• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Okay in 05 I went thru a Meth Psychosis. I just came to realize about a yr ago that all of it was a delusion. Now since I was so nieve it helped me but also hurt me. I started using again after it for about 8 months. Then I noticed the thought broadcasting and T.V. talking to me with litl whispers but rememeber I was nieve so it didn't bother me that much. I came to the cross of Salvation after that 8 month period in 06. Well I havn't used meth since 08. I relasped. Only used once but, then the Pure-O hit. And thinking I was at God's judgment is not to fun. It's alitl of that psychosis with OCD in it. I've had to for almost three yr's push thru those thought's about Judgment and I haven't smoked meth since. I'm not saying meth is what caused me pure-o but it was around that time. Now if I slip up and hang with friend that are no good I may smoke a bowl of weed and this throws me all off. Which I'm beginning to see that meth psychosis is an illness thats last yr's or maybe your whole life but, it's not as bad as schizophrenia. Does anybody here have any idea's on what I'm trying to say?

Yes, I have gone through drug and alcohol psychosis. I'm glad you are off the meth. for your own sake. I recommend Narcotics Anonymous, counseling and a psychiatric check up if you have not had one. Praying for you sweetie.

Ya I see a pdoc every month and I was just hoping it would go fully into remission. The tricky part about it tho was that 8 month period I was using again and also getting off these meds are just as bad as smoking and coming down. So All in all I just need prayers that God guides me thru thick and thin. Thank you Ruth!

A pre excisting mental disorder is what it triggered and now I just have to go thru life with Schizophrenia. No one in my family has the disorder but it would of sure been nice if I didn't have it. I have negative symptoms like social withdrawal on top of nightmares and OCD. but all in all I'm in better spirits then when I went thru it six yr's ago.

I think since my episode was so bad. I mean I was in jail for 4 months not even knowing how to use the phone. I wasn't talking, I was to scared to. The psychosis was getting worse and
worse. I got beat up and I moment came to me where I said I need to call to get out. I was scared of my roommates. I thought everybody where cannibals. And this episode lasted for like 7 months. So You can see it's going to take a long time to heal. I've abstained from everything but my psych meds. I still have delusions to this day. I still fight the anxiety. OCD well IDK if I even have OCD or it's just apart of the episode that is healing. I was reading somewhere that it can take up to 10 yr's to heal. I'm fine with that as long as I don't have to deal with it the rest of my life.
