I have had hallucinations and psychosis once. It just happens and you think it's real and don't question it. If you are aware, then I wouldn't worry. It is unlikely. I had to be told what I did and said. You wont even know when it happens.
Kim, I don’t believe she was saying has psychosis, so don’t you dare label her with that, or tell her she doesn’t have it. You have ZERO idea of what could be going on. You don’t even know her mental state or what she is taking from her provider. And psychosis IS NOT the ONLY thing in the DSM V. or with physical conditions that can cause it, so don’t go around and assume people have psychosis as a first line of advice. Makes me sick to even read your comment.

If you had taken the trouble to read all the replies before answering me in such a rude and insulting manner you would know that the reason I mentioned psychosis at all was because another person posting had introduced the idea that she might have psychosis and I was giving a gentle message that this was unlikely. I would never have suggested it myself because I know that it is a damaging idea to bring in.
I agree that we no nothing of her condition and that is why I suggested her talking to her GP.
Please ensure you read things properly before you respond in future and also try to communicate in a respectful non insulting way from now on.
Kim, I read every post completely. You were the FIRST one to pop out to me. Because of your rude manner towards her. You we the one deeply talking about psychosis. Please reframe from doing so in the future, as it can be damaging to the other party. Thank you.

The reply I did to you came back to me so I will write it to you again because as far as I am concerned I have strong grounds for a complaint against you.
It is irrelevant that you saw my post first. What matters is what the post was that went to her first.
If as I said you had read all the thread properly before throwing insults in such an unprofessional and rude manner you would have seen that I was replying after someone else who had raised the issue of psychosis before my reply. I, like you think this is potentially damaging so I was very gently trying to reassure her it was unlikely she had psychosis because the person who posted the first answer to her, before me raised it as a possibility. This is what they said: " I have had hallucinations and psychosis once ....... if you are then I wouldn't worry."
My post in no way could be considered insulting but both of your posts are extremely rude, insulting and unprofessional and you owe me an apology or you will be very fortunate if I do not take the matter further.
It is not relevant which came to you first it is what she would have read first that counts. I was contradicting the assumption that she may have psychosis is a polite way. The poster before me had put" I had ..... and psychosis once...... if you are then I wouldn't worry...." You can hardly argue that that is not mentioning it._
Noone could argue that my post to her was in any way rude. You however are continuing being extremely rude to me for no reason at all.
Your only appropriate course of action now is to apologize.
Kim, you are acting irrational, and very unprofessional. You made it seems like psychosis couldn’t hurt her, and that it couldn’t affect her life which is completely wrong. You honestly need to think before you post, or put the phone down, and take a breath, and learn not to use emotions into writing things. Also, you were the one, I will say again deeply talking about her having potential psychosis. You don’t have the authority or education to diagnose that, or even mention it. Please reframe from doing so, as you could hurt the other part more. And your drastic comments could also hurt the party more. I am holding back right now, as I could call you out for so many things you have done, but I’m not, as I DONT want to affect the other party. Thank you.
I was saying I had psychosis and hallucinations and that it was not likely. I meant if you are aware then it is unlikely. I can see how it was misleading. Sorry.
Hello dbeck. I am unsure as of what is happening to you as I don’t have full details, I don’t want to tell you that you have something and you don’t with first knowing you conditions, and medications. If you would like to discuss these in private you may message me anytime, I will respond ASAP! I’m also here to help and listen to you aswell. I know it mental health can be a pain, but we must all stick together and power through it. I will be thinking about you!

dbeck128: I had my first bout with depression years ago. After taking many different meds something finally worked. but one of the meds I took was an absolute nightmare. I became afraid to get out of bed. I stopped showering and would have stopped eating but my wife forced me to eat scrambled eggs and toast. This prick doctor told me not to stop the drug cause the side effects would pass and were no doubt all in my mind. since then I have never listened to doctors. If a drug makes me feel worse I stop taking it. Anyway I got worse and worse. I decided to stop taking it and against that idiots advice I went off it cold turkey. First I heard voices, a man and woman arguing about me. The man said I was useless, the woman stuck up for me. I was drenched in sweat and the smell was awful. It was coming out of my pores. I felt something in the pit of my stomach slowly rising. It was like a horror film. I became convinced that I was giving birth to an alien! and it would eventually cause me to vomit it up as it slowly kept getting closer to my throat. I refused to eat the eggs because I was so nauseous. Then this dog started barking outside. I could tell it was a big dog and I was terrified it would come up and eat me. I was on the fourth floor!! How it would get up there I have no idea. After3 days of hell 80% of my fear had left me. I got up and had the longest shower of my life, stripped the bed, it was August so only sheets. I then drenched the mattress in room deodorizer, turned it over and washed everything twice. I went into the living room and had a beer. When my wife got home she was amazed at what I had done and the change in me. Nothing like that has ever happened again. So try and get over your fear of being psychotic. Anti-depressants are powerful drugs that can mess with your head in horrible ways. I hope my horror story helps.....Robert cass
