Disgusted
My brother has been hospitalized 3 times for
psychosis
where I didn't see him for months at a time while he was in the hospital. His first hospitalization is what started my anxiety/depression. I was only 13 and traumatized. Now at the age of 18, I still continue to suffer with anxiety/depression.

New here, I need a hand
For the past 3 weeks I have cried every day and I fear I may have a
psychosis
. I've also had worrying thoughts of suicide. I feel really confused and irrational sometimes. I don't know where I should go for help.

Didn't have "voices" in head only my own constant voice??
The word
psychosis
makes me think of hearing voices and that's what a lot of people assume when I mention the word
psychosis
or anti psychotic medication. Sometimes I wander if I had a nervous breakdown or a mental breakdown and not PP if that makes sense or if that is the same as PP.

Birth plan and meds...
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had a good birth plan template to use (following experience of PP) - I can't really find anything. I had baby boy at 39 weeks, mild PND. Then baby girl at 27 weeks, full blown PP and went to MBU in Birmingham (live in Cornwall!). I've been on lithium for bipolar for

Afraid.
What if I go through
psychosis
. If a coincidence occurs I start to question it and say well why did that happen then I start to think what if I think it's a sign from god or that I'm psychic. I just think about a bunch of things that mean I'm going crazy.

My fiancé has wronged me one to many times. Now I can't forgive her
I've been suffer with
psychosis
for the past year. Before I was medicated I was hearing voices and impulse thoughts were just common day to day life now and I was struggling. I hated life. I worked for a furniture company for years and I was making okay money.

In hospital for the 2nd time in this episode of postpartum psychosis
My bipolar symptoms are under control now it's just the
psychosis
that won't go away. The voices are very strong and demanding and hard to resist acting upon sometimes. They are trying out a last resort medication on me now to see if that makes anything better.

I'm scared I'm going insane ?
It's gotten really bad over the last couple of days, it started off with me being worried I have
psychosis
or schizophrenia. This is because I have derealization 24/7 I feel really out of it and lightheaded. I also feel like I'm disconnected from my family and feel on edge all the time.

Raising awareness of PP
I think that it would have been useful for my family and I to know the symptoms before I spiralled deep into a
psychosis
. So my idea was to contact the NCT to encourage them to mention this illness (its early signs) while they were already discussing mental health.

Reassurance needed
Fortunately I have not had a recurrence of the
psychosis
! Just wanting to hear of other people's experience with recovery as I am becoming very frustrated that I am a long way of being 'me' at the moment. Thank you all.
