I find it difficult to rationalise. I don’t see it in myself but all my support team does. I sit here thinking I’m not unwell. But the pdoc thinks I’m SZA. Going back on the community treatment order with add mood stabilisers which I must take or get recalled back to hospital.

Many people dont realize they are unwell when they are. It’s when you realize that you have been unwell, that you know that you are on the right track.
When I’m in deep psychosis, I think I’m right and everyone else is wrong. It’s when you begin to doubt your thinking that you know you are on the road to recovery.

I’m let out the hospital. Can and do they still let you out if you have low level psychosis like constantly thinking people are out to get me and stealing my money but I suppose to my team this is harmless psychosis or just paranoia that’s why they let me out?
You are in deep denial or have little insight if you think you are not mentally ill. I mean why do you think you live in a group home if you’re not mentally ill? You’ve been obviously ill for years. Didn’t you try to dig chips out of your arms with a knife? I think that was you. I mean just think about the last 5 or 10 years. What do you think has been going on with your mental state for years? All I can think of is that for some reason, right at this moment, you are not feeling mentally ill and now you erroneously think you never were. I’m not judging, I’ve seen this many times on this forum where people have been on here for years telling and showing us how mentally ill they are and then suddenly have serious doubts that they’re ill. You can’t erase years of mental illness and pretend it never happened.
