That’s dreadful, I’m in real trouble with out my license. Need it for work. I’ve only got psychosis at the moment but have had two episodes.
Wish I’d never contacted them now
You can drive but a psychiatrist needs to declare you fit

Hopefully he will do, I’ll chase it up as soon as I’m able.

At the end of the day it depends on who is reading the doctors note. My psychiatrist has declared me fit yet I still can’t drive.
Seems very likely I won’t be able to drive.
This is also true. I think the main advantage I had is that I am not on medication. And my psychiatrist endorsed that fact and expressed confidence in my ability to navigate a vehicle despite my condition.
Personally, I do not think they will suspend it. There would be no reason to. You had one episode.
Was my second episode, had another a year before. Hopefully they won’t though
I am sorry to hear that. I had my second episode just last September for 6 days. (Horrendous) on the form I could not see anywhere I had to disclose that. But in any case I will give it to the psychiatrist. That endorsement shall alleviate any concern the DVLA may have
Mine lasted six weeks, by the time it was over I’d split up from my partner and derailed most of my life. Truly dreadful
My goodness…. Luke I am truly sorry to read that. I cannot even begin to imagine what that must have been like for you.
Sorry, my first was 6 days (2019) the second (2020) 5. I still have not reconciled the two experiences. Therefore, to have that for several weeks… I would not have survived. I suppose that is testament to your strength
Thank you for that, it was dreadful. Shame it went on for so long really. Was mainly delusions for the whole period and then I just snapped back to normal on April 12th.
Really wish it didn’t happen
Delusions come frequently. They are precipitated by my stress levels. I have just come out of one on Sunday.
The episodes I speak of were…. scary would be a grotesque understatement. But they comprised of both auditory and visual hallucinations, including severe delusions.
My delusions were severe and all encompassing. I believe I had a few hallucinations that related exactly to the delusions.
I never heard voices though, it was my own thoughts driving the delusions.
Guilt, but not mine. I have heard too many secrets and they manifest in my delusions. Before I was diagnosed, I almost turned myself in to the police for a crime I did not commit, but believed I was wanted for.
