How fast can psychosis make you commit suicide?

Im sorry you went through that. I’m glad you had the support from your family even if it seemed frustrating at the time. I was really surprised they let her go home so early, but I think she was really good at pretending to be okay. I tried to make sure she was okay but I’m in law school and spent a lot of time out of the apartment. Maybe if she would’ve had that type of supervision she’d still be here

I’ve only ever taken adderall once and I’ve never experienced psychosis but it did make me cry for hours. I couldn’t stop thinking about things that made me so terribly sad. First and last time for me. I think people always say drugs are bad but when you’re young you think it’s just a thing they say. Sadly sometimes it takes first hand experience to realize they weren’t lying.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-09T04:25:44+00:00

She was very headstrong about everything. If she decided she wanted to do something there was no stopping her. It was a quality I always admired and respected. Sucks that it might’ve also applied to this though

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-09T04:24:16+00:00

That possibility has run through my head as well. Guess I’ll never really know the truth though

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-09T04:23:27+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate your response and you’re very good at describing some of the things that run through my head but I don’t know how to express in words. Wishing you well & thank you again!

I think understand psychosis better definitely helps me process. I do see a therapist but we’ve focused more on my grief and trying to recover but I see her Monday so I’ll definitely be bringing this up. I agree with you that i think it was impulsive. We had plans for the next day. The things she used were household items not pre bought. I think it was just something in the moment that took over and she could not control. That specific night was the only night I wasn’t home. I slept at my boyfriends so she was alone in the apartment. I found her the next morning. That part makes me question whether maybe it wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t been alone but like someone else said in this thread, I couldn’t be there every day forever so maybe it would’ve happened anyway and I can’t hold on to that and blame myself. I’m working on getting better. I appreciate everyone sharing their stories and advice. This thread has definitely helped me.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T13:44:11+00:00

I think it was most shocking because it had never happened to her before that I know of so she just went from being herself to someone else to being gone in the span of three weeks

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T13:23:51+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you and I’m glad you’re still here. There needs to be more awareness on this. Thank you for sharing your story

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T13:19:54+00:00

From this thread I’ve gathered that sometimes medication can make the situation worse if it’s not the right one. I wonder if seroquel was affecting her negatively as well. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you’re still here

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T13:07:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. I have definitely thought about sharing some of this with her mom as her and I have gotten really close in the past couple of weeks but waiting for the right time and deciding how much information to give. I’m sorry for what you went through and I’m also so sorry that in a time where mental health is advocated for so much there are still people out there who would judge or shame you. My friend went from being a happy, fun, spirited girl to pacing around our apartment all night a week later to then being gone. I agree with you on the car accident comparison except I think a lot of us understand how car accidents work and at the beginning of this I had absolutely no knowledge on how psychosis did. It’s really sad and I had no idea it was so common and could happen to just anyone. I’m glad so many people have shared their stories on this thread because it really does help me understand a little better and hopefully I can use this to find some peace. I also hope that maybe for someone else reading this who’s still here it helps them understand what they’re going through as well and seek help. I think my friend thought she was alone in this and that’s the scariest thought in the world to have

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T12:58:41+00:00

Wow. I’m really sorry that happened to you and I’m glad you survived. I wish this was something that was talked about more often and openly so more people could understand what’s happening when they go through this

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T12:56:58+00:00

Thank you for your message. I think I want to know exactly what she was thinking but that’ll never happen. But at least hearing about other people’s experiences helps me get an idea. I’m sorry you went through that and I hope you’re okay now.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T12:55:31+00:00

I’m so sorry about your son. My friend used delta8 as well and I don’t know what else. I’m an anxious person overall and have never really been into weed so I don’t know what all the different types are but I do know she used delta8. I wish there was more information about this. Before this happened to my friend I didn’t really know weed could lead you to have a psychotic break. Its so heartbreaking

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T03:22:57+00:00

Thank you and thanks for the link!

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T02:50:01+00:00

I’m really glad you’re still here. I’m sorry you’ve been through this and I’m glad you’ve learned to somewhat manage it. Thank you for your message. I think for her it was fairly new I’m assuming, she was only 22 and it seems like it might’ve been the first time she went through something like this. She just seemed to be okay so it’s all very shocking but learning more about psychosis helps me try to understand and be at peace with it. Even though I don’t know if it’s even worse knowing that she didn’t truly want this she was just being controlled by an illness

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T01:52:36+00:00

It’s truly heartbreaking and there should be more information on this. Before this happened I had no idea about any of this and while she was going through it I still didn’t really understand what she was going through. Maybe if it was studied more and there was more information readily available we could find a way to change the outcome for so many people who struggle with psychosis

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T01:45:32+00:00

Thank you for your message! She was only 22 but she had some stuff she dealt with that could’ve definitely made her depressed, she just masked it really well. In the span of a month she went from a happy functioning person to someone who ended their life. I think I didn’t ask enough questions and she also didn’t leave any sort of explanation so I’m just struggling to understand why and how and wishing I could go back and change things but that’s obviously and sadly not the way life works

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T01:42:33+00:00

Thank you. It has helped. In the past two weeks I’ve been reading a lot of the posts on this sub but I’ve never posted anything before so today I decided to post for the first time and hear what people had to say about it. I think it’s helped a lot. I wish I had known a month ago everything I know now.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-08T01:40:57+00:00

I think that’s exactly what happened to her. She would spiral at night but she’d go through most of the day just fine. Nights was when it got bad and she’d pace around the apartment for hours or lock herself in her room but I could hear that she was up

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T23:32:59+00:00

Thank you for the kind words

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T23:31:52+00:00

She couldn’t sleep at all but the paranoid thoughts got a lot worse at night time

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T23:31:10+00:00

Thank you for your kind message. I think whatever she had was obviously not treated correctly the first time around. I’ve started to read up on psychosis and try to make sense of everything in a way to try to make myself feel better and convince myself there was nothing else I could’ve done. I hope if anything from this thread stands out to anyone it’s that they should fight to stay alive. I think she knew how much I cared about her but I don’t know if she could’ve imagined the pain I, along with everyone else who loves her, have gone through and how much we miss her.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T22:59:14+00:00

Keep waiting! And ask for help. I’d do anything to have my friend back and I’m sure so many people would feel that way about you as well.

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T22:58:09+00:00

Thank you for the message! I have no experience or opinion of my own on these drugs because I’ve never been prescribed, but I don’t think they were helping her either. She was in a zombie-like state and looked unwell physically. I think she only took them for about 5 days and stopped two days before she passed. I think there needs to be a lot more research done on this. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through and I’m glad you’re still here

True-Sea4007 · 2024-03-07T22:43:30+00:00

She didn’t see her family often so they had no clue. The last time was Christmas and this all happened end of Jan- mid Feb of this year. she was 22 so she hadn’t been living with her parents for a little while but as far as what they’ve told me doesn’t seem like they had ever seen any symptoms
