Will psychosis erode away the reasoning faculties of the mind? Will it take away our sense of logic and ability to reason? Or does it only affect certain reasoning faculties? Will it take away my belief in spiritual things? If left untreated or getting worse, does more of our reason leave us?
Getting a little scared of my future that’s why I’m asking.
Id also like to know this, when i was unwell my voices said my deductive reasoning was not working
without medication I lose all reasoning except for things that can get me into jail. I find this interesting.
I think voices ect make us more panic-y which can make us more inclined to make quicker decisions. I.e. were constantly because of these scary voices and ideas, in a state of fight-or-flight, and that leads us to make quick snap decisions about things, which can lead us to illogical conclusions.
Psychosis distorts everything
mmm, yes it will. you can’t think anything good or right.
Will it endanger my religious beliefs? I’m scared. I want a strong faith
it may turn on you, it did to me. just get stable and come back to it. some traditions are solid, no matter what happens.
I saw a great picture once in a church. You need to find your picture, then hold it tight. That way, even if they destroy the picture, you still have it
Schizophrenics in general have a tendency to make worse decisions. We also have trouble balancing our budgets. I know personally I love to spend money.
Certainly psychosis could change youur beliefs. If your concerned about that keep steady with your med regimens
I’ve also heard that everytime you go through psychosis you are in worse shape than you started. Eventually the psychosis will just be 24/7
well that’s always an encouraging thought. sarcasm.
Haha. Sorry. Just what I heard. That’s why it’s good to get on meds ASAP
My medication causes me to feel better some of the time. But not everytime.
It did not affect my faith.
I don’t know my likes sometimes or it takes time to make an opinion when in the past I just went on and on doing things I disliked. I don’t know why but I can’t accept my creativity. It is just too profound, I get scared and say “I don’t accept”. My voices want to take my belief in God and usurp his power. I’m very unhappy. I have discursive thought patterns. Reading is the best investment a person can make. It goes a long way. I replace my discursive thought with a story with a beginning, middle, and end. I also try to write only one line of thought so my letters are one subject, one paragraph, linear, but cyclical thought might be saner if not discursive. I held my mind too tightly and lost control. Strange how that can happen you end up holding nothing.
Well, sz often make decisions that dont seem in their good interrst, due to delusion.
well, every one of my works has been done completely sane, medicated.
plus all my reading.
I never really thought of all of it like that was correcting my mind,
but maybe.
Can meds help with that?
When you say everything, what does that mean exactly?
