I want to hurt myself now because I was psychotic 
it feels like a personal failure and that my brain is broken
I feel really dumb for believing in those delusions
what to do? my doc prescribed a new med so im gonna start it but uhh i feel sad now
Take it as it was a bad LSD trip, just an experience, a bad one but one that you learned things during it.
Take it easy on yourself. Negative syntoms usually are noticeable even on meds, and you won´t be as productive as before. You just need to be calm and see the things in a slower motion, that will help.
Good news are that you can control not beeing psychotic again just by taking the right med.
Don’t feel too bad,
Most the people on this forum have gone through psychosis at one point or another.
Many of us have had multiple hospitalizations for it.
It’s a confusing time and there’s no shame in it because it’s something you can’t control.
You’re being proactive by taking the geodon and accepting that you have an illness.
It’s normal to feel a little bit of a loss after going through something like that, but it shouldn’t make you sad.
You’re not alone.
@GoldenRex thank you both
i feel like negative symptoms are more of a problem right now than anything else.
i hated being at the psych ward because ppl treated me like I was crazy (well I was but it felt horrible)
im kinda scared of the side effects but im going to take it anyway

Good news. After like 6 years of this i´m studying a somewhat demanding bachelor. Don´t let anyone tell you what you can or can´t do.

how to get over of feeling like I am a failure? 
i hate myself because i believed things that were that obviously not true
Well, you will realize that everyone believes in things that aren´t true to a lesser or greater extent.
Care only about the fact that you now realize that you were believing in things that aren´t true (for a short period of time). Take it as a learning experience, like all failures should be taken.
well i get ya what you mean but not everyone is/was psychotic, you get me?
Do you see a therapist?
They could probably help you sort out some of these feelings and boost your confidence.
