Major depression with psychotic features

Dear friend,

It is great that, regardless your feelings, you open yourself up to hope and look for connection in this forum, I think we all are always in the right place by doing so.

On my experience, everything in this world is ruled by polarity; you may be experiencing negativity, odd thoughts, sadness, but the truth is that there is a bit of light. You still know who you are, and you know who you wanna be, so the journey is called recovery. I can appreciate love and self-esteem in your words. To start walking towards a better place, my little advice is that you acknowledge that you are not responsible for all the bad feelings you've got on top. You don't own them, but they are the result of stress and agression that no doubt you might have experienced in one or other manner from the outside world—this world isn't kind all the time really—. But we don't have to put all that (shit) upon our shoulders and pull. We have to be a bit rational, try to be objective and identify those particular facts, situations, people, who have been harmful, then little by little focus well on it, and you will realise that you can justify all your pain, sorrow, fear with wisdom and good criteria, even your psychotic thinking will eventually stop as it was a bad fever that wasn't meant to last forever. Reinforce the good things, love, compassion. We are more that welcome to reject the bad, heavy stuff, and feel free. That's when you will be able to make choices that will bring a good fate, joy and success to you.

OK mate, I hope this words can be useful you to you in any way. And sisnce I am not an English native speaker sorry if my English sounded funny here or there.

All the best.

Hi @Bluelagoon

Welcome to the forums. I have a diagnosis of severe depression with psychosis so maybe I understand what it’s like for you.

I have recently returned to work after having most of last year off being in and out of hospital.

There are lots of friendly people on the forums willing to offer support.

Take care
