This is such a resource. Thank you so much for taking the effort to produce this and communicating so clearly and honestly. This will help me a lot in learning how to care for my wife, who is in the first manic episode she's experienced during our relationship.
Thanks for the video, now I can explain to my mum why I didn't go to my university lectures. I was constantly in a severe fatigue at the start. A couple of years I was then psychotic. Love your channel subbed
I’m going to send this to my psychiatrist. I have a good one now and I think she’d be really impressed and fascinated by your viewpoints. Another great video, thank you! ❤
Thank you again for such an informative video! 😊 It is crazy that the other doctor did not listen to you. But I am glad you have a better one now. I know from myself how much it helps me to be able to trust in the ability of the professionals I go to.
I guess we should look at the positive/negative like math language; positive = something added, negative= something subtracted / lost (sorry for bad grammar.. non native English speaker)
I appreciate videos like this. I've been hearing voices again lately due to my physical health not being that great, and my hygiene is struggling again too (mostly applying deodorant). So videos like this helps me know what to look for and know a bit more, in case shit hits the fan (I don't *think* it will, and I'm hoping to feel better once I kick this ear infection...but I'm not sure)
@@marraine7299 that’s so great! I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself. I’m sure it feels so much better to lose the voices. I know for me it makes it a lot easier to function.
@@Psychotic.in.Seattle I managed to shower, so I'm glad. And yeah, I don't like those voices either. Lately, mine are kind of nice...but it still makes it difficult to focus. I'm always distracted because I try to listen to them when they're around. Hopefully work will go well soon, but I think it will. Happpy Monday to us both
@@marraine7299 good luck!! I hope it goes well. And yeah, I can’t focus when voices are talking to me (or to each other). It’s hard to get anything done with all the chatter.
One piece of advice I give people from my experience: don't let mental health professionals gang up on you. For instance a doctor and a therapist may confront you together. I don't think this is fair and it can cause one to become angry.
Oh I agree! It’s happened to me many times in the past and it’s the worst. I’ve had a doctor ask to speak to my husband instead of me before as well. Like my insight isn’t really valuable, so he needed to talk to someone who wasn’t “crazy”. Grr
Motives changing Day to day The fire increases Mass decay I look at the river White foam floats down The bodies poisoned Got to sit tight the wait After awakening The silence grows Screams subside Distortion shows Mutant thoughts Of bad-mouthed news It's just another birth Of distorted views I don't need no arms around me And I don't need no drugs to calm me I have seen the writing on the wall Don't think I need anything at all No, don't think I'll need anything at all [Chorus] All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall riddles in the dark lost in the mind of moria behind the face lies the snake the serpents intertwined rising within in the west a mid life crisis but in the east the kundalini awakening at first it resembles madness.
The positive symptoms had a buildup but the drugs basically treated my depression (partially) so I was able to hold a job which distracted me from my symptoms and also was able to hang out with my (drug) friends. I didn’t realize how bad things truly were because I was keeping a job. Literally I went to work one day and started hearing shit. It took about two weeks before shit hit the fan, realized something wasn’t right and truly lost my mind. I originally thought I was telepathic and knew other people’s thoughts and that they knew mine. Crazy stuff.
@@Mpxyzm2by wow that sounds like me! I had an episode that came on like that too because I was using drugs and didn’t see it coming. By the time I thought “hmm something might be wrong” it was too late & I went psychotic.
Pro dermal, reminds me of pro before dermal like dermatology,skin deep, as it is in the skin deep,still under your skin but not fully inside totally. Idk that's what I notice sometimes with words,you can sometimes break them up to know their meaning,especially with jargon speak ( not used in normal speech except for medical reasons etc).
I had an uncle who killed himself. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. My dad was the nuttiest man I've ever known and had been hospitalized at the start of his adult life but overcame his psychosis by having a strict routine. I am a lot like my dad: we are unemotional people.
Hello, I was wondering if psychosis might be the reason for your partner breaking up with you. They might say something to the affect of "I'm not emotionally ready for a relationship" even though you've been with them for a long term committed relationship at that point. Whereas normally they would do their best to communicate, you hear nothing from them for weeks. Just curious, because I know how my ex is feeling rn to some extent, and I'm trying to do research to figure out what might be going on with him.
@@Alex_Anim05 Oh boy, that is quite a conundrum! Honestly, psychosis can affect relationships in a lot of negative ways from both sides. I’ve heard so many people tell me that their partner in psychosis left them which was really unexpected and out of character. People also leave their partner who’s in psychosis when it becomes too much to handle. As for someone in psychosis, I can understand why they’d suddenly break off a healthy, stable, long term relationship. Psychosis changes the way you see people. Sometimes people get paranoid that their partner is out to get them, or they just see them in a different light. I hated my mom because I thought she was evil, even though she’s a sweetheart. Unfortunately a lot of people end up on the receiving end of these delusions, but it doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed. A lot of times when someone recovers they’ll repair the relationship and go back to their partner.
@@Psychotic.in.Seattle , that makes sense, thank you for sharing! I know I have some symptoms of psychosis, and dealing with past abuse, I often would split between seeing my abuser as a demon, or as someone who cared about me and was trying. Both were delusional, with the true answer somewhere in the middle, but I often had hallucinations and delusions which caused me to be impulsive around these people. My ex and I actually talked today. They continued to be cold and rude, and tried blaming me for texting them a lot right after the breakup, and reaching out to their friends when they blocked me. They did set up a boundary of me giving them space the day before they decided to go no contact, and I apologized for that. However, it seems to be more of an excuse and validation for their poor communication skills. I thought they were more emotionally mature and would be willing to work with me on their issues, but in truth, they just want to cut me out of their life. They even contacted their friend before cutting me out of their life, and communicated with them, but not me. I'm sure it's clear that I'm a little distressed about it, but their poor behavior gave me the closure I need. I felt a little bit at fault for the breakup, but in truth, it was them abandoning me, either out of a lack of care or an inability to handle their emotions. Whether he has psychosis or not, I hope he can work through his emotions and find happiness and healing, because I know he's stressed out right now with other things in his life.
@@Psychotic.in.Seattlei loved the video too 🥰 i can relate to much of the symptoms going up to psychosis, but i am quit sure that mine are autistic/ADHD burnout 🫣 i have periods where i lose the ability to talk entirely
@@KamillaMirabelle yeah that makes so much sense! That reminds me of a key element I forgot to mention in the video - these symptoms apply to soooo many conditions, including ASD/ADHD. Also, depression, bipolar, personality disorders, etc. Dang I wish I’d remembered to say that! Thanks for reminding me. They’re really similar, if not the same symptoms a lot of times.
@@Psychotic.in.Seattle no problem.. 😅 I just stopped working at a psychward.. now i work at a rehabilitation center for trauma patients ❤️ apparently i just love working with broken people 🫣 Joke a side.. I do use to have kinda delusions or what it is called.. i'm transgender too, and before i startet treatment for that i literally had my brain telling me, first that when i grow up i would get breast and the other part would fell off.. it turned into my brain trying to make me believe that i had breast when i could not clearly see i didnt, and so on.. 🫣 a little like when you lose a lem and your brain still think it is there.. so my desicion came down to either accept that i was having delusions and get treated for those or accept i am transgender and get treatment for that.. i decided the later since there where way more things pointing that way.. and hormon replacement therapy has way less bad side effects and such.. 😅 and it helped 🥰 Still got ASD, ADHD, atypical social anxiety and C-PTSD.. but it had helped on the anxiety too..

chronic fatigue syndrome? Autistic burnout?
I’m going to send this to my psychiatrist. I have a good one now and I think she’d be really impressed and fascinated by your viewpoints. Another great video, thank you! ❤
I really love how you approached this. You make everything so relatable. My 3 biggest negative symptoms are asociality, alogia, and avolition.
@@NavigatingthePeriphery oh same!! Well, the first time asociality was definitely bad but there were a couple where anhedonia was bad too.
Thank you again for such an informative video! 😊 It is crazy that the other doctor did not listen to you. But I am glad you have a better one now. I know from myself how much it helps me to be able to trust in the ability of the professionals I go to.
This is great. I had not heard of "avolition". You are very colourful
I guess we should look at the positive/negative like math language; positive = something added, negative= something subtracted / lost (sorry for bad grammar.. non native English speaker)
@@Nadja-MH yes totally! I completely agree, and your grammar is flawless.

Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Mass decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The bodies poisoned
Got to sit tight
the wait
After awakening
The silence grows
Screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad-mouthed news
It's just another birth
Of distorted views
I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No, don't think I'll need anything at all
[Chorus]
All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall
riddles in the dark lost in the mind of moria
behind the face lies the snake the serpents intertwined rising within in the west a mid life crisis but in the east the kundalini awakening at first it resembles madness.
I was on drugs during my prodromal phase so I avoided all the negative symptoms… had some positive… psychosis hit me like a TRUCK! HOLY FUCK!
The positive symptoms had a buildup but the drugs basically treated my depression (partially) so I was able to hold a job which distracted me from my symptoms and also was able to hang out with my (drug) friends.

Is it possible for the recovery phase to last more than a decade? And then, is there a potentisl for psychosis to recurr?? 🙏
