psychosis

[So_It_Goes]

anyone ever experience delusions or hallucinations during an episode? I did two years ago, it was really traumatizing and i don’t think I’ve recovered. My doctor tries to reassure me that it was medication induced but I still can’t cope.

Any suggestions or tips would be really helpful. I regressed so much afterwards and basically became a shut in.

I did. My episode was also medication induced. I was put on a medication that sent me on a high. I also have bipolar.This was in 2014, l have recovered fully now if that gives you any consolation. I know you can geel embarrassed for some time afterwards but just keep reminding yourself it was out of your hands.

Thank you so much ❤️ honestly after I posted this I had so much anxiety I couldn’t even look at my phone bc it was the first time I’ve ever really said it out loud to people who may understand.

It’s really encouraging that you had one too and as a result of medication (not that I wish that on anyone, ever), but it’s comforting to know that someone else gets the embarrassment. It’s like I know on some level it wasn’t in my control and I shouldn’t feel a sense of shame but I find myself not being able to move past it still.

Any suggestions on how you were able to piece things back together afterwards?

I suppose I was determined to move forwards instead of backwards. Taking it day by day.
