Psychosis traumatised me and now it lingers in a horrible way in my reality.
I just want a peace of mind

Same here, im stressed out lately but it could be because im tryna quit smoking. Patches and gum work, but my mind is still psychologically craving the “pleasure” of a cigarette.
I feel better after lifting some weights earlier. Gonna try again.
As to having crappy things on your mind, my only advice is to try to avoid thinking on it, and forcing yourself into activities thatll make you think of it less.

I am also on the same boat. Just need peace and love. Not constant chatter about unwanted things in my mind.

Psychosis didnt traumatized me, was actually kinda fun. I just felt lethargic afterwards also the whole getting a diagnosis freaked me out. I think the stigma is most traumatizing

I totally understand.
When I think about some of the things that happened to me when I was first going through psychosis it terrifies me. Talk about the heebie jeebies!
Just try and stay strong and think about happy things like your cool job or artwork.
And if it gets unbearable take a prn and watch a silly movie or some cartoons.
Hugs!

Psychosis broke my career in two.
I also moved continents because of it.
Got a very stigmatizing label and have to live on a low income.
At least I still can do my walks.
I try to think positively

Psychosis seemed to be more of an effect of the trauma I went through. But there were parts of it that were definitely traumatizing.

Life is full of so many challenges. Im grateful for my life experiences the good ones and the others that shaped me to build endurance. its not always so bad, Ive managed to ride the waves of madness and not suffered.
