I don't have Psychosis or nor am I schizophrenic. I'm here because I wanted to be more aware about it and my heart goes out to anyone who's truly going through this I know it's not easy.

Psychosis is pure hell. You can’t tell the difference between delusion and reality, and it’s terrifying

Imagine before science like the 1800s how many ppl suffered with conditions like these

[hunterwyman]

I think I developed psychosis by knowing people were talking about me then when I confront they’re fake so then I could never truly reassure which caused psychosis thanks to them being fake

I think I have psychosis, from constant on going trauma honestly.. I thjnk very irrationally and worry about crazy things but not to the point where I'm paranoid

I suffer from psychotic depression with excessive audio hallucinations, paranoia and delusions etc. and this was spot on. My panic attacks and inability to express myself has cost me a few good friendships because I'd think they were plotting something against me, like Steve Carell in Shmuck For Dinner as well as going heavy on sarcastic humor and over-the-top compliments that came across as mean and creepy. I'm better off a tribe of one.

I had psychosis when I was in high school. The reason why I had it was mostly because of school. My parents did play a role in it. I know school was a major factor because during breaks from school (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break etc) I felt more sane. As I returned to school from those breaks my mental health would quickly decline. Fuck high school.

I fiend of mine was in psychosis for almost 7 months, he was hearing voices and feeling tingling sensation on his skin. Severely sleep deprived and smoking heavily. He was delusional, thinking someone hacked his brain. But he was just functioning normal, going to work and meeting up with his family and friends. As the voices got laugher he was hospitalized, came to find out it was a tumor. After the surgery he was back to his old self and doesn’t smoke at all.

I experienced cannabis induced psychosis once and man is was terrifying. I was hearing people talk about me to eachother, everything was moving slowly, I saw shadows and bright fuzzy colours, I couldn’t stop twitching and I was convinced I was dying and that my face and throat were swelling. Completely mortified.

I've lost interest in most things, and I'm not very social, nor am I motivated to do anything. Not to mention I also like talking to myself, along with thinking that people talk about me, or judge me. And let's not forget the fact I have bi polar depression 🤦‍♀️

Psychiatry is not 100 percent decent medical profession, many mental health workers are cruel when the camera is not on them

[sandwichhoop]

Sometimes i feel things that aren’t there and sometimes I get the urge to scream sometimes parts of my body just twitch for no reason some times i can feel my veins

[ebonystills]

I used to be sad, pitiful of my situation. Now im just mad, mad with the people i love, the people i dislike and myself.

[donovanscabbia]

I believe I might be going through this right now. I've been depressed and anxious since I was 12 or do, but this s experience is far worse than any thing I've felt before. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I'll do the same for others to. Compassion and understanding are key.

[kylesexyman]

At school I am so afraid of people I will wait untill the halls are empty to go to my class because I can hear people whisper about hurting me it's terrifying

Psychosis condition can be used positively with the right guidance. Changing thought process during those interrupted thought moments can make a person with previous traumas look at life positively with proper guidance.

This is the clearest explanation of what I was going through during long-term prednisone use
