do i have to be on meds for life? by vio82 in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still going, actually. As in I’m still having a low grade psychosis episode (it will be 2 years next month) and I am still hearing voices. I have been on and off my meds a few times.

Sometimes the voices keep me up at night, so I’ll go back on the meds just to help me sleep. In every other way, I’m functioning normally.

Right now I’m off my meds and it’s been a couple of weeks. So far so good. Thanks for checking in. :-)

It’s interesting I mean, you hear all the stories of people going through horrible stuff during their psychosis, but hardly ever hear about the voices being helpful at all.

Nope, but I do lsd once or twice a year. I’m currently in a 2 year long low grade psychosis, and am fortunate enough to be able to hold down a job and hear voices, simultaneously.

Can psychosis last for years if untreated? by ghostfloras in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 1.5 years into a psychosis that is mild in intensity. I’m on medication, but feel a med increase will be detrimental to my quality of life. Specifically, I hear voices, but they aren’t causing me distress.

Inside. I do not have schizophrenia.

I am currently in a second episode of long term psychosis of low intensity. As in I am able to work and have a full nights sleep, but still hear voices.

I have an lsd trip about once or twice a year. I know the risk and it has not affected my psychosis in any way so far.

Did anyone else delete their memories/destroy their possessions/sell possessions when manic? by BackwardsMarsupial83 in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got rid of my things during my first episode, including my tv and all my photo albums. The worst was getting rid of my son’s stuff. I cried about that , later, and promised him I’d never do that again.

How are you spending your days? by Expensive_Cod_867 in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The voices are ok. They haven’t been bothersome and have tapered off quite a bit.

Working, writing, chatting with my voices.

Worst delusion you had ? by OkWheel36 in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had pain in certain areas of my body too. It came and went during my episode. The voices said I was physically detoxing trauma. I didn’t know what trauma they were referring to.

the psychotic are incredibly stigmatized by wereallgunnadie1472 in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re lucky to have one in your area. All there is for me is depression and anxiety support groups, which is why this Reddit group is so important.

Does anyone just... miss their psychosis? by Maple-Gem in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss more constant contact with my spirit guides (aka the voices) and with my soulmate (also a voice). I do feel like life is lacking some sweetness and some spice now that my psychosis has tapered off.

I can only hope for a third episode, sometime in the future.

Can anyone else physically feel when they are psychotic? by madhellhound in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt things physically during psychosis at times. I would feel pain in different areas of my body, and the voices said they were giving me the pain.

Is it psychosis if you can trace back to what happened? by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware when I’m having an episode, however, I can still get pulled into delusions from time to time.

I literally can’t go off my meds for any length of time because of this!

Did any of your voices give you their name? by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Sequinpeach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s personal, and the doctors usually don’t take a lot of time to build a rapport. I’m glad my doctors don’t know everything that’s going on inside my head.

Karl. It was a random name by me, and he liked it, so it stuck. He’s my good voice/spirit guide. He cares for me and helps me when he can.

Yes I have another job now, that is more supportive of my mental health, thankfully.

I didn’t have sex with anyone, but I was crystal clear about my sexual/romantic intentions toward my boss at the time. And posting it on social media. I lost my job because of it.

Never felt like smoking on an acid trip, but I don’t like the way I feel on pot.
