel like anything is possible that way.
I've only been through drug induced psychosis & also substance withdrawal psychosis. Benzo withdrawal & stimulate psychosis were the worst!!! My brain has been permanently changed but luckily an anxiety disorder is all that was permanent & I'm learning how to live life functionally & happy.
Oh gosh I’ve heard the worst things about benzo withdrawals. I’m so glad you got through that! I hope your anxiety is doing well. Substance induced psychosis is no joke.
I relate. This has been a permanent change...PTSD significantly worsened.
I had medication induced psychosis. This included olfactory hallucinations. I rarely read about that in the literature. That includes responses by medical professionals. Good to see it mentioned here.
Medication, i.e. neurotoxic drugs - dope-up cathexis and cause Disassociation, keeping people dysfunctional and corrals them as cash cows for the psychiatric - pharmaceutical co-franchise! Isn't the financialized Coverage then traded on the international markets?
I had this to from serqual 7 years hallucinating,surprise surprise when i took myself off it they stopped. Now i live with the cognative issues and depression on my own.
@@ijustagirl74 When I read things written by professionals about the causes of psychoses I NEVER see medication included. I often get "the look" when I mention the cause of my psychosis to new medical providers, etc. Of course, they eventually get my medical records and see for themselves. It has now been four years since this happened. I am permanently changed from the experience.

Thank you for sharing your recovery story so openly. I could see this video reducing stigma for people with psychosis. It was vary helpful to hear your perspective.
Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it! I’m glad it was helpful.
Blue, like you, continues to parlay disease-like Labels, etc.!@@psychotic.in.seattle
My son has Bi-polar 1, but will only take Lithium which helps his severe Mania and agitation and sometimes rage. He has had delusions now for over 3 months. He denies he has Bi-olar 1, but Im thankful he at least takes the Lithium. Im praying he gets over the delusions. He cant even work like he is now 😢
Good luck to him, I hope he can get past it. I was the same way for a long time. It takes a lot of patience and strength to be in your position and I just want you to know how appreciated you are.
I've gone through extreme Psychosis before, fairly recently I'd say as this was just a couple months ago, when I was finally back to being "normal" 3 whole days have passed and I had no clue I thought it was just a few hours I was in the hospital for that long & didn't even know how I got there
I’m glad you’re back from it! That’s so wild how you lost track of time like that. It happened to me too, like I just had no concept of time anymore. I hope you never have to go through that again.
Thanks so much for this. 🙏
Our 24yo son is 1 week post psychotic episode. Just got him back from hospital. Feeling pretty helpless and guilty as parents at the moment, but your video is extremely helpful. He / we have a long road ahead.
Thanks again from Brisbane, Australia.
Good luck to your son, and to your family. I am so glad he has your support. He’s really lucky to have you.
That is absolutely amazing talk.think about given talk to researches and medical undergraduate students. 😊All the best .
Thank you so much for this relatable and insightful video. Your ability to communicate is excellent.
Thank you for sharing this so clearly - I hope many will see it and learn about themselves and hopefully benefit.
Love this 🌹thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you well explained 🇮🇪I wish you the best
I have bpd and ptsd, and I go in and out of this for weeks at a time, I didn’t even know the phases but it makes so much sense
Thank you so much for the informative vid, regarding psychosis. Listening to your experience has helped me, and I now understand what's happening to me. Sending ❤ to you x
Thank you for sharing your experiences!!! This really resonated with me. Still unpacking from the experience myself 💕💕💕
Welcome back from psychosis! I hope you’re recovering well.
Very good description about this fear-driven Disconnection!
You're welcome Carolynn!
Thank you for all the info 💯
I am learning so much from your videos. Your explanation of delusions and hallucinations was especially helpful, as well as the timelines you described in your recovery process.
Thank you! I put a lot of thought into how to verbalize these things, I appreciate it.
I am going to watch this, on my tiny channel with commentary to discuss my symptoms (looks like first phase one but for two decades while I have been to articulate the decline to doctors and loved ones). I have language and social aspects and look like I have delusions of grandeur.
Thank you for sharing your personal story and including all of the information to be able to recognize the three different phases
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge on this subject.
Thank you Carolynn for being so honest about your experiences. You’ve been through a lot and you’re a brave Angel for describing this. My son is withdrawn from society, his sleep patterns are non existent, no looking at texts ,emails. He has paranoia, OCD regarding health but doesn’t accept that he can get help. As far as he’s concerned, The problem is how other people are with him , they laugh at him, but he does not need any counselling or medication for this. I am hoping there is a miracle and he has some realisation that he needs mental help.
I hope so too, I really hope he accepts the help. I was very resistant too but eventually I got there and I like to think he will as well.
Thankyou ♥️ for helping me understand what my son is going through.❤
Now to get him to understand 😢
I hope he’ll be ok. ❤️ I’m glad you’re doing your best to understand him more.
I have bipolar and ocd thanks for this video!!!
Thank you for this information. I'm trying to learn all I can about Psychosis, in particular drug and alcohol induced Psychosis. As my sister is currently going through her second episode.
Aw I’m sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to go through, both as the person experiencing it and the family. She’s very lucky to have your support.
See if there are happy clapping and stomping classes, where people start laughing. Happiness + physiology are here being triggered together - which the subconscious mind takes literally. After many classes, along with singing in a Glee Club - your sister will probably begin to develop a mental + emotional cathexis, which is what Mental Health is!
Thank you so much!!
Cheers to you 🔥
After experiencing the loss / negative effects and eventually coming out the other side, is it normal for functioning to return? I think ive been going through periods of light psychosis where the negative symptoms first kick in and I become isolated, and then my thinking becomes skewed. I always come out of it, but my baseline enjoyment, affect, social abilities are all lower than when I was in my late teens / very early 20s. I know what depression feels like and im not depressed, its like a part of me isnt there that should be.
The isolation period usually last 2-6 weeks and my thinking isnt great. It's like I lose part of my identity and my world becomes entirely individualistic and social connection is a distant and abstract notion. My last major one was may 2022 which lasted over a month, and recovery took until early the next year. Was really tough, but I did get back to a good headspace
I had visual hallucinations with semi-transparent intricate geometry, everything spinning very fast, could breathe them out of my mouth in a specific state. Then the thoughts told me to go somewhere and to sit in the specific place. It was very noisy, there was a construction site nearby, and I was hearing latin religious-like chores (I am agnostic) from above superimposed on the construction noises (functional hallucinations). Then I heard a guy from above telling that he was not guilty and some other guys were accusing him. I was thinking about going and kicking their asses so they wouldn't kill him, but the sounds were from somewhere above the ground, so I thought there was no use in going. They were repeating the same thing again and again. I also knew that these were all misperceptions all the time, but they were the most realistic things I ever heard, so crisp. I still can see geometry on the background and sometimes chores superimposed on some consensus reality sounds, and visual snow, but I concentrate on consensus reality for now. I had sleep deprivation then, I think this triggered the experience.
Wow, you are incredible at describing those experiences! I’m so glad you recovered from that, I hope it never happens again
@@psychotic.in.seattle thanks🤗 I wish you only positive experiences too.
I knew someone like that,she was told not to drive anymore by a physiatrist because her concentration had totally gone,but she is still driving.
If she has a serious accident she will go to jail,but she would not listen.
She was very very unhygienic it's so so sad to see.
I actually did wake up one day psychotic it lasted 9 years and then stopped as suddenly as it started. There were periods of downtime occasionally but it wasn’t a bad experience. I do now have a diagnosis of autism and it is believed that this what caused the psychosis. Since it stopped over a year ago there has been no indications of it returning.
Wow! That is so fascinating, I’ve never heard of anything like that. But there definitely is a link between psychosis & autism so I see what you mean.
I’ve watched my 26 yo son go through all the stages. This video was so helpful! I now know what to look for BEFORE he goes into psychosis again.
I have a question, I believe my son is now coming out of a psychotic episode that lasted almost a year. I’m wondering if he is still having the delusions that he has 2 neuralinks in his brain. He believes that his father (who passed away when he was 10,) did a surgery on him when he was a baby and put the neuralinks in. Do you think I should ask him if he still believes he has the neuralink? Or if he remembers talking to Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Obama through his neural ink?
Or should I just leave it alone?
Hmm I don’t know if I’m the best person to ask, but if I was in his shoes I wouldn’t want to be asked because that could strengthen it and make it harder to come out of. Also, this is just me personally, I don’t like being reminded of things like that. It’s weird to hear what I was like in a time when I wasn’t myself.
How could you ever be 100% sure?
I love your content as I have mental illness
You're amazing, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. My adult son is currently hospitalized after suffering 3 psychotic episodes in just over 3 weeks. Can you please share what being involuntarily hospitalized is like, since due to HIPPA, no one at the hospital will tell us anything?
Yes, it is a bit hazy because of the state I was in but essentially they wouldn’t give my family any information either (I really wish that hadn’t happened). I was given the choice to give them information & I chose not to but I was too unwell to know better. I did have to be court approved to be discharged and went before a judge that they brought into the hospital a few times before I could be discharged. I’m not sure if that’s the same everywhere but that was my experience.
The hallucinations are the worst. Is there medication out there to stop it?
I was in phycosis for a year it was terrible the auditory persecutory halucinations were so bad 6 different voices constantly from the time I woke up till I fell asleep it was hard to stay focused or calm constantly in fear of the strangers around me thinking they were a part of the whole scenario barely eating thinking nearly everything was poisoned and even my family was in on things it was hurtful because i thought for a long time they must have been replaced because my family wouldn't do that but it was extram halucinations it unfortunately was a medical medication mistake from a dr and not checking for any thyroid condition before antipsychotics witch i didn't need anyway because it made it worse and only exsasorbated my thyroid condition sending me into a much bigger phycosis 😬 luckily im back home and my last halucination was last march i believe still it scares me and my ths(thyroid hormone) lvls are still too high.
Wow, that does sound really scary! I’m so glad you came out of it, I hope it never happens again. I’ve actually heard of the thyroid being related before and I’m sorry no one caught that or realized they were related.
I had psycosis i thought the whole world was on cocaine and i was a Sage It true when you come out of it I laid flat for nine months i couldn't get up Now I black out p once a year I feel i lose brain function after it happens but my subconscious is speaking when i blackout end up in mental ward when i wake up iam on SSI because of it
Being corralled as a cash cow!@@sarabrockett6202
A weird thing happened to me in one of my worse depression. I was convince dsomeone with ill intentions was watching me sleeping. Funny thing is I knew it wasn't real, funnier thing is I couldn't help myself but to beleive it. I pushed my bed againt the wall so I could sleep my back againt the wall, opened the blind and slept with a night light...
Hi! Wouldn't you say there's actually a sixth category of hallucination, like when you feel your body changing shape or you feel yourself moving or flying even when you're not moving, or feel thoughts enter your head from outside or the thoughts move in your head from one side to the other or crash like waves? I suppose very generally you could call most of these "somatic" experiences as most of them relate to the body in space, but they're as different from ordinary "tactile" sensations (you could argue) as taste is from smell...
Yeah, my first thought goes to somatic, which is a tricky one because somatic delusions sort of blur the line between delusions and hallucinations. Like, the delusion of bugs crawling under your skin. It’s a delusion but you can still feel it. I’ve had that with cotard’s delusion - I could feel my leg wasn’t “attached” to me even though it was there. I could feel exactly where it stopped being alive. Definitely a freaky feeling! I’m not sure if that helps, but that’s just my two cents about it.
@@psychotic.in.seattle I remember being depressed having this horrible persistent idea that I could not die. No matter what happened to me I would live on and I could not die. This horrible idea tormented me even to the extent that if someone chopped my head off I would live on headless, cold and thirsty and in pain and totally helpless. Knowing what was going on around me but totally powerless to change anything. Not fun.
@@ZadenZane no fun indeed! I’m sorry you had that. It’s so hard to come back from experiences like that. I hope you’re doing better now.
Heyy thank you for your explanation i really need to hear this. Can you tell me what have u practise or done in order to feel better when you started to talk and think better .. did you do any therapy?
Yes, therapy has been a huge help! And also socialization. My friends and family played a big role in helping me recover just by talking to me and being with me.
@@psychotic.in.seattle im not lucky as you but I got some friend who re supporting me.. i ve trouble in reading books and I want to just feel better in order to go back to university. Hope it doesnt take long time ! My therapist said it takes about one year pretty much. Hope is less
Thanks for your reply
Fake friends!! Lol Seeing shadow people in your regular wake state is one thing, yet seeing them in the “between” is quite a different thing.Great Video though!
How to help someone currently in psychosis 7 days, preferably without psych meds?
I actually like some visual hallucinations: I close my eyes and get ideas from visions for drawing. But other hallucinations make me feel sadness. If I lie down for awhile I can hear a loud rap on my front door and there's no one there.
I honestly don’t have as many hallucinations as delusions, but I do get one similar to yours which is just a doorbell ringing.
We must all be Crazy!!
I can go into psychosis and back out again. I've only just found the cause. For me, it's nicotine. It works on the chems in the brain that induce thinking, causing me extreme anxiety. The results together after the over thinking is either the passages of the downwards spiral, which is my trauma, or the fact that psychs were overdosing me on antipsychotics for years.
I know someone who seems to be experiencing a Psychosis. It has been 3 years. I don't think the person is aware they are going through this. I personally thought it was a "phase". The person's loved ones are at the brink of calling the authorities to take them to a medical facility. I have reservations about what the family is thinking of doing. I am wondering a person who is going through a psychosis and is not aware will see the light if evidence is presented to them so they can seek help themselves. i am conflicted.
Does the prodromal phase show in bipolar 1 as well?
I’m not sure, although I have schizoaffective disorder my bipolar episodes don’t tend to happen until I’m psychotic. I honestly don’t know very much about bipolar 1.
I've done enough hallucinogens to navigate hallucinations, but i know that they're coming and i know consciously "hey, it's just the acid, relax"
You really do sound like a lot of fun.. I dont have DpD, but I do have an open dialogue with my unconscious.
@@Thilosophocl3s thanks! I try to make it a fun topic. I haven’t had much success knowing hallucinations aren’t real but that sounds so helpful to be able to tell yourself they’re coming on.
@@psychotic.in.seattle I swear I had written another paragraph in here somewhere that was actually thanking you for being brave and for sharing, and for educating me. Those three signs I know very well, but I'm pretty sure the implications are different for my friend who's exhibiting them. Well those, and some cognitive projection, and denial, etc.
@@Thilosophocl3s oh I see! Well I’m glad to educate. I hope your friend is doing ok. My heart goes out to you both. ❤️
Can you talk about which medication helped your delusions.
I’m going to be doing a video about that this upcoming week! I’ll be sure to mention that.
I’m currently 22 and I wonder if I experienced a form of psychosis as a child. I started to hallucinate at the age of 12 (faces, mainly eyes only, staring at me from tight/ closed spaces, like cracks in doors/doorknob holes) and by the time I was 13 I had delusions that were in the conspiratorial category (along with the previously mentioned visual hallucinations), and I had that through a lot of high school. At 14 I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and severe depression after a self-harm incident (I had also previously attempted s**cide about half a year before). I no longer believe in those conspiracy theories or that powerful figures are targeting me, and I don’t feel like harming myself and haven’t for a long time, but I do struggle with disembodied eyes. Eyes seem to sometimes trigger that paranoid feeling in me that I recognize from my younger age. And if I watch conspiratorial-related videos that I used to watch when I was younger, I start to feel anxious. Some sounds can even trigger my paranoia. Back-masking of songs/voices can trigger my paranoia. I’m aware that they’re all delusions but I can’t seem to shake the way they make me feel. For the past few years, I’ve felt like a normal person again, and that I outgrew the problem that I had. But here lately, my life has been a very stressful one, and I’ve noticed these symptoms rear their head once again after so long. Not as intense as they once were, but enough to make me feel like there is something off.
I often struggle with delusions in my relationship as well. I tend to have frequent moments where I feel like I’ve destroyed my partner’s perception of me, and that they don’t love me anymore. Or that they secretly can’t stand me and feel like they are stuck with me. They calm me down and reassure me, but it seems to happen over and over, and it feels like I lose control in those moments. It’s like I tell myself that this is a delusion but I can’t stop.
I was never diagnosed with psychosis, only anxiety disorder and depression, but I’m wondering who I should go to in order to talk about these things. Is there a specific type of psych doctor? Is it specialized? How do I convey these concerns without them misdirecting me or misunderstanding me?
I think any of those things are great to bring up with a doctor, and typically any kind of psych nurse/counselor/therapist etc. would be a good person to go to.
Fun should take up the aesthetic Talent Training of Peter Breggin, Madan Katara or Howard Glasser!@@psychotic.in.seattle
I thought a man's dog was Jesus Christ at the bus station.
I'm not psychotic but was treated with antipsychotic drugs until I now have irreversible side effects
How and where u get help for any of these symptoms
For me, I was hospitalized but it doesn’t have to go that far for a lot of people. If you have a primary doctor you can get a referral to see a counselor or prescriber of some kind to get you into therapy and medication. I’m not sure how it works outside of America though, so if you’re elsewhere I would say just talk to whatever doctor is available to you to get the ball rolling.
Can someone please help. I have been diagnosed with psychosis and depression 3 years ago I am on some meds that are ok but my question is.
Is psychosis a Symptom or an Illness? Because I need to know if I am being lied to. Much love from Britain 🇬🇧
Psychosis is a symptom, although with schizophrenia it is pretty much the main symptom which I think is where the confusion comes from. Basically psychosis can be a symptom of lots of different causes like stress, sleep deprivation, substances, childbirth, traumatic brain injuries, etc. Like if substance use disorder is the condition, psychosis would be a symptom (or consequence) of that condition. I hope that helps & I hope you’re doing better.
@@psychotic.in.seattle thank you very much this is great information. Stay well and stay safe. ❤️
The main cause is bad behaviour of mother father siblings. Stress trauma
Can you get psychosis and become delusional from continuous gaming for several years?
Hmm not sure about that specifically, but if it goes along with stress and/or sleep deprivation I could definitely see that being a possibility!
Thank you Carolynn ❤@@psychotic.in.seattle

The words :"faith-based" is a common, yet unfortunate phrase. Perhaps 'belief oriented' religious imagery or narratives makes more sense. Faith is a spiritual empowerment -- on 'seeing things as they are' as an immediate rapport with Life. Radical 'self-acceptance' suggests a trust in 'not knowing' yet relying on the broad pervasive sense of peace. Nice job lady.I hope your accurate road signs point others to also live in the authentic moment.
the unfortunate world of mental instability....with little education
Not sure what you mean by little education? Everything in this video is fact checked and taken from reputable sources. I study this subject thoroughly.
@@psychotic.in.seattledon’t listen too hater’s I just had my first one and trying too accept and you just explained it very well for me 🇮🇪
Think they meant most of the world doesnt have the right information on mental health thanks for your video though@@psychotic.in.seattle

To the mind that was overtaken by knight's move over 40 years ago, it was WW1 & 2, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia wars, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and Gaza wars all being funnelled through it. It was so unfair. Why me? I would plead to god and devil both for release. If it was because at some point I was designated as "chosen", I commanded the universe to free me of that.
Wakey Sodium levels can also cause psychosis
Ah that makes sense! I hear thyroid issues do as well.
Talk more about how your beliefs have changed.
I’d be happy to! I have a couple of videos already made but I can make one about that next.
Spread that mycelium
That’s it! I’m off medication and not compliant and I’m unhinged! That’s what our community has been saying about me for decades. But I’m not. Ostracize me because you are afraid to face it. That’s ok. But you will not silence me. Your “law” states only medication and compliance is the way. Yet for the past 5 years I’ve seen you go back to the hospital over and over. Still laying in bed and can’t move. But your magic pills aren’t working? It won’t beat me! The new wave Israeli Nazis won’t beat fighting jack! You hear me? Even though I’m dead now because TH-cam deleted me I can still have the courage of fighting jack! Peace!
