When I was ten,my parents dropped me to hospital for tonsils removal.
When anesthesia was supposed to begin,doctors put me a “mask” with halotan (chlorophorm like) on my face…
I began suffocating kicking everything around me,until they finished …
I still remember the smell of that substance…
It triggered me later,as I stopped eating and behaved carless…
Went to hospital with 64 kgs,when I was out 39kgs.
Did you have trigger for psychosis?
Omg that’s awful.
I had surgery before, and when they put me under they used something intravenous.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. That must have been scary.
My trigger were mostly drugs.
Yeaah, I am also sorry this happened to you!! It’s really bad
Not really. There are things that upset me and things that cause my symptoms to worsen. But they are common things that would put anyone into high alert. Such as stress and unforeseen traumatic life events. When I was younger I had many “triggers”. Spanning the range of a jar of pickled pigs feet to certain common phrases. Life does not stop for you and your “triggers”. I see people use that word as a way to not cope properly or put others in a position of having to compensate for them. It is your duty to learn how to deal with your own symptoms. It is not easy, but it is necessary.
My only “trigger” for psychosis that i can really recognize is lack of sleep. But it’s kind of a chicken-or-the-egg, as when I’m psychotic i also don’t sleep.
I think mine might have been LSD use, maybe not directly in the sense that I never came down from the trip. But I became super depressed afterwards and that kept snowballing for months until I became psychotic
Maybe Stress or fear but that’s not really a hard trigger.
no not really. besides the obvious one that if i smoke weed it will make it worse. but basically it happens if i quit my med no matter what happens around me. the weed only worsens it.
