This video is saving my life. Our stories are scary. Thank you for sharing yours. It’s scary to go through, live with, and super scary in a different way to share. Because we don’t even fully understand. Nobody understands though really. But people can’t barely even begin to wrap their minds around this kind of thing. I pray to God that I can find a partner who opens their heart and mind to understand, care, and love me, one day today tomorrow or whatever day before I die. Amen. I am touched by you speaking out on your experiences that I relate to so deeply. The words you say don’t fully match my experience because everyone’s is different, but the feelings we felt and continue to feel as our lives change are so similar. God bless you. I’m so amazed, inspired, and grateful to have found your videos. Xoxo 😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Lost myself is the most grief I can assume the psychosis give to me. Honestly the life is just a thing that I'm on because of my family. Every day I think in suicide, and I am aware I'll commit one after my family go to heaven or wathever. I know that I'm already dead tho
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. I am currently going through a situation where a loved one who has bipolar disorder is going through psychosis and believes that I am tracking her and controlling her emails. This situation is really difficult because she is keeping my child away from me because she really thinks that I am doing these things to her. I want to get back to a place where I am seeing my son every day but I am also concerned that she may not be providing care that he needs. She doesn’t believe anything that I’ve said to her. I even mentioned to her that I think she’s having a manic episode And she denied it. Do you have any suggestions on how I should approach her or things that I should talk to her about to possibly jolt her memory on who I actually am and I’m not the type of person that would ever do those things ?
@@demetriusbrown8285 I am sorry to hear she’s going through that and how it’s affecting you. I sure hope your son is ok. I don’t really have any advice to offer, although I wish I did. One thing I’ve learned from my own experiences is that sometimes there are breaks in delusions, so have patience - there may be a time when she’s more receptive. Other than that, I’m afraid there’s not much else I can say to help. I wish you all the best.
I think the recovery started long before I could accept the grief, actually. I think the grief took a couple or more years to get past because it was a really slow process.
Carolynn, thank you for being so well spoken on this topic. My husband just went through his first psychotic break in March and is now living with his parents bc he resents me for taking him to the hospital which gave him PTSD from his psychosis. I am the subject of his paranoia, but am unable to get through to him since he does not want to talk to me. Do you have any advice on how to proceed in this situation since it has been 2 months already? He is still on the minimal does of anti-psychotics and does not believe he needs more.
Oh gosh, I don’t think I’m all that suited to offer advice but I am actually working on a video for next week that will touch on communicating in difficult situations, maybe that could help.
Some people don’t have others in their life to help them get out of it. A lot of times, it’s not something you can get out of without help from other people. A lot of people don’t have insight and can’t tell they need help so they can’t ask for help. Without someone who can tell what’s happening, they may just go on like that indefinitely.
Your youtubes give me hope. Thank you!!!
You're so inspiring. I also grieve what my life was before my schizoaffective diagnosis.
I love your username!

How long was your recovery to get to this point ? Is it true that recovery begins when you accept grief.
I think the recovery started long before I could accept the grief, actually. I think the grief took a couple or more years to get past because it was a really slow process.
Just not burdening my mind with stuff at this moment

Why do some people stay in psychosis so long?
Some people don’t have others in their life to help them get out of it. A lot of times, it’s not something you can get out of without help from other people. A lot of people don’t have insight and can’t tell they need help so they can’t ask for help. Without someone who can tell what’s happening, they may just go on like that indefinitely.
