  • Trigger warning: I'm talking about my experience of psychosis as well as my triggers and what my "triggered" symptoms feel like, so please don't watch this if you aren't feeling able to today - it's told in a really positive way but I really wanted to give you a heads-up that those symptoms will be described.
    Also "psychotic episode i" is a pun in case I make more of these!

    Psychosis is the hardest thing you'll ever go through

    I had a very positive experience of psychosis with grandisose delusions and thinking i was the centerpoint of evrrything. The worst part was being confined to hospital with peoplr in much worse states. Have post psychosis depression from realising i dont matter in any way to the universe. The experiences i had that made me think i was special still make me believe that normal reality is an illusion we stay in to keep us from freaking out by realising the truth.

    Hello Anna, I found this video really relatable due to having a psychotic episode myself. In regards to your stress about global events, I really recommend the book: 'notes on a nervous planet' by Matt Haig (if you haven't read it already). It really ameliorated my anxiety :) Hope you're doing okay x

      Ahh thank you so much Grace! I've not heard of this one, and I am in urgent need of book recommendations so it is on my list, thank you. I hope you are doing well with it all as well! x

    Thanks for your video it was very helpful! if you don’t mind me asking, did you take antipsychotic? if so were you better when you came off them? 😊

      Hi there! I took the antipsychotic 2.5 mg Olanzapine twice daily for about 15 months, and have it on prescription PRN (so I can take it for a few weeks or months if I want to). I’m taking it at the moment and I take it when I think I am at risk/going through a tough patch. I don’t think I’ll ever be completely without it but I am on a lower dose than I used to be! I also had Lorazepam but haven’t taken it in about five years :)

      I did - I don’t do a lot of the things I did pre psychosis to help stay well (drinking alcohol for example) but I haven’t had a full relapse in the past six years 🤍
