Understanding my psychosis

Understanding my psychosis

I have been youth psychosis program in Headspace For 2 years for a (drug induce psychosis)

have made a full recovery from the psychosis but I have been contemplating seeing the old therapist for just one session to ask the questions

why I didn’t feel any guilt in that phase of my life ?

why do u not feel any guilt now for the things I did back then ?

why did I not feel any sympathy towards anyone during that phase in my life ?

I also want to know why even now when somebody mentions something bad that happened in that period why I don’t really know/ care about it right now ?

It’s almost like what happened wasn’t me (not even trying to deflect or not take responsibility but that’s how I feel.


If I stepped on a dogs toe tonight I would feel super bad, and in 3 weeks if you mentioned that I stepped on the dogs toe I would go back to that moment in my mind and feel bad again.

But if some one mention things 100 times worst from that period I would genuinely not feel anything (yes I would fake emotion to seem normal)
But yeah I wouldn’t really care

do you guys have any answers to these questions ?

and for future references what would I say to the close friends that I lost through my crazy actions/behaviour/lies/manipulation ect.

if they wanted to get answers for how I was.

thanks a lot for taking the time to read this.

cheers

Elliot

Re: Understanding my psychosis

Thanks again @Elliot @I just contacted headspace and we are slightly out of the catchment zone but they will still hopefully be able to help sorry another question if you don't mind, with your episode that lasted a year, were you still smoking marijuana during this time or had you stopped but still had the thoughts etc

Re: Understanding my psychosis

Good afternoon @Kellyil and @Elliot. Welcome to the forums!

Its great to see you both connecting here and offering support and information to each other. I am just wanting to chime in here and remind you both of our anonymity guideline:

The SANE Forums are anonymous to help members feel they can share personal experiences without worrying about being identified. Your SANE Forums member name must be different to your own name and different to member names you have on other social media. You may have only one SANE Forums member account.

Do not publish:

  • your name
  • your addresses - postal or email
  • your member names on other social media services
  • the name of your workplace, uni or school
  • any other information by which you could be identified in real life.

Its super important for everyone's anonymity and safety that members do not contact each other outside the forum or reveal identifying information. I realise it is tempting to get in touch when you connect with someone here on the forums, but please refrain from doing this.

Hi @Jupiter I'm sorry we broke the guidelines. Can i ask how do I start a thread? Maybe becuase I am sooo tired I don't know but I can't see to see where to start a thread for conversation?

Re: Understanding my psychosis

No worries @Kellyil it's easy to miss the guidelines when you're a new member

I responded to another post of yours explaining how to post a new thread here.

Take care!
