Psychosis is the weirdest thing to experience ever. I don’t know how to even put it into words. It’s truly terrifying. It’s like having a filter in the present but I’m trapped in the trauma that I don’t remember in full survival mode. In my brain it’s like I have no choice and everyone knows but they think I don’t know they know. It’s an echo chamber where I’m desperately trying to create connections in unrelated things, there are patterns everywhere and my eyes warp objects into different things. It’s like my senses are disconnected. The worst part is I’m unaware of these things happening and they only really affect my closest interpersonal relationships and it ultimately ends up even more emotionally overwhelming, especially when that loved one refuses to validate my past at that moment is my reality. It’s like screaming for help in silence then being ridiculed for the behavior I’m unaware of that they consider to be crazy. Coping with triggers is one thing, I can deal with those but every once in a while, usually during the time period when the really awful abuse took place, I can slip into the psychosis. It’s dark. It’s isolating. It is terrifying. This doesn’t happen very often and now I am able to recognize the physical symptoms, the sensations in my body and I have a coping skills plan if/when it does. The worst part is the aftermath and trying to explain why I acted the way I did because no matter how hard I try it’s like they refuse to believe it’s a symptom of this disorder, I’m not in full survival panic mode because i chose for my past to haunt me; when they get angry at me because of it, it hurts and doesn’t help.
Hi Nicole. Thank you very much for sharing. I hope we get to see a time wherein technology is advanced enough to erase certain types of psychosis-inducing trauma from a human mind. You are one of the brave ones who's fighting it and has devised coping mechanisms. More power to you. I am with you, and understand you. We will be stronger tomorrow, than we are today. Take care!
❤️ thanks for sharing
Yep it's a nightmare but in real life. Horrid
you managed to put into words what I am unable to... You are not alone... I HAVE HAD THE EXACT EXPERIENCE
Trauma has a direct correlation to psychosis for sure. Not sure why therapists don't say this out loud. My brother was diagnosed with ptsd, social anxiety and fibromyalgia. Add to that, memory problems, low self esteem and cognitive impairment. He often felt like something horrible was about to happen. The primary reason was emotional and sexual abuse in childhood. Disassociation as a child, teen and young adult can lead to a lifetime of psychosis and possibly a diagnosis of schizophrenia. I just hope practicing therapists are more considerate and also encourage people to not stigmatise mental disorders. I thank you for this video.
Hello buddy. I feel for you. I am sure there are a number of practitioners that don't wish to emphasize this link. But there will be others that do for sure. I hope things go well with your brother. Thanks for sharing
Today they are pill pushers the would rather give u a label saying you were born with it that makes u feared by society, than say it's trauma from abuse. Nobody gets therapy the UK hospitals abuse their patients by over drugging and the isolation room. And not allowing you normal things to calm down like a walk or smoke. There's zero holistic care . They put u on drugs that turn you into a fat zombie
I'm not surprised people kill themselves
I find it valuable that you linked these three together rather than treating them as separate entities.
Hi Gregory. Thanks for the feedback. Establishing the link was one of the main motives behind producing this tutorial. And I am glad to know that it does what I wanted it to do. 🙂
I have just had a psychotic episode following a great deal of stress and triggered experiences. It was awful and very frightening. I have been diagnosed with CPTSD. Raised by two narcissistic parents. I'm the scapegoat and have been bullied and ostracised. I had a serious suicide attempt aged 40. I just couldn't mentally cope anymore.
Hi Vanessa. Thank you for sharing. I am sorry about your parents, bullying and the circumstances that followed. These circumstances highlight the failure of the society to empathise with and help people in need. I do hope that you continue to fight on and succeed in finding happiness. Although many people let us down, we still always will find people who give us happiness and accept us. Here's a virtual hug from me and all the subscribers here. Take care!
@@MisterSimplify that's really kind. I appreciate that. I feel like I'm in a prison, just locked in my room day in day out. I don't trust anyone anymore. I seem to be an easy target. Because I'm gentle in nature I think. Thank you for you message.
@@vanessas2363 You're most welcome Vanessa. I understand you. The world is becoming really impersonal, and covid gave people an excuse to become all the more impersonal. But the online community can be quite understanding too. Perhaps you could try speaking to people online to begin with, and then venture out once you're comfortable with it. And it's perfectly fine to spend time indoors with yourself when you're feeling low. I did that recently when I lost my best friend of 28 years to an accident. But don't worry. People like myself are here to read your messages (however delayed the response might be!), and there will be people out there who will treat you the way you want to be treated. Just a matter of time! 😊🤗
@@MisterSimplify thank you. Yes, I've built up an irrational fear of leaving the house. The only contact I have is on here. Thanks
@@vanessas2363 You could try the below link I found which has some useful info on Agoraphobia, which is the fear of leaving the house. As I am not a practising professional (and have nothing to do with this website), this could turn out to be a waste of time in your situation. But until you get professional, you could try reading through this and some links that this leads through to. I see that they have included some coping techniques which could be useful. Hope this helps! 😊

I had psychosis yesterday for 12 hours yesterday. It was like a nightmare and ever since I’ve been educating myself. Scary stuff
Sorry to know this. I hope you're alright now, and have sought professional help in dealing with it
I know someone who was sexaully abused as a child by their father and has ptsd for years and now has phychosis symptoms for the last 12 years.
Hi Taji. That's really sad. I hope your friend responds well to therapy and gets better with time. It's quite tough to see your friends or family experience psychosis. Look forward to a recovery story in due course! Take care!
Everyone in hospital 90 percent had abuse
I’m from a dangerous city Iv had 2 friends die to gun violence I was neglected as a child and partially abused at time sexually abused once by my older brother. Iv almost died in this city from people being violent. I almost went to jail for 20 years for listen to advice from a family member and not reporting tapping someone’s car they convinced me since it was a gentle tap and no damage it wouldn’t be a big deal. I was 6 years locked in a contract with the military where I experience a lot of negative treatment from my higher ups after my legal issues even tho I explained I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong and I overall have been bullied throughout my life I struggle with paranoia and alcoholism. I create false memories sometimes from stress like bumps in the road I’ll go back and think I ran someone over or go home 3 times in a 5 minute span because I’m convinced I left my door unlocked or my dogs got out. I think people are upset with me or disappointed in me on a regular basis. I always think of the worse case scenario. When I get pulled over I’m horrified because I think I’m going to get arrested and be in there for a really long time since they tried to give me a long jail sentence for something I didnt even view as a crime I even think the cop might plant something in my car and I can’t defend myself. I think I battle with psychosis and ptsd. Sometimes I think I have a slight schizophrenia but only when I’m under a lot of stress and fear. Like I’m always concerned someone is going to try to shot me or hurt the people I care about
Hello. Thank you for sharing your tale, and really sorry for all the difficulties you've gone through. The impersonal system that exists in this world is really disappointing. Human beings need to look at the lives of other human beings with respect, compassion and love. This is the only way to survive as a species in the long run. Unfortunately, you came in contact with several people with no compassion or care. the fact that you're here, and told us your story, means that you're a fighter. you will fight on, survive and eventually thrive. There definitely are good people around, and you will be in contact with some fore sure. I am sure that with care, compassion and some professional guidance, you will be able to find happiness in this lifetime. My thoughts and wishes are with you. Take care of yourself! 🤗
Commenting to remind myself to comment on my relevant experiences at a later date.
Hello Fleur. I look forward to your comment! 🙂🙂
I believe I have PTSD and psychosis bc I have been dealing with this my whole life. I’m going to get help hopefully.😢
Hi Fredrick. Thank you for sharing. I hope you do search out professional help. You've done the difficult bit of acknowledging your problem. I am sure you'll now search for professional help. Once you do, you'll start feeling better in due course. Take care and hugs! 🙂👍🤗
Very eye opening, thank you for this information.
You're most welcome Cory! ☺👍
It all makes sense now
🙂
Loved it :)
I love your exceptional videos. Please don't stop!
Thanks
You're welcome buddy! Thankfully, I am not stopping anytime soon!! 😊😊
Thank you for supporting! 🤗
@@MisterSimplify great to hear that from you! 🌹🌹
@@nawafpsy 🤗🤗
The term C-SPTD as in Complex PTSD can be treated with CBT.
Agreed
I didn't think I was crazy till the second divorce. I have been in varying levels of psychosis ever since. Reality just doesn't make sense.
Hi Sam. Sorry to hear this. Multiple heart-breaks can give birth to fundamental trust issues and self-doubt. It's never too late to open up and seek professional help. If not a professional, it would certainly help reaching out to support groups around you. Sharing your tale with others in person is a great therapy. All the best to you!
By trauma, you mean falling from a two wheeler too? My mom did fall on her back of head last year around May month. But we didn't needed a doctor though, she just had some facial heaviness on one side, which lasted for 1-2 days with icing. But now after more than a year she is experiencing some issues like anxiety due to overthinking issues. Can this be early signs for PTSD or pyschosis etc and can it be first related to trauma? How to diagnose if these are because of trauma or usual other alternatives?
Hello buddy. Apologies for the delayed response, and sorry for what you're mom's facing. Physical injuries and over-thinking / stressing can cause tremendous damage to older people. It's possible that she has developed anxiety induced PTSD. Professional in-person diagnosis is highly recommended in such cases. I am sure you would've consulted someone by now. Please follow their professional advise and proper medication. All the best!
How to make sense of hallicunations and delusions?
Hi Nabil. That's not an easy one to answer I am afraid. These symptoms are associated with more than one disorder. An evaluation by a health professional is highly recommended.
So this then means PTSD can cause psychosis?
Hi Michelle. That's unfortunately true. But the link between the two doesn't imply that there's a very high likelihood. In the right social environment, the human mind will be more than willing to fight and get back to day-to-day life. 👍🏻👍🏻
What if someone suffered long term abuse in multiple ways and then there was a stressor like someone stalking and threatening them over a period of years?
@@michellecrabtree3329 Apologies for the delayed reply, Michelle. I was away for a couple of weeks.
A life of continual abuse and stress can definitely cause multiple mental issues in individuals. It can certainly lead to trauma. But at the same time, it might not. Everyone's mind works and copes differently. A person like this should never bottle feelings within themselves. Speaking to friends, family and professional psychologists can make a world of difference, and can prevent mental ailments.

I could answer your questions but tell my story seems like a lot
No problem buddy! Many like to share, and many don't. Regardless, I wish you all the best! 👍🙂
how many ads can you cram into one video
Hmm. RUclips decides on the quantity and quality of ads. I never enable 'non-skippable' ads. So you should be able to skip em. 👍👍
Hi ptsd and psychosis here✌🏽. Its hard sometimes to keep going
Hi Joan. Thank you for sharing. I hope you stay strong and keep fighting. More power to you! 🙂❤
