Regretting or feeling guilty for having psychosis

I wrote pretty mean stuff and threatened a person on-line while psychotic. I’m lucky I wasn’t charged.

So yeah…I wish I could have a ‘take back’ in life. The only thing you can do though is to promise yourself you won’t repeat the same mistakes, and to try to do better each tomorrow.

I often regret how I handled things after having a breakdown. It certainly didn’t do me any good in the long run

The biggest regret of my life when I first became psychotic was a suicide attempt. Thankfully my husband left after years of emotional abuse from him but he also took our son with him. My son was 16 at the time and I haven’t seen nor heard from him since. 9 years now.

I was diagnosed with late onset schizophrenia - if only things were different. I live in hope of reuniting with my son someday.

I have no regrets, maybe smoking weed as it made me psychotic even on meds.

Thanks @Cragger , I feel for all parents that have lost a child. It hurts being a parent, when our kids hurt we hurt. I am sure my son would be hurting too having lost his mother at such a vulnerable age.

Thanks again.

I can only imagine. I don’t have children of my own, but I know how badly it would affect me if I lost my Goddaughter for whatever reason

I regret making my grown son live in a group home for the mentally ill.

I regret taking those stupid pills while on the job as a nurse.

I regret giving in to my fathers commands and joining the Air Force instead of the Army.

I regret staying attached to my last gf for so many years, 16 years.

I regret being sick with sza for 33 years. I’m more or less in remission now. I get breakthrough symptoms every now and then still.

I regret psychosis…. Coming off of 5mg aripiprazole having another episode and losing my family and ruining my job prospects.
