Recovering from a psychotic episode at the moment.

Recovering from a psychotic episode at the moment.

Friday, the week before last, the voices in my head began taking over and soon after that i lost touch with my reality off and on until later Tuesday morning.Thank God i did nothing stupid, nor did i damage my relationship with my wife, as has happened in times past when psychotic.

Since late Tuesday morning no more voices, so that is good, but i'm so very tired and still not able to sleep. The problem i'm paranoid to drug myself out, because sleepers often don't work when i'm like this, and then i still wont be able to sleep, but will feel absolutely horrible from the sleepers confusing and clouding my mind, still running non stop anyhow. So when i take sleepers when in this state i run the real risk of making things worse rather helping me get some rest.

Hey 3am

Currently i'm having real problems sleeping as my mind wont stop!!!😪 i know from past psychotic times, i best let the mental energy flow run its natural course as much as possible, until my mind calms down enough to get more sleep.

Anyone else runs in these problems?

Sorry to hear that @DownMoreThanUp . Have you had any therapy for the trauma? Eg EMDR?

I had a bad day too. I had an appt with my psychiatrist and I feel he's tired of the therapeutic relationship and dislikes me.

@DownMoreThanUp hugs and hugs DownMoreThanUp . i hope you are resting now and will soon fall asleep. my second son is plagued by bad thoughts. he finds talking about them really helps. i am going to try and get some decent sleep now but will check on you later on. take care my friendxx

@tyme @Bunniekins @Dimity

Thanks for responding the support button ceased once more but i do appreciate your sympathetic responses. Yes i have had counselling for C.P.T.S trauma, and i'm using the technics i have been taught dealing with them. Still very down but thew anxiety has lessened, i had a bit of talk with my wife when she came home from work, she is the most loving person in my life, and the weekend is coming. i'm sure that will help. i hope i catch some sleep, i wouldn't be surprised if it will take a sleeper to shut my mind off.😵

Re: Recovering from a psychotic episode at the moment.

@Bunniekins Thanks for seeking me out. When i got up during the night i felt terrible so i took a sleeper and went back to bed. i got 5 1/2 hours all up in the end, so not too bad.

Very down today, and feeling unwell. It looks like this is one of these day you want to forget about.

@Bunniekins Thanks good to know. Thanks for being there for me. That means a lot.

i do not really have any energy to write extensively at the moment, but i hope i will pick up. Did take some remedies that help fight the exhaustion but so far not working yet.

Re: Recovering from a psychotic episode at the moment.

@DownMoreThanUp hope remedies work soon. whats the weather like over there? can you sit outside for awhile in the fresh air? i find sitting outside really helps me when i am feeling down. im going to have a lil nap soon. is cloudy and will be hot today 30 degrees forecast. xx

Re: Recovering from a psychotic episode at the moment.

@Bunniekins My remedies are not working yet unfortunately. The weather is cool but nice, i have already spend time sitting outside, i love doing that when down.

Find it hard to keep my head up at the moment, have not been this low for awhile.😞
