I had severe psychosis for a few years from meth. My story is insane and a miracle. I had auditory/visual/tactile hallucinations delusions and paranoia with insomnia. I had an episode and attacked someone and got shot 8 times by police and had a life sentence in a mental hospital. I did 5 years, I'm now psychosis free and med free. I have anxiety and depression due to unresolved PTSD. Im in a mental health program and life is a blessing but not easy.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ex meth addict here, from my experience personally and knowing other addicts it’s usually triggered by sleep deprivation. After day 3 or no sleep everything got weird. I made no sense when I spoke and became extremely paranoid randomly. Heard dogs barking and screaming that weren’t there. Thought my hair was coming out. And so much more. Once I got some sleep I would be okay. The longer I was up the worse it got. Just my experience, I’m lucky I didn’t have any long lasting psychosis

I am currently going through my first episode of meth induced psychosis. I am starting in patient rehab this thursday and i just wanted to say that my experience has been one of the hardest things ive ever had to go through. I cant wait to get better. Meth addiction isn’t a joke. I’m only 19 and I got lucky to have my family support me and help me get the treatment needed. I am scared and dont know what to expect.

My brother is going through this, I pray for him everyday day.

My bf has meth psychosis and believes the police are always watching him in the woods and following him every where he drives. It has made me miserable and I hate going anywhere with him. It's all he talks about. Constantly accuses me of talking to people (who don't exist) about him and has become violent towards me for it. When he isn't using he is a great guy with a loving heart. When he is using, I'm scared for my life. I finally had to leave him and it breaks my heart.

As a nurse, we often get court committed patients from the jail system suffering from meth induced psychosis. It is so sad to see the very real fear these patients experience.

Psychosis is what made me eventually stop because it's absolutely terrifying. What I came to realise is that there is no way of maintaining a happy and anxious- free life with meth induced psychosis. There is no outsmarting/beating psychosis whilst continuing to utilise meth. I tried, it does not work. My psychosis started of with visual hallucinations. Later I started hearing voices. I believe that these voices which invokes feelings of aggregated fear and anxiety are nothing other than feelings of guilt, for something you have done wrong or for which you might get into trouble. When I heard these voices I would tell myself " nothing will happen, it's only the drug" and I would continue living as if nothings wrong (despite the voices being abdundantly present)... After some minutes, maby hours, of acting more comfortable (since I convinced myself it's only the drug causing the voices) a totally new scenario would commence with other and/or the same voices, which invoked the fear and anxiety all over again. This was a never ending cycle. I stopped 4 days ago, solely because I was concerned that sooner than later, there will be a public incident in which people thought I was insane. That's something that would be very harmful to my reputation as a legal representative. I will be honest- there is little in life, if anything, that can cause the same pleasure than what smoking crystal meth does. I still believe that it had various cognitive benefits for me especially in my profession - I've done some great work and solved some difficult problems whilst being on crystal meth. However, I don't think it's possible to maintain a successful life whilst being on it most of the time. Sooner than later you will prioritise crystal meth above something that is more important to do and/or engage in, at the time. Systematically, one incident will occur after another until the point where you f*** everything up. I've not f***ed anything up. Luckily. It was close though. But the feeling of feeling insane and possibility of being considered as such by the public was enough to deter me from the drug.

So freaking scary! I really do appreciate your level of caring and treatment, Dr. B

Just got back home at 130 in morning. My brother called me at 9 saying 2 people were trying to kill him. He was hearing voices, thinking peps was in the woods, high strung and angry. Wouldn't listen to no one and everyone else was wrong, he'd say he could hear the neighbors talking about him like 2000 yards away in their house. It's a shocking experience.

I believe that in general for some strange reason a lot of people are having a hard time separating falsehood from reality and that's the reason why I have made a personal choice to avoid every mind altering substance out there.

I’ve never used meth or had any psychosis but your videos are so interesting and helpful, I personally had a addiction to pain pills and your videos have helped me no end, your a great man

[ben_the_angry_alaskanhawki]

I've only had small bouts of meth induced psychosis but I recognized and was able to correct my behavior. The worst was when I had bath salts induced psychosis when I was seeing people in the woods and hearing things in the walls and completely unable to convince myself that it was all false manifestations until I had a sober friend point out my delusions.

It's the scariest thing ever to see your adult son go through. 🙏

First, let me say Hello. And um this dr.s voice is quite soothing and trusting. Psychosis is usually during silence. Your ears feel like you can hear leaves falling from trees, on an amplifier. The dark shadows in the corner, i got used to, but i experienced the echo. Hearing a sound or something someone said, especially negative would stay in my ears. And it repeated. I'm bipolar manic depressed and when suicide, guilt, depression arrive together, its a day of so much paranoid jitters. Having another person threaten you, like family or spouse, feels like the are pinning you down. Fight or flight is enhanced. Ty.

Great video. So glad I never got to this place. I saw a friend I hadn't seen in 10 years recently he's so broken from Meth. It's incredibly heart breaking really.

I was a meth addict and I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but after I stopped using meth, all of my schizophrenia symptoms eventually ceased and have not come back. And I stopped taking Geodon a long time ago. I think I was misdiagnosed. I think it was just the meth.

i got abandoned at a gas station by this dude i left treatment with in los angeles. he drove off with half my belongings and phone charger. i am from missouri, not used to these streets at all. previous to him abandoning me, he had threatened my life because he was up for 4 days and thought i was plotting against him. i spent that whole night walking around a nearby apartment complex with a knife, terrified that he would come back to kill me. i remember looking for places to hide, but i kept ending up in the same spot. i literally believed that it was only a matter of time before he came back and drowned me in the pool because i kept ending back up by the pool. then i found a dumpster with brick walls around it and i hid behind that until daylight when i started seeing people get up and leave for work. then i finally left to find a place to go charge my phone. i finally found a walgreens and the treatment team somehow found me by the grace of god and brought me back in. i have never been so scared in my life.

I struggled with Meth addiction for many years. I am now 24 years free from the ugly demon of addiction. With no rehab or medications, I turned to Jesus he is my rock and strength. Put your trust in Christ you can overcome anything 💯 ✝️✨️ 🙏 💞

Methamphetamine psychosis is by far the most tramatizing experience of my life it was true suffering

[PedroMoreno-mtuz]

Heavy cocaine and crack user for 15 years.

I’m going on 2 years sober and I’m barely feeling myself coming back to reality, and that’s cause I work a lot and workout a lot too.

When I had psychosis I would think I was such a great/smart person. I believed everyone was out to get me. I’d hear people laughing and talking about me. In one of my trips I saw giant rock people in a circle praying to the sky. I saw people who I hadn’t seen in years, somehow end up at my house, and I was conversing with them. I saw demons and dead people multiple times, and I even felt them on my body. This was caused by multiple days of being awake, being dehydrated, and heavy drug use.

Trust me when I say I was #1 in the world when it came to drug use. If I could get sober so can you, GOD is rooting for you.
