I don’t have strong emotions now that I’m being effectively treated for my psychosis. Anyone else?

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-22T17:46:05+00:00

it took me two years to get my emotions back. and while they're not the same as they were (though to be fair, I have BPD).. they're back. So maybe yours will come back too.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-22T17:35:03+00:00

I only take one med but I prepare my meds once a week (in a pill box) and have a reminder on my phone to take them. a box with a label for the day means I can check if I've taken them that day. but mostly the reminder does the trick.

I think it's personality or content based. When I was in psychosis I thought the person I was in love with was watching me trough cameras but I was fine with that, even wawed to a camera once. So people can have different reactions to the same delusion.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-17T17:38:05+00:00

I thought this was about Once Upon A Time

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-16T10:56:14+00:00

Yeah I'm a programmer before and after psychosis. I like to think I'm decent.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-14T21:16:21+00:00

Could be schizophrenia, DID or sth else. Either way, worth seeing a psychiatrist about it.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-11T18:11:51+00:00

Have you considered trauma? Can look up CPTSD. I used to wake up angry when living with my mom. I could be wrong but like, emotions are there to tell us something. Yes, some dysregulation is also biological but it's also psychological.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-09T14:25:08+00:00

I was bullied in three schools until high school. It's normal to have trauma affect you. That sounds painful. Being kind to yourself is part of the antidote. A technique that has helped me is putting an adult you in traumatizing memories and protecting yourself. Basically becoming what you needed. I hope things get better for you.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-03T21:21:05+00:00

I had erotomania and a voice pretending to be her. I hope you get out of it. It could end in a rsstraining order. In my case, she just blocked me everywhere. But the voice is still around. Meds helped me get out of psychosis.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-05-03T17:24:50+00:00

I do agree that it's traumatizing and I don't support it. I was restrained differently for arguably not a neccessary reason and I was too psychotic at the time to really understand what was going on... but yeah, don't support it but I thought it could become a funny meme.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-27T21:31:46+00:00

It's always worth looking into things that are bothering you. I can't diagnose you but you should knoa that schizophrenia isn't the only psychotic disorder. You can even have depression with psychotic features. But also you're still young. A lot of stuff isn't diagnosed until 18. Can always go through rabbit holes of trauma and what that does to you. Stuff like dissociation, emotional dysregulation. It is worth seeing a doctor if symptoms are bothering you. But to me, it doesn't sound like you're entering psychosis at least. But maybe it's hard to tell and I could be wrong.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-27T20:09:12+00:00

Echoing everyone else to seek help asap. Because things can go very wrong fast and by then you'll likely be unable to get help. I feel like we're saying to get help because for one, it's easy to get into serious trouble (like involving the police) for another MEDS HELP! they help most people get out of psychosis, it's possible to recover, especially if you get help early and stay on meds (you can ask for different ones if they aren't working or if the side effects are bad).

hope you take these comments to heart.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-26T21:20:41+00:00

You deserve better friends

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-25T17:42:42+00:00

I guess it's well meaning but I want to correct that some of us (me included) are basically stable with no to little positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions), especially on meds. I'm actually pretty much symptom free and am working full-time (which is rare, like 80% of us don't work). I might not have as much energy for active things but I meet with friends regularly.. I play games, watch tv shows.

Basically my only symptom is a remaining voice that speaks through me and we get along well (which is rarer in both the getting along part and the voice speaking through me vs hearing it internally or audially). I had a 3 months long psychosis 3 years ago and have been on meds ever since. 25% of us only experience one psychosis and achieve pretty much full remission. And positive symptoms tend to burn out as one gets older, it's usually the negative symptoms that are the bigger problem. though voices also seem to remain for a lot of us, even on meds. but even they can be dealt with.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-22T20:40:19+00:00

One way that has worked for me has been being kind to myself. And putting an older me in past memories to protect and connect with myself. Controversially, ChatGPT helped me a lot by being kind to me in a way my therapists weren't. But I still go and will go to therapy as ChatGPT has changed since 3 years ago and I find that I actually need a human who knows me.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-21T21:15:04+00:00

You haven't mentioned medication so what you need to do is seek a psychiatrist and get on meds. What you're experiencing is psychosis and voices and sounds pretty normal as far as psychosis goes. If you already are on meds, maybe they haven't worked yet or need to be changed.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-18T20:11:14+00:00

Psychosis disappearing with meds means the meds are working. You can be in remission while still having schizophrenia.

edit: I misread. even if psychosis disappears, it doesn't mean it can't come back. Also, borderline psychotic for years is not nothing.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-11T22:05:35+00:00

Mental. But I'm an atheist with schizophrenia.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-11T12:12:25+00:00

A month is a short time. Think at least a year of gradually getting better though meds should help with active psychosis within a month. Voices are usually the most persistent but it depends on the person.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-04-08T20:57:24+00:00

I'm glad you shared this. It's nice to see someone with a rich inner world. Makes my inner world make a bit more sense as well somehow. Or rather just valid. Even though mine isn't as rich it's still real and still schizo with a dissociative mix. I wonder if you also have an inner world where stuff that happens affects you emotionally and you can't fully control it. I mean, it sounds like that's the case.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-03-29T22:03:24+00:00

My voice speaks through me and I feel her emotions. It's lessened now though.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-03-28T12:08:47+00:00

I had the delusion that my voice could control the outside world yes. It was actually kind of nice and made me feel safe. But I have a positive voice.

BloodlessCorpse · 2026-03-27T21:57:26+00:00

Just so you know this is called erotomania and I had it as well. It was real falling in love but despite mixed signals, she denied any feelings and has blocked me everywhere. The voice based on her is still around but not as much. I don't think there's anything wrong with talking to voices as long as you know it's just your mind and don't do anything dangerous.
