Today is the 9th.
I met my first pdoc April 9 2010. So it’s been 5.5 years without a psychotic break. I really can’t believe it. My pdoc told me I’ll definitely have another episode but so far so good

Congratulations. I’m still recovering from this bitch of an illness.

I’m only 1.5 years psychosis free, so if I can reach 5.5 years, I’ll be thrilled.
The thing is you’re really highly functioning to boot.
It was a bit unnerving when you said your psychiatrist said you’ll definitely have a relapse though.

I have been Delusion and Hallucination Free for more than 10 years or so, since my Divorce.
I still get bouts of Paranoia and Anxiety - but for the most part, free from all Delusions and Hallucinations.
I give a lot of credit to my Antipsychotic, Risperdal for this.
Congrats to you @anon80629714!

I was very angry my pdoc said that but I am happy because I told her where to stick her point of view. She also said I was just average functioning when I asked her if I was high functioning.

Glad you found it unnerving too! I think they can be so arrogant at times.

I relapsed last January but have 9 months under my belt. So far so good. One week…one day…one moment at a time.

My 1st relapse was September 2013 till Feb 2014. So about 1.5 years. I did excellent for the first year after psychosis but not so much for the past 5-6 months

I’ve been 1 year and 2 weeks since I was discharged from my last hospital stint for a psychosis. This is the first time I’ve made it an entire year since being diagnosed without being hospitalized. I just hope it keeps getting better from here.

Do you receive free services from a county doctor, or do you have medical coverage & insurance for the doctor you see?

Free meds however that’s about to change. And free visits to the pdoc however I only need to see one like once a year. I see my gp on a regular basis though.
Im a bit late but still…I cant believe that your pdoc said youll definitely have another episode. What a bitch. Just believe in yourself.
