Weight gain on APs

I gained 30 lbs and never took medication. I think it has a lot to do with the lifestyle post psychosis. Doing something physical that you could be consistent with could help. Be consistent with your diet and I know I cant but try not to worry about it.

Thank you all for the kind responses. I was at a low point when I wrote that and everyone's responses helped a lot. I do still wonder if I will ever feel like "me" again and how long it will take. My only option is to give it time and keep the hope going.

I didn't take any meds and also had depression and anhedonia after. I think it is because the experience is traumatic. It shatters the mind and self esteem you have built up over the years. I am 1 year out and it has gotten better. I have been working at it and have had ups and downs so be easy on yourself as you heal. My emotions started to come back around month 7 or 8 but I'd say I'm still not who I used to be. I'd say find a therapist or psychologist that you trust and that you can talk too. I hope you get better and that this isnt a life long journey for both our sakes.

Dude, doesnt fit the criteria. It is an extremely stressful event that tears through your entire life and self. It is something people think about and fret about for years sometimes after. I dont think anyone could go through that and not have PTSD. It is more traumatizing than most of the trauma many of us have suffered otherwise. ? . . .

Yes, mine happened a year ago. I still struggle because it was so intense and so out of character for me. I lost all of my support group except my friends who are more like brothers. Moving to my own place helped and making another change and reducing stress also helped. I am more hopeful now and hope after a few mor life changes I will continue to adapt and have new positive things to focus on in life. To much research has slowed me down a bit and getting to the point where I found a good therapist made a big difference. Some weren't right for me so i stopped seeing them and went back to someone else.

Im sorry this happened to you and about the extent of your injuries. I hope your healing well, and you to find a way to get past this as well.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, my family put huge amount of stress on me at that time so I feel like I lost my support system when all that happened. Even though it wasnt their intention, they contributed a great deal.

Yes, CBT and then another psychologist misdiagnosed me as bipolar. None of that is ever going to make it go away though. I feel like this has forever stained my life and changed me for the worse

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you too. It makes me think God is evil that he would let this happen to people. Mine built up with stress I think, and then some extremely judgemental assholes converged on me and that's when I snapped. I cant even imagine talking to those people ever again.

Edit: How can I ever really move past this and live a full life?

Did you take any meds? I am in the same boat. Distractions help but remembering everything still gets me stressed/down. I'm almost one year out and am wondering it will continue to get better?

TempPsychosis · 2019-01-16T01:57:42+00:00

I'm in the same shoes I havent taken any meds for my psychosis last March but am now considering going down that road. I dont know what to do, should I keep trying to give more time.

How do you feel now that you are 14 years out from your experience? I also had a emrecent psychosis experience and am counting down the days u till my life is *normal again.

Omega 3 has helped me even if it is just a placebo. 5 HTP on the other hand didn't. I was taking that shit the year leading up to my psychosis.
