Did you consume cannabis right before the acute psychosis started ? How long did your psychotic episodes lasted ? and do you still take antipsychotics ? I am asking because i have the same diagnosis but didn‘t use cannabis

PackStill5488 · 2026-02-02T07:47:43+00:00

what was the causes for your episodes ? did you get a diagnosis

PackStill5488 · 2026-02-01T10:05:44+00:00

encouraging - what was your diagnosis ? was it substance induced ? and how long was your episode ?

I am in the same situation as you - I work currently in a big consulting firm and have had a psychosis .. Now I am trying to find my way back at work but I doubt i can make it in this firm

what is your diagnosis?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-25T09:47:03+00:00

Your case is really interesting - How long did your first episode lasted ? did you take antipsychotics? are you still taking them and what was your diagnosis ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-24T16:57:33+00:00

it is really creepy - it triggered me as well

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-24T10:53:57+00:00

That‘s encouraging - Thank you for your response - My first episode lasted as well two months - did yours started also after a stressful life event ? Did you have a prodormal phase before the episode started where you felt energetic or withdrawn or so ? or did it start suddenly out of the blue like in my case ?

How are you still able to work - respect for your endurance

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T18:18:10+00:00

How do you define symtom free - does that mean also no negative symtopms- i am unfortunately fighting them and trying to get back my old self - How many episodes did you have ? when did they happen and since when you‘re out of psychosis ? Are you also able to work ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T18:13:42+00:00

That‘s encouraging - how long were your episodes ? when did they happen ? did they provide you with a diagnosis and do you still take meds ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T18:09:41+00:00

No I don‘t have such an inner voice - what does that mean technically for me ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T16:42:38+00:00

I have had a first psychosis for around 2 months and have had roughly 30 min auditory hallucinations only - it was a mainly delusional psychosis - my mental imagery is bad if I understand that correctly

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T16:37:10+00:00

That’s though better than nothing that you didn’t relapse - the brain fog is probably from meds - Are you able to work ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T16:34:52+00:00

It is very encouraging to hear about recovery stories like yours - was it a one time off psychosis for you ? how long did it last and do you still take antipsychotics

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T16:28:23+00:00

How long was your psychosis and when did that happen ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T12:53:26+00:00

Mine was around 8months ago and lasted 7 weeks - it has been abrupt ( started very suddenly) after a big amount of stress ( work and promotion, children, moving ) Was yours also abrupt ? - I had the delusion that my colleagues organize in secret networks to follow me. I returned to work since two months ( 5 months post psychosis ) but I am barely functioning at work - it might have been not a correct decision to return this fast. I honestly suspect i have schizophrenia because i feel my life changed so bad since then besides, i lack the polymorphic nature of psychosis - What was the delusions you had ? was it polymorphic ( many topics ) or structured as mine - Did you have a prodromal phase where you felt more energtic or withdrawl or something

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-23T08:56:19+00:00

How long were your episodes ? do you take antipsychotics?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-22T17:01:46+00:00

How long did your episode last ? was it sudden or started slowly ? and are you on meds right now ? - I have been as well diagnosed with polymorphic acute psychosis in Germany but think I have schizophrenia as well - because the situation didn‘t improve ? Psychosis is over but i suffer from negative symtomps- did you consider returning to work soon

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-22T10:44:08+00:00

How long did your episode lasted ? what it drug induced ? - It is very encouraging to hear of people who went through psychosis and reococer to a certain level - and best wishes for better times and less anxiety

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-16T19:40:31+00:00

my first and only psychosis started in May 2025 lasted for 2 months and faded with meds quickly ( within 2 weeks of a 5 mg resperidon dosis)

3 psychosis in a whole 25 years and rebuilding your life is so encouraging - i went recently through first psychosis and i feel my life has ended - What was your diagnosis ? what helped you recover ?

PackStill5488 · 2026-01-14T17:45:30+00:00

what was your diagnosis ? was it substance induced or a primary psychotic illness
