Too complex for bipolar?
I was expecting bipolar diagnosis, but they said I was too complex seeing as so much of it is ocd based, trauma response, very sensitive to hormone changes and all the

and mania.

Relapse of PP yet not had a baby second time
I am 3 weeks into the
psychosis
. The meds seem to be kicking in now. But it’s all so frightening as I am at a mental health ward. I feel I can change and adapt to this new world I am living in. I’m back on olanzapine which I am not too thrilled about but I know it will get me better like last time.

Dissociative disorders
I assumed this was
psychosis
, but my psychiatrists are going to look into dissociative disorders, as I dissociate fairly often. They think I have a lot of trauma and suppressed memories that need to come out. Anyway, when researching this it came up with DID.

I can’t tell reality - psychosis?
I was at my brothers today and kept thinking , “they don’t want me here, screw you all” they have kids. And I didn’t think the kids wanted me there either. But it was the 13 year olds bday and I completely forgot her. That’s what I do to survive. I don’t know what’s going on with me but that’s an intrusive

i am struggling
I am a recent cancer survivor and have an older brother that has schizophrenia... my OCD theme is afraid of
psychosis
/schizo. I hate that I am in true fear of ever developing it because I see the pain my brother goes through. But it's a real thing. It's like I don't know how to process his illness.

Being confident as a mother after post partum psychosis
My husband's brother and his wife are having a baby, baby is due in May. I don't feel jealousy as such. I would feel able to admit to feeling jealous on here because I know many members have been very open about the mixture of feelings they have in their recovery and further on in the future. I am rambling

Re-Admitted to MBU
I had postnatal
psychosis
/a manic episode in the summer. My community team felt that an inpatient stay would help me and the doctors find a treatment plan. They have said I need to be in for three of four weeks. I know from the outside that seems like a short time in the life of my family.

Having a bad time of it even though trying really hard
The psch team are satisfied I'm not full-on in
psychosis
as I can recognise that what's happening with me isn't normal even if I'm not sure if I believe it on and off. Similar to my previous episodes, so maybe that wasn't even PP?

Guilt over choosing to have another baby
I found the forum after I experienced
psychosis
following stopping breastfeeding my eldest daughter in 2021. Quite soon after leaving general psychiatric hospital I fell pregnant again which was a shock at the time but turned out to be the biggest blessing.

This post may contain sensitive topics.
Does anyone relate to sleeplessness related to dreams and nightmares about labor, birth, and PP? I know I probably have PTSD, as I've had a lot of dissociation and derealization since my episode a year ago, but the intrusiveness of the trauma memories and fears is new, as of a couple of weeks ago.

Getting off Zyprexa
Hello everybody! Hope things are well for you all. Thank you for being here and sharing your stories! It is really a precious place to be after surviving PPP. I had my PPP in October last year and since then have been treated with Zyprexa (Olanzapine). I was on 5 mg for 1,5 months, then it was reduced

Getting close to 2nd baby
Hi everyone So I'm 15 days away from my induction date for baby number 2. I had ppp in 2019 and was treated on MBU. I'm giving birth in the same hospital with MBU in case of reoccurrence of pp. My anxiety has definitely increased in the last week or so, and I'm not currently on any medication. Just

Baby no.2 countdown!
So there is lots of faih, trust and good hope but yeah of course the risk remains and sometime I think about the scenario of another
psychosis
…. I find the waiting game for this baby much more challenging though. Whereas last time I quite easily went 1 week overdue.

intrusive thoughts and images
I have battled anxiety and depression with slight
psychosis
, off and on for almost 13 years. Mentally and emotionally I am over the place. I don't usually talk to anyone about my challenges for multiple reasons. One of them being is that I don't want sympathy or pity.

Struggling so much - are these symptoms normal?
I don’t know if any of this is “normal” under
psychosis
or if I’m just now like this. Also, I feel like I’m going through the motions with my baby. I feel so awful about this.
