At age 15 I started out with being convinced I could see everybody’s aura and then thought I could see squiggly lines and distortions all around me. Spent a total of sixty five days in the psych hospital. Since then I’ve had different hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia. I’m 55 now and have been in the psych ward at least 15-20 times in my life. Some years have been worse than others. It’s been hard ngl

Sounds bad I suppose although I never had this idea I am not ill, other people tried to push me the idea I am pretending, not me. But psychosis is a ■■■■■ and takes long to recover from, that much is clear.
Sometimes I think I did fake the beginning of my first psychosis, but then things got out of control and it became a real psychosis. I’ve been commited 3 times in 19 years.
What an amazing word imo ‘‘PSYCHOSIS’’
means so much eh
Same here. 26 years. It was a disaster in the beginning. I could have danced on the freeway. Tw. Its still a struggle to go through.
