Yeah its crucial to find healthy distractions.
Video games or books…
i have that tendency to obsess… so when I get obsessed with my problems its hard to find interest in things… video games, tv… or whatever else.
Thats a bad spot to be in.
Solving psychosis is more about letting things go and being humble…(which feels like crap a lot of the time)… but relaxing… keeping a healthy appreciation for the small things.
Good advise. It takes efforts to sort out the current issues. I am definitely up to the task but taking my own time to solve it and see what benefits and what not.
The ways to overcome the difficulties lies in reducing the stress and working towards the path of getting a relaxed mind and ability to do things efficiently.
I have some hobbies like solving crosswords, reading some books, watching some movies and series, writing journal… these keep me somewhat engaged.
And moreover not to give up on things that are seeming to be tough and hard to finish smoothly. Just have to judge the things on its merit and move on.
Seems like you have found your sweet spot to overcome psychosis. Good for you and keep helping to get some more people on that list.
Will do. Sounds like you’ve got a good perspective on things…
It really is just about being a human and keeping it simple. There is no magical force behind psychosis… its an unfortunate ailment completely random people wind up with.
Its always interesting to hear about someone elses psychosis as while there are common themes… its always vastly different. And its a lot easier to identify delusions in someone else than it is to recognize them in the self… ultimately my psychosis was no less ridiculous and unreal as anyone else’s.
For the onset of symptoms that were clearly sza-related, I honestly got so scared of people that I carried a weapon. I didn’t want to hurt anyone- I’ve never felt that way- but I thought maybe I could scare people away. It was pretty bad.
exactly same.i never get positive symptoms except for unidentified cases of paranoias.i used to have lack of hygiene, lack of will and lack of power to act .i was so weak.all day on the bed.but at 28 i get paranoid episode and after that i got treatment.i m ok after 20 years of disease and 12 years of hard treatments
Thanks. It is kind of warm to know that there can be much better understanding about the different symptoms and the illness on the whole.
I sometimes envy people here who have good insight and sense of humor. But, at the same time not want to think like that and have my own way of dealing things.
There has been lot of upsets and failures and downfalls in my life which led to the illness maybe and also some other reasons.
Now, I am putting all those behind and taking baby steps to reach to a place where I can self survive and not be a burden or worrisome for others.
I am trying to figure out whenit started for me… i used to belive it started with a punch in the head in 2018, and slowly I got more depressed. Before I was doing lots of meditation.
Maybe it started back in 2015 while in a spiritual center, where I had ayahuasca ceremony. Before ayahuasca I was not humble, but I was not proud either. After aya I had deep spiritual search, lots of books and lots of meditation and became proud of myself.
To be honest, I have no clue when or how it started. Gradually settled in more and more somehow. Even now, do not think is sz as I was dx, but BP.
I kind of know when i started to get ill, i was really upset bc my Mums hearing got so poor and i said something in frustration and i was hit really hard on the back of the head 
I was 14 or 15yrs old
It affected me really badly
Amazement and fear at the same time.
My immediate reaction to my first symptoms at age 6 was panic and running away from school. The same thing happened again at age 11.
