- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2016
- Moving and insightful experiences of psychosis from three young people. The participants share how they have dealt with the enigmatic affliction that is known as psychosis.
Originally made in 2014. Since then, the film has had 25,000 views across uploads online and been shown at a variety of conferences around the UK.
Through the use of social media, it has received attention and utilised for educational purposes further afield. It’s been used on mental health first aid courses in Indonesia, police training in Cincinnati and cited as a reference in a report by the division of clinical psychology called ‘understanding psychosis and schizophrenia’. Oh, and we even got some interest from the BBC news website.

I had psychosis four years ago symptoms lasted a year. Not had symptoms for three years now. Still on meds. Feel stronger every day
3 years???
Am just starting out on the meds and also just realising it's a long time thing
Think we had it round the same year, glad to hear your persevering thruu it day and night, must be fun and quite daunting at times, though I have to say being hopeful thru it all helps alot, I think it's cause we have mental fortitude or the lack of it when it comes to attaining the best of the best for yourself and those whom you care about, just speculating, we have a common ground... psychosis haha, How are you dealing with it? What's been the best thing that's happend to you? Hope your well Stephen, nothing but love :)
I'm fine guys no symptoms thanks for the love
@@stephengill3372 Its quite an experience, you should try it
Thanks for telling me this. was wondering when the symptoms would disappear
It appears a lot of problems that lead tp psychosis are caused by being enmeshed with people who are unsypathetic and or no help to the person with mental health problems, also insecurity in housing is a major problem that causes so much worry it can be unbearable. R D Lang proposed sometimes taking the person experiencing the psychosis out of the abusive environment/family can help alleviate problems that are part of the mental health spectrum so the mind can be renewed in a calmer safe environment or community that is supportive. Psychosis can be a defence reaction to terrible circumstances the person is unable to change without some form of therapy or practical assistance.
I’ve had a bout of psychosis a couple years ago. Lasted approximately 6 months. Worst experience I’ve ever had. I used to feel no one understood.
Were you on any antidepressants or taking any illicit drugs at the time? All antidepressants cause chemical imbalance psychosis & suicidal thoughts! Also many health issues and food allergies can cause changes in behaviour they never look for the underlying cause! I was mid heart attack vomitting blood had passed out and was accused of psychosis by those lunatics who ignored I was very sick and then made me sicker prescribing omeprazole a drug I was allergic to and had been in my notes for 6 years! Then paid for private tests got the hospital records and discovered all their lies - they also lied to police and my family even though they recorded evidence of internal blood loss and heart attacks! I had been poisoned had to pay for private tests and get private healthcare! 2 auto immune diseases 100 food allergies, high cortisol & their abuse means I now have Cushing’s disease & was in heart failure! Nhs is totally incompetent and will gaslight victims! 2500 deaths at Essex mental health trust no doubt from the toxic drugs they’re overprescribing!
So yes but during the actual psychosis no to make a long story short the psychosis only started after I got off the drugs (I was incarcerated shortly after) I haven’t used in like a day and wasn’t on any medications before. You could say drug induced psychosis but idk not exactly a psychiatrist here. Also your story gave me like severe second hand anger
It is usually a brief thing. If a person needs to escape something, then symptoms continue. Like if you have unhelpful relationship or family.
I had a horrible psychotic episode 8 years ago (wow didnt realize it had been so long) and i stll to this day live with this fear in the bck of my mind that im going to slip again. Lasted months ended with me staying a month in hospital. Antipsychotics really saved me
We’re you diagnosed with schizophrenia?
Which ones did you take?
Psychotic visual hallucinations are so interesting. I've heard some doozies! Schizophrenia is a really interesting disease. I feel really bad for those who have it but it's really quite fascinating.
Facts it’s damn near philosophical 🧐 it’s like a god partial or atomic fission
This is a great video with great interviews. I have had a very hard time coming to terms with my own psychosis diagnosis and these people help give me a voice.
very good and thanks for sharing. wish more people would share their story of psychosis in this honest and and naked way.
I'm sharing it on the comments, making friends along the way, what did u want to ask? I hope I'm as curious as your curiosity
They talk like it is over. Its never over.
this has really helped put me at ease this afternoon after being awake for the last few months quite frankly, obviously there is a couple hours here and there but realistically nowhere near enough or healthy amount. great informative video deserving more views :)
I can relate to you totally. I didnt sleep properly for 7 months and started to hallucinate voices and images.
Very good documentary...... I've had phsychosis 5 or 6 times over 20 years.....It's sure something!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. It certainly is something! I do a podcast called 'Coffee and Psychosis' which has nothing to do with coffee, if you're interested!

@Kyle Hartley just go with it but tell your friend everything will be ok and try to distract them with something like music. Music heals me.
Not sure how many times iv had but my most challenging one was 4years ago, took some time to recover however it was insightful, quite fun tbh, scary for those close to you tho that's the only downside to it. I just hope those around feel less inclined to say omg your unwell on mad levels like you need to get help now(!) They create such a scary high it puts me off and they can be overpowering at times, buzzkills. A changed approach such as ' look, I love you and I know your going thru a challenging phase I think you need to speak to someone and let your words flow to how you really feel'. I'd love a conversation like that... Wbu? It's all about perspective and as much as you are a priority to those close to you, you need to help yourself as well, clarity is the key and speaking out confidentially or openly will help you with that, couldn't agree more
@@SusieSynth What kind of tracks you into?
@ImHereToUpsetYou Dumbasses There's many approaches you can take. Reassure them give positive reinforcement at the same time don't feel like a burdened nurse, feel like a positive healer that will make them wanna do something new or something they like, have a general talk and if they want to get deep let them speak, communication is key, Iv had it, got it, going thru it otherwise you would have disregarded it, if u have any questions lemme know, only if you are curious to know more, I'd love to speak to someone else who has it, share coping methods and/or just chill and chat
Good creative project!
Aw y'all make me all smile 😁❤
Wasnt sure about the title but this was worth the watch
Very interesting.
You nailed it
Apnea opened the door to this for me. I go catatonic lose my bowels then it goes. Mechanosis, machines crawling around my body. I worked out how to beat it. Xanax and an apnea machine. Along with the hypersomnia I'm on my own. NHS not helping.
Coupled coupled with my psychosis I have a history of traumatic brain injury
Same here i have traumatic brain injury too it's really hard..on meds as well what about you??
@@Nancy-pc6sf right now I'm kind of Meandering through life I have compound issues with traumatic brain injury. What I mean is I have a history of somatic brain injury my mom killed me by accident overdosing me. My dad drowned me once by accident. But I got documentation long-standing in a hospital the last go-around I died on my Harley in 2011 you might find my photos on one of my posting but I was affected by the Love Canal by the chemistry that was in the ground. So it kind of makes me a little bit more resilient I guess with a high acidity in my blood where a lot of problems people have died off it's kind of funny living out here on the streets and having covid a couple of times in the hospital don't do anything or the government doesn't do anything makes you more resilient. From what I gather what they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I think the world might be in trouble
In America “early intervention” is just being thrown in jail for a bit.
it works
No it’s taking your medication and sticking with it and having a strong support system
@@Michelle-mu2ux Law enforcement and mental illness interface far too often in the USA. It’s NOT an appropriate or successful protocol for helping individuals suffering psychosis. Jails & Prisons were designed as a punitive measure for those who consciously break laws for a certain type of gain. Penance~ Penitentiary its completely punishment based, punitive not therapeutic.
i just had a psychosis episode 1 hour ago and i searched up on google am i going crazy and i think i found out what i have. i cant believe how happy i am ive had this on and off since the lockdown. ive seen shadows. ive heard voices. and i made wierd things like i feel like people are watching me i feel like people are following me.
I experienced this too during my psychosis episodes
Hope you are going ok
Have a squiz at
Sam Vaknin RUclips
Funny/ Factual/ free-ing(?!)
👍🏻😁
you might need sleep
Professional help is the next step and an absolute must do
I have symptoms too I feel paranoia like someone watching. I have hallucinations like seeing unrecognisable people on the streets, sometimes there are sudden black lines on the walls (first hallucination I thought I needed glasses) and voices telling me what to do or how to behave. I thought someone was talking to me. I have social anxiety as well so I always think people don’t like me and are looking at me weird. I don’t often hear voices but other things like meowing or rattling from inside or outside the room. It’s very real to me but not real to others
Got diagnosed with it last month now got take meds for 2 years but it’s probably for life now .
Being on medication forever isnt a bad thing or soemthing to be ashamed of. I'm going to be on my meds forever too from the looks of things. But now I have the right ones and can manage the side effects I can live life as me again. It's really reassuring.
Seek god
@@ellagarnica8895 seek a good psychiatrist
Diagnosed with what? Most people go through periods of psychosis but it's usually not consistent so why would you have to be on meds for that long?
@@EmmaGodLovesTruth95 I think I exaggerated a bit when I got diagnosed but I’m getting closer to lower meds I’ve got discuss with my doctor but I feel back to normal just meds make me sleep all day 5mg abilfy been on it for 8 months not for life it’s just in the moment it feels like the worse thing ever but it gets better . I do need to ask my doctor to change my med or get me off it because I sleep to long and need to be up early more but I agree with you it’s not forever it’s recovery time they say 2-3 years but maybe it can be fixed earlier so far been on it for 8 months abilfy and before ozapmine
And from that traumatic brain injury I have a history of it and that's because I've died more than once and they can't explain it but they can't have someone running around being inoculated by most of death situations I got the paperwork to prove it. But it does give me the sense of Ascension but I don't take it no further than that it's just a curiosity now I died in 2011 on my Harley 15 ft and air and 120 ft down the highway and that near-death experience or death experience depending on which side of the fence you're standing on experience really dispels ideology
thats because quantum immortality is real and you dont die unless you want to. however though physical circumstances (like jumping into a volcano) can change you mind real quick.
@@atrpntime that way my perception would be if I don't lose my head like in the Highlander movies I'll be okay LOL
When they was all together at the end it seemed a little happy for me. Cause I've been hiding myself with this hurtful disease for so long. Rejection was the first thing I rememberd when I went into my own head. And therefore my own punishing jury. I've suffered for ever know ing I wasn't like at 17 put me in a shame hurt spiral for ever. Anyways .yes the music was goofy but I was hoping for the music of that time 1970 s. They. Was smoking inside had to be 70.s. I wonder if a 12 step program for this disease would help me if they had them ?
Noone in the mental health field ever helped me ever in twenty years, from 16 to 36, and my panic attacks when I was a child of 8 on when I wasn't officially in the system. They only made it harder, uncomfortable silences unnecessary programs after 8 hospitalizations and over 50 psychiatrists and fifty social workers and several programs- no help, nothing ever but cold vacuous acquaintances. The state has switched my insurance over and over without notice and made me struggle to work with them for help. There is no advocate in a general way for us 8n the US. People have to know how hard it is for us not only living, but managing affairs we should have a helping hand with because they told us we are unfit and turned us loose, never getting any options. I cannot handle things people call normal or easy. And there is no help for that - I mean I would rather not talk to people like psychologist or therapists, I have nothing to tell them. And because I am intelligent they underestimate my illness and there are awkward silences rather than any therapy or talking. I am always supposed to initiate the conversation and keep it going. For an hour what is there to talk about. I have received no valuable help in therapy or psychiatry. America doesn't take mental health seriously, well only to eliminate the problem, so it goes in a nation like ours. I am a stranger to kindness and would not know how to respond to it having such crap quality of life. Now my life is gone and the so called normal life is no longer even an option, I have an autoimmune disease that gave me arthritis at such a young age and there is no cure, so I am now also in constant pain as well. So much for quality of life.
I understand. I work in the field and and am bipolar (not on meds) and I do have things under control most of the time, but I feel as though coworkers know something is off and patients know something is on for them. I will advocate for my true family first, I'm in the field because it's a calling, many people have misconceptions or in denial of their own trauma or lack there of, they are the brainwashed, but they aren't bad people per say- the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In order for healthcare workers that actually care to have an opportunity, we have to follow certain rules. We are out there, it just sucks on both sides. A new trend for employees is compassion fatigue, like wtf lol both sides are in a weird spot. The little things I think for both sides even if just once a day make true difference. At least it's not burning at the stake in public anymore, now it's just covert. Please stay strong. one can't even share their story with patients "ethically and potentially legally," with fear of retribution. We're taught to keep boundaries, and to stay inside a scope of practice, the system doesn't want to help, the people in the system (not all, but many truly) do. I'm sorry for your pain, you are not a monster, the mind is. And what we have done to each other and our way of "normalizing" life. It's a societal ego problem in my understanding, I'm nuts but I have stories and experiences and clarity now as do you, it's not always pretty but we have to play the game a lil bit. I know these words don't take all that away magically, but wanted to let you know that sharing these stories are important and can keep people going, it breaks my heart to have to work under the stipulations of acute psych, but it allows me to work with the people that get me. There's an unspoken bond between real humans capable of so much mental and emotional pain to carry on another day. Thanks for you story and your honesty and resilience. You are still here my friend, they tried to burn you at the stake 😏😕
@@cowboycalicojakk9685 the road to hell is paved with good intentions - but it only leads to one place. Hell. The mental health system is so inhuman that it takes on the characteristics of hell. And is hell, devil, death. When you saw the harsh reality of the system, you should have left it rather than perpetuate it. You are now on a fast train to a very dark very dead world if you don't get off at the next stop. Here it is. Make your choice now, you only live once this is the dragons eye, the fork in the path. You have a choice now. If you make the wrong choice be prepared for the effects of your choice. This is cause and effect. I will give you one choice to break off from it and live another life, if you stay, then the sin of the whole system is on your hands as it is a business, a corporation and not a help. It may be disguised as such, but couldn't you help more people outside the big thing that sold its soul long ago at the start. They will still prescribe electro shock, chemical mind control, worldly trespassing on their minds. Maybe not where you are but in a part of the whole. I will warn you once. Leave it now or become one of them. If you don't believe me you will see me one more time after you realize what you have become. If you choose wisely and leave it all together you will escape unscathed and never see me again. Good Spring to you.
@@JSTNtheWZRD thanks for this friend.
Please check out glucosamine, d mannose, magnesium and boron for rheumatoid arthritis. I feel like rheumatoid is mostly immune related, and tied to the gut, and deficiencies. I don't know what genetic factors you have though. Health is very complex.
@@danielmclaughlin2145 there could be something to that. Have any more on it?🙂
Sussex early intervention refused to treat me in my first episode, claimed I'd never have another one, so I didn't need intervention. Now I'm in a second one and it's worse because of their bullshit
Psychosis, put on the individual but actually to do with a sick society rather than any of these people
some people do things to try to make you think your crazy , im lucid .. trust me , I am very perceptive and they cant handle the truth , believe me they try to mislead you ..
Same here... Lucy Lucy lucy.. Halu Halu Halu. 3.30 we never sleep
Do you have trouble getting restful sleep? Is that a common thing with psychosis? Please answer, I haven’t gotten real sleep in 2 years
4:20 - few got the reference
Well here's something I grew up on the Love canal I flipped through the cracks my whole life due to the poisoning and they have not even removed the hazardous material from the ground from there they just put a cap on it but I have to live with the biological alteration of my chemistry and I understand psychosis very well when I was a child they were telling me that I had a very active imagination but I didn't have the certain ticks will say that a normal psychosis would have and apparently that fight they overlooked and misdiagnosed a lot of my problems where they thought it was one and it was another that caused it which caused the whole suit and tie of the diagnosis being incorrect like they say dead men don't wear plaid
I am sorry, the mental health provision is in crisis. My daughter has been kept in A&E in a cubical for 7 days, very little access to secure outside space. Security staff are quite scary looking individuals I am informed. The clinical and care staff at the Royal Sussex hospital seem very nice and have been extremely helpful. As a parent I am reserving judgement. To this point our families experience of mental health services has been less positive. Psychosis affects more than just the individuals suffering, it affects the individuals family and friends. They need support and education so they know how best to help their loved one. They also need help and support with their mental health.
Reality getting an upgrade? Not really. Sleep difficulty is actually mentioned. The woman talks ab’t what silence sounds like. Why should that be so rare to hear? I know, different ppl relate to diff things etc. Early intervention certainly a big improvement over **avatar** programs. 2008 a P-doc told me, “we’re still in the dark ages.” 2020? Lots of stigma campaigns just like 20 yrs ago. “The Inflamed Mind” & “The Great Pretender” were impressive. Both reflexively hated by anti-psychiatry MIA. Big contrast, one by a Cambridge MD the other by a former patient w/ psychosis who recovered thanks to a changed diagnosis. Accurate? Seems so. Hope so.
Any a travis bickle shoutout
Watch ; JERRY MARZINSKY.
I’ve got psychosis, but my doctor said it’s not a problem!!
Psychosis not a problem hahahaha & that was a year ago. Zero help
Shrooms are a powerful psychedelic with a long history of recreational, medicinal, and spiritual use worldwide. Still, psychedelics can be unpredictable, and experts advise anyone interested in using them to start with a low dose and seek counseling from a medical professional.
Have you heard of charlesmyco?
He got psychedelics. I do order from him.
Check him out...

@@lilianparle4822 I do ayahuasca 2/3 times a year.
@@Warp75 How is the response?
👋
Unfortunately my psychosis was a much bigger problem I’ve been diagnosed with bpd dythymia and anxiety but they’re thinking it’s schizophrenia
They diagnosed me with them all, all mental illnesses until I was diagnosed schizophrenic. They also medicated me for every different kind of mental illness one after the other until then. Most of what I took is now off the market because of dangerous side effects, mostly they took it off market in other countries first. Then when they medicate you for schizophrenia they are waiting for you to get tardive disconesia - these chemicals are evil. An evil invention to give regular people.
@@JSTNtheWZRD Believe me I know. I don't know all what they gave me, but my symptoms were actually calming down by the time I got sent to a psych hospital. However I had an anxiety attack because I was away from home and family, and thought I was going to be there forever. They gave me some pill to deal with the symptoms and after that I started hearing a voice that would respond to my every thought and action and wouldn't let me sleep, had a restless night. Luckily my parents convinced the nurses to let me go and I think I was a big enough pain in the ass for them to finally discharge me against the psychiatrists order. After a couple weeks of rehab at home, being in nature, getting good sleep, eating good, limiting time using technology or being out in public, I went back to normal
@@ZeRo-yc7zf unfortunately I have had anxiety attacks and anxiety every moment of every day since I can remember. I can remember one time for 10 minutes I felt relaxed or comfortable. It happens without a trigger for no reason, and I'm a pretty big scary guy, and was a bouncer in a bar, also have always been surrounded by murderers and criminals etc my whole life - it has been steady - constant. I know no other way to feel.
@@JSTNtheWZRD I’m sorry to hear that man you have it worse than I had. Just know it’s a survival mechanism and it’s your brain doing what it can to try and keep you alive. Meds may or may not work for some people but it would also help if you reassure yourself you’re in a safe place and that you’re thankful for your life
@@ZeRo-yc7zf oh no its like an idling car, you know it is always happening - and I have taken every drug known to man in handfuls to stop it, none could. Its like a running motor, always there. It doesn't get in the way or there's no reason for it it just is on always and steadily. I have tried women drugs alcohol violence arts work im actually a meditation expert and know and teach 100 different kinds of meditation. I have practiced zen for twenty years, and mind control from all over the world. It is just who I am, apart of what I am beyond flesh, i have had 100 psychiatrists as well and therapists, gone into the best renown hospitals did every pharmaceutical drug too - weird huh.
Plead for their Green Inferno just for them
Embarrassment at things we do, have done,..acts, behaviors, that are NOT rational…I often only notice my psychotic states after seeing the reactions🎉, facial expressions of the people around me responding to things im saying, doing about to do proposing to do. That when I engage my isolation drills……stop talking. Get away from all reaction potential. Speak only in response to a necessary question that pertains to maintaining my freedom, my autonomy.
In the USA there is no “early intervention act” or emergency housing stabilization programs for people in psychosis..
I just heard that theres a SA-Schizophrenic’s Anonymous up in Canada! Who knew?!
Try checking whether all the drugs you prescribe cause psychosis & suicidal thoughts maybe!? Oh yes they do - every single one is in blackbox warning for causing those symptoms & you never actually check for health issues food allergies or do anything about the abusers whilst often inflicting harm on people and ignoring all the health and safety regulations! How many kids have died due to being overloaded with toxic chemicals causing a chemical imbalance when prescribed anti depressants with toxic symptoms that all doctors are ignoring!? If you haven’t tested for chemical imbalances in brain and prescribe toxic drugs that cause chemical imbalances perhaps go check the lies from big pharmaceutical as no animal ever had any mental health issues - the drugs your prescribing can’t possibly cure any in humans! It’s all falsified evidence from big pharma that some lunatic buyer in nhs believed! The toxic drugs which destroy every aspect of physical health also destroy peoples minds!
Great video, but why Brighton ?? I cant get help here but all the transiant souls think its a good idea and deserved god given right to come here and use up all the servises is beyond me. Thats why we have a crap green mp who has no idea about us.
Psychosis is a good thing. It puts you in contact with the universe, so you don't need to dream as much
Its a mental illness?
@@aloysiusking9133 I think it is seen as an illness only if you are a negative person with lots of karma. In that case you attract a lot of negative people who tell you to do lots of bad stuff. I guess the health of the brain could also be bad in some cases, in which case I guess you become delusional. I think I have psychosis, forced to take meds earlier, but now I think it is enriching my life. I talk with aliens on a daily basis (telepathically)
@@calleedlund21 I can't tell if your some weirdo thinking its funny to mimic and exagerate people with psychosis or if you actually have it. I think its the first option considering those who think or know they have psychosis tend to get help and aren't as quick to believe their delusions (thanks to the meds, therapy plus acknowledging it themselves etc etc).
Please, if you are pretending, stop it. Its not funny and people struggle with it. I'm trying to see a doctor for myself after years of being terrified of being murdered, seeing things that weren't there, believeing everyone had it out for me etc etc and its not funny. Its down right terrifying.
@@aloysiusking9133 Well, if you believe that you're gonna get murdered, it sounds more like OCD to me. And the reason people struggle with it is because they have beliefs about it that are simply out of sync with reality. If you actually believed that breathing was a bad thing, then I guess you would struggle a lot. And medication is stupid btw. Only for stupid people or people who have been victimized by other stupid people
@@calleedlund21 Thats not what OCD is and thats not all my symptoms. You're honestly disgusting if this is your past time. Psychosis is something people STRUGGLE with, its not good and its not a laughing matter.
Some of what he says sounds like telepathy...
Do any of u seek god ?
