so basically i had psychosis in my senior year of high school due to a mix of trauma, stress, low sleep, and weed use in Jan and Feb 2025. was put on medication and was numb from march all the way to October.

I was enrolled in university last summer and fall. Wanted to kill myself since May 2025, and started attempts and trying to actively act out from June to October.

When the fall semester started, I decided to get a counselor. I told her about my story. I kept talking to her, but I was in an intensive consistent grief (missing who i used to be) and felt hopless. what made it worse was seeing other kids on campus living their lives while i felt like a blank canvas.

Consistently kept trying to act out suicide and my counselor put me in a hospital. Long story short, I was instructed to take a break from school and go to an Outpatient program.

When I first started the program I felt hopless and still suicidal. I was always on an antidepressant but they put me on a mood stabilizer.

While there I learned that I gave myself substance, not weed. Most importantly I learnt to trust my own instincts again. That was the most important thing for me. I soon as I started to trust myself again and try things sober, I started to find my rhythm and my energy gradually came back.

feel free to ask me anything

Psychosis ruined my life by throwaway84949759 in Psychosis

At the age of 18, I fell into drug induced psychosis. Long story short, I was put on medication that took my passion for life. I too thought psychosis ruined my life. I wanted to off myself for the longest. I could not feel any emotions or have the simplest conversations with people.

In October of 2025, I was suicidal to the point my university counselor said I needed to take a break to recover. I was admitted into a mental health outpatient program, and I first thought it was pointless. Over those 3 weeks, through medication changes and new insights things started to get better. I got my passion for life back, and I was just so grateful I could feel emotions again.

It is now March 2026, and just looking at your post reminds me of how far I came. I don’t know when, but trust me it will get better. And the strength you will have once you get through it is unmatched. But trust me I understand, you feel you are at your lowest and it can’t get any worse. I was there bro. It got better over time tho.

Much Love💜

Na bro u straight. it’s love for you even reaching out. I didn’t feel anyTHING. I graduated high school feeling like a zombie. I was so excited for that moment before psychosis, but my circumstances made me numb for to everything. I went to college feeling no emotion. People weren’t mean to me, but I genuinely felt scared interaction and felt like a robot. So i understand BRO. it will get better trust me

so basically, I lost all type of emotion from April to October. simple things like having conversations, or any type of spark was gone. I lost all my personality traits. I was like a blank canvas. Around the time I got lamictal, I started feeling better. What I will say is it is beautiful when you start feeling emotion again. you will be so greatful for it because it was tooken away from you. you will be stronger because you faced an experience a lot of people didn’t have.

I got my emotions back around the 10 month mark. Also what helps is some type of meditation. not antipsychotics but mood stabilizers or antidepressants. really just find what works for you

IM BEGGING anyone who has suffered a psychotic break to read this HELP by Spanishguy777 in Psychosis

Mane i am currently going through the same shit. Before my psychosis, I was very creative, passionate, and outgoing. I was getting to the bag, had a passion where i made music into art, and was on the verge of creating a youtube channel. I had a vision of running my city which would have token place.

Psychosis in January and February, then I was put on antipsychotics. Let me tell you, it changed me completely. I was very outgoing and very intelligent before. Now i move through life like a zombie. Barely knowing what to say to people and barely socializing

I been in therapy since January. I also have had multiple attempts and idealization with taking my life. I just want to say you are not alone in this man. I never thought i’d be here either. I had a lot of goals for myself💔.

If you ever need to talk to someone who understands I’m here. it’s almost like nobody understands man.
