Things you wish people could understand about having a psychotic disorder

I wish people would understand that the meds are not a bad thing. It’s not that I’m just not trying hard enough to cope with life as it is without meds. They are necessary and good for me.

I went into the hospital and my wife gave my guns and hunting knives to her dad to keep because she thought they shouldn’t be around the house when i got back home. I can understand where she’s coming from but it’s kind of an unfair judgement call.

Were you involuntarily committed? Because if so you legally can’t own them for five years.

my hospitalization was voluntary.

same here no one ever had to force me into help and I never did anything too crazy and never anything violent

Without the intrusive thoughts I would be relatively normal and could tell people where to go.
