Can you recover from psychosis on your own?

I got rid of it by myself as well, I think there are a lot of factors when it comes to psychosis like what triggered it, life experiences and age. I used to think the government was watching me and that I knew people because I listened to their music alongside a plethora of other symptoms. I had so much anxiety it was hard for me to step out of the house if I didn’t have somebody with me.

Ultimately for me a understanding of self is what got me out of it. I was stuck in that mind state for around 2 years but as time went on I worked on bettering my self increasing In knowledge. Like how to take care of my teeth/ oral health, working on my diet (no vegetarian doctrine/ high quality meats and produce). Watching what I consume on a mental level as well no tv if it wasn’t educational to some degree I didn’t watch it. I think realizing that there is a government agenda and that I wasn’t completely delusional comforted me in a way because I wasn’t crazy to feel wary about the government. The high amount of sugar we consume coupled with the vegetable oils (which oxidizes and creates free radicals in our body which can create all types of disease) in our food. The corn and soy they feed livestock which in turn feminizes men and damages us hormonally. I mean I can go on deep into this rabbit hole I think if you are trying to better yourself everything will follow suit or if you’d like to have a conversation we can. A big part of it is also recognizing your thought patterns and seeing how you are operating on a day to day to understand the dysfunction in yourself and your family and understanding (if applicable) that how you were raised plays a big part, if you are without father you may have come to terms with it but it doesn’t take away the fact that it still effects you in ways that you may be oblivious to.

So in summary working on my self is what got me out of it. If you are going through it clean your room, take out the clutter create a space that you know like the back of your hand. Start somewhere put down the weed and drugs if you do use, stop your bad habits and learn about yourself

I doubt anyone will read this but I hope my experience and message has helped you.

I'm recovering from psychosis...whole year ...by myself I don't have nobody who can help me ..and I didn't know... I wasn't aware of that ...taking b12 shot ( injection) ..b6 ... ashwagandha, ginkgo biloba .. I had a religious psychosis.. its a pure hell in ur mind . 😔 I feel sorry for everyone who goes through psychosis

In 2021 I got diagnosed with schizophrenia, I was experiencing profound psychosis. Now I’m basically back to normal thanks to my medication. As a result I’ve been able to learn how to code computers and be the happiest I’ve ever been!

My bf thinks I'm stalking him, hacking his phone and broke up with me. I'm praying so hard he will get better soon and he realise. He is an amazing person. And it breaks my heart

I had Post Partum Psychosis after my second child.
It is extremely dangerous - women often kill their baby and their other children and often themselves.

They usually do not tell anyone what they are thinking - the psychosis is so real, they truly believe horrifying things.
I was fortunate that I told my sister and she insisted that I was delusional.
Harming my children was not my psychosis. I believed with my whole being that I was condemned to Hell.
I was dying - couldn’t eat and just sobbed all the time.
Finally, I was sent to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me immediately. I was put on the old antidepressants ( this was in 1981 )
Nardil - an Mao inhibitor.
Took a month to work and ECT was being considered.
I suffered for over a month and a half till my psychosis left - had to stay on medication for 5 months.

I can only say that my suffering cannot be described in any words on this earth. No way to describe what I lived through. Simply beyond description. Without help, I would have died from an inability to eat.

I don’t know about other types of psychosis other than what I have studied as a nurse and medications used. They are extremely unpleasant. Every doctor prescribing them should go on them to see what it feels like. Then they might understand how awful they are.
Stelazine was added at the beginning and the akathisia was unbearable.
Clonazepam can control it, but no doctor will prescribe a benzodiazepine.

To all who are suffering on this link, I pray that you will find a way to deal with your psychosis. From someone who lived it and made it through.

It’s hard. Every day can be a struggle but you know soon enough there will be a good day when things are brighter, the problem is you know the dark can creep in so easily. I have visual and audio paranoid psychosis/ schizophrenia.
Getting enough sleep (if you can) and eating as well as possible does help. For some the medication can help- for me it made me a zombie and it was the worse of two evils for me. I don’t really have anyone to speak to about it, I did once, I had a family, good job and a perfect partner, I had everything I could of dreamed of but when those demons in the head come for you they show no mercy do they. Everything left in tatters on the floor.
Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. But things can get better. Time is a great healer of many things.

Take care ❤

For me it was an awakening that showed me this reality isn’t what I thought it was, I set out to smash my mind open to see what I could find, I forced myself into psychosis on purpose! I started to lose control so I pushed everyone close to me as far away as possible to protect them, I lost everything but I found my true self, now I have to live with it! I’ve tried medication and it does nothing to me at all

[ms.c]

Too much weed
Not enough to do
No sleep
An idle mind
Not reading & comprehension
No yearly dental & medical
Wrong friends, family & teachers
Not working & eating well

Some reasons why there is a problem.

[smallslug]

I've been suffering with this thing for a long time thank you for the advice.

[HeyOlive]

I have experienced psychosis last year...was (and sometimes still is) "hell"...but it's true that the right supplements can help you get off the meds (if you're on them) and also ROUTINE with elements like working out/going on walks/ running and any slow movement and breath work like qi gong and yoga, but the most important -> PRAYING and ASKING TO BE FREED FROM DEMONS...!!!

Find out what triggered your episode/ episodes so you can prevent the following possible. Antipsychotics cure symptoms but not the root itself.

[MotocrossElf]

Look into the Open Dialog approach. Psychosis is hard to treat "on your own" but that's because isolation and neglect are major causes of psychosis anyway. With the right support and acceptance by a close family or community in a loving environment, people can and do get better with little or no medication. It's not about disproving delusions, it's about understanding what they symbolize to the person and how that relates to prior emotional trauma.

[GirGir]

I'm 59 and started experiencing Psychosis only 2 weeks ago. I don't know what lies ahead, but I think seeing a GP quickly would be a good idea.

[appleroad]

I got out of psychosis without medication

[Chelzebelles]

Yes, 100% you CAN

Do what you can to escape terrible circumstances & find a stable solitary living space, complete with a stable routine that prioritizes your security

I was sexually assualted this past Fall after a year in near solitude, healing, in the process of recovering from psychosis caused by severe family abuse in spring 2022...

I had felt much better, but that event did set me back.

I was told the assualt would "bump me up the waiting list" for therapy...

It did not, I am still waiting...

Anyway, I am doing great now, on my own, using YouTube to heal, learn & grow

P.S. no drugs involved, I only allowed that once, 2017, i was sexually assualted due to being a human zombie
I will never touch psyche meds ever again
Do not let anyone implant limited thinking that you need therapy
Remember that our ancestors made it thru many "dark ages" before psychology even existed 💜

[iiRazorTech]

Yeah well your “antipsychotics” gave me akathisia for 11 months now and I only took them for six weeks. Drs like you have no idea the damage that your meds can cause. I live in extreme terror and pacing 24/7 that never stops. Be careful guys. My life was ruined by “psychologists”

[TheWindriver]

Seems like I’ve had psychosis since around 2006 but was not diagnosed until 2024 crazy how I’ve made it this far . I’ve had a few death scares and have harmed myself and others, homelessness and criminal activity

[monkeymachine]

I stopped having psychosis when I stopped using hard drugs. When I used I had so many delusions. I thought there were people at my window every night scaling it and going onto my roof and under my home to shove dead bodies and store them in the foundation of the house. I also thought I was being gang stalked 😂😂😂

[owsowmuskwanaistus]

on your own yes, they alwaysneed soemone beside them to remind them that what they see and hear is not real i know how it is

[brendanhoffmann]

I live with psychosis. I clawed back reality by trying to do away with spiritual/religious beliefs. Anti-psychotics are essential. My psychosis was linked to a history of horrific abuse. I was turning the other cheek to my abuser, this led to becoming very mentally unwell. I had to cut him out of my life.
