It’s a tough thing to accept… But insight comes with time and meds. Still when I am delusional and in psychosis I cannot accept the fact that I’m delusional.

Good.
How does it make you feel?

I’m having a hard time accepting it because I feel like I faked it before. So if I’m a faker how can I really have a mental illness? It would be easy to think I just have a mental illness. I know others feel somewhat similarly here though.

It’s common to take a while for some I think. After my first episode I expected to be able to quit meds and get everything back to normal, I had a few tries, but failed every time.
I guess something has to change within me if I am going to try again, like being stable for a real long time and feeling confident.

In my opinion, accepting is definetly the first step to somewhat of a recovery. The delusions never go away but now i can finally now move forward.
