Good video to talk about the positives of psychosis. I found it hard to find anything positive for myself at first. If it wasn't for psychosis, I never would have gotten a correct diagnosis. I then would have suffered longer, so a silver lining.

That’s wonderful to hear 😀 and me too! That being the bipolar type 1. What was your diagnosis out of interest - if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

[@kieferjustine9392]

​@@itsmikemcdonnellit is the same, bipolar type 1. 😊

Time and again, the lowest points in our lives end up spurring the change we never knew we needed and/or could actually successfully undergo. I keep a coin on my desk, front: "the obstacle is the way." Rear: "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

This is powerful and so true. I’d like to do the same! How did you make the coin?

it changed my life certainly for the better. without a bottom, there is a good chance i wouldnt have changed my behaviors to lead me to change my life. i would not go to school and major in psychology. there is no way i would be as stoked about life as what i am with out such a terrible time and dealing with more pain than what i likely will ever again.
