Overwhelming fear of death
Hi everyone, I had PP last August out of the blue, and recently had a lot of stress that triggered similar feelings around the fear of death as ones I had with my initial episode. I called the crisis line and was really worried I would relapse. They said it is likely PTSD as it comes up to a year anniversary

Dreams about PPP
Hi everyone, I just woke up this morning after experiencing disturbing dreams about psychosis. Has anyone experienced strange dreams about their experience? I’m sure it’s common but wanted to know other people’s experiences. I only experienced PPP last August, so fully expect these dreams won’t go

olanzapine
My husband without my knowledge was skipping some days of taking his olanzapine. He had a psychotic episode. The PA filling in for a dr was taking him off some meds (depakote) and up with others. Nothing was working so I requested a dr. He was originally on 5 mgs. The dr. Put him back on depakote and

Undiagnosed PP
Hi Everyone, I am new here after coming across APP recently. I was very unwell after having my daughter 3 1/2 years ago, and I have finally come to terms with that fact it was PP. Unfortunately this was missed by many professionals at the time, the midwives on the ward following the birth, the perinatal

Finding the right medication
Hi everyone I've been on a few medications now, Olanzapine is the current one I'm on. I'm still struggling to accept that everything I went through was psychosis, so I'm finding it really hard to move on. I'm not sure it's the right medication for me as I often think about the psychosis and feel like

Talking about PPP
I had PPP in November 2023 after the birth of my beautiful daughter. I was in a psychiatric ward for 10 days and MBU for 5 weeks. I still take a mood stabiliser but off antipsychotics and have been for a few months. My closest friends and family know what happened, with my family being a great support

2.5 years postpartum. He still hates me
hi, I am nearly 2.5 years since I gave birth to my son in which I suffered postnatal psychosis and was in an MBU for a while with my son then I was transferred to an acute MH ward without him for a few months. I've suffered with my mental health since this but not to the extreme I was then. Things
