That’s my question…
Took me years to accept the diagnosis. It’s a big thing to swallow.

I wasn’t that surprised, because my mother had it. When she was diagnosed, she didn’t believe the doctor.

Strange and unsettling things keep happening, thats something I acknowledged. What is at stake is their interpretation or explanation. Psychosis is treatable, it is the preferable explanation. I couldnt figure out the truth of one or the other, so I figured maybe its not a case of truth but of interpretation. I made a pro’s and cons list.

I accepted psychosis right away but the dx schiz and later bipolar took me many many years to come to terms with… to some extent I still struggle to work out what it is… but have now left that to the professionals… the good thing was I did accept the psychosis and was complaint with meds

Coming out of the first couple years I had a couple of months of “oh my god I was just crazy” over and over. Then things started getting back to the way they were before I got sick, much less exciting and more controlled. It’s been a few years since then, I’m in a better place now.

I just realized that some of my thoughts were wrong. I was able to recognize some of my beliefs as delusions and change my thoughts.
