I thought I was cured

[Mamadubois22]

Everyone kept telling me to just do the things my psychosis made me scared to do. I thought I was sliding back BUT I knew it wasnt reality. Now I am thinking my thoughts are in fact reality. I just have no idea how to even start getting past this.

Hello Mamadubois22

I'm so sorry you are struggling to get past how you are feeling with your thoughts, it must be frightening for you. Has the change in medication from Unisom helped in any way? I'm not sure about care in the USA but is it possible you can ask for an urgent review with the mental health team? During my psychosis I heard a voice and had delusions, hallucinations, but eventually a medication was found which faded these symptoms over time.

I mentioned in your other thread "Trauma Therapy" that you might find advice and support locally via Postpartum Support International at postpartum.net/ depending on which State you are living in. I think it would be good for you to talk on the phone to someone about how you are struggling and they may be able to help?

Stay safe and take care .... we are all here to listen.

I will call them tomorrow. Thank you! They put me back on meds but they help a lot with my mood. Just not so much the paranoia

Hello Mamadubois22

I hope you will be helped and reassured tomorrow. I think it takes a while to find the right balance of medication but it is a very frightening experience while you're waiting! I hope you can rest tonight. Take care.
