twice…first time I went off my meds and said to myself it was just a nervous breakdown…then the second time I was almost killed by seven months of being delusional…it’s all in the book.

I am not certain actually. I could have ongoing low level psychotic symptoms even now, how can I tell. But anyway I have had at least one major psychotic break, thankfully it was dealt with by antipsychotic promptly when I got some. Might have lasted quite some time, fuzzy on the details afterwards. Took a long time to recover, partially, at least a year.

once in 2003 when I was involuntarily hospitalized for self-harm and wanting to harm others haven’t had psychosis since, just every so often I get paranoid and have evil thoughts but never acted on them nor would I or it would be jail time for murder or assault if I acted on the thoughts I have had.

Do you remember how long it lasted

No. I don’t really.

I was only in psychosis for like 2 weeks each time before hospitalization.

Then there were residual symptoms for a couple months after getting out.

Only once in 2005-2006 I was so seriously traumatized by my own psychosis that I said “never again” and haven’t been psychotic since that. I take my meds and try to take care of myself. Today I suffer from other sort of mental issues mostly. I have had a few “close calls” where I was going towards psychosis but the progress has been stopped by my mental health medical team. I am very committed to my recovery.

I’ve been to the psych ward 3 times. I still have trouble telling what is real. I try to enjoy my life.
