I know this has come up a lot but

what is a positive thing that you think you have gained from psychosis and the aftermath?

for me it is some kind of empathy for depression, psychosis, trauma, binge eating, paranoia.

things really are not black and white

people do things for reasons if that makes any sense

Not fear death and have empathy plus respect towards ppl with mental illnesses and mental disability. My sz made me want to become a psychiatrist when there is a treatment.

I think it’s caused me to slow down and enjoy life for the little things. I’m not trying to climb some corporate ladder. I’m not stepping on toes and clawing my way to the top. I’m not going, going, going all the time, just trying to get a little ahead. I stop and smell the roses. This illness has forced me to relax out of necessity.
