My Psychotic Episode // delusional and calling my work lol

[@sarahkelly6024]

My partner killed himself during a stress induced psychotic episode last year and a lot of your symptoms sound so similar (especially the “everyone is plotting against me and only I know the truth”), it’s way more common than people think and I wish there wasn’t such a stigma around it. You’re so brave to talk about it ❤️

[@emilyuwuowo2131]

My older brother constantly thinks this, but we’re trying to deal with his mental health as we suspect he has binge eating disorder and ptsd from his past but maybe more than that because he’s quite anxious and... hm... it’s hard to explain.

[@queenjulianalovesherfatban2064]

Oh god this makes me so sad

[@joellebouwman5566]

Aw Marie, it makes me so sad to see you get like a bit embarrassed about this subject.. there's literally no need to be more ashamed about being in hospital bc of psychosis than for being depressed. They're both symptoms of mental illness. Neither of them make you batshit, they just make you ill. But you got better, and that's amazing. So good of you to talk about this! I think the reason you feel awkward might just be because it's not talked about much and people are not educated about the subject, so talking about it is the first step!!

[@miriamsarz]

My boyfriend had the same thing around a year ago, literally no previous mental health issues or anything, just a case of childhood depression that went away by his teens. He called me in the middle of the night and came over trying to prove that he was Jesus and how every person in his life played a part in the rapture which was coming in the morning. This went on for about a week and there was just no getting through to him he wouldn’t listen to anyone else, convinced he was right. I don’t want to go too much into detail because it’s still something I’m super uncomfortable but thank you for sharing your experience, I feel like there really is so little information about this topic!! Lots of love x

[@iaprofessional7986]

I had an episode myself and also thought I was Jesus incarnate! It was bizarre I’m not even religious (although I was born and raised Catholic.) The delusions spiraled from there it was awful. Hope you and your guy (whether y’all are together or separate) are doing well

[@Phoebe907]

I’m here because my dad has bipolar 1 and experiences psychotic episodes during his mania. I’m trying to find answers right now, because just a couple of days ago he caused great harm to my grandpa, who’s now in the hospital. I’m so sorry that you’ve experienced this, my heart goes out to anyone who goes through such a thing. My heart breaks for my dad who has no idea what he’s done. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

[@stephanielawson6719]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I suffer from schizo affective disorder depressive type (which is schizophrenia plus depression), and I always see people posting their story with depression, anxiety, bi polar and stuff, but you hardly ever see someone talking about psychosis. Mostly it is just in the form of a 'psychotic killer' in some horror movie (which is obviously nothing like what people with a disorder on the schizophrenia spectrum are like). Anyways, I just want you to know your awesome and I love watching your videos!

[@LucyGem98]

Well done for talking about this so openly on the internet. I don't suffer from anything like this and I've never experienced it myself but it's interesting to hear about and learn about what a psychotic episode is actually like and not just how the media portrays them. Also, you don't need to be embarrassed about this, we understand this wasn't actually what you think YES MORE CRIME VIDEOS

[@coralmore3568]

Hey! The voices you’re describing are one of the most common types - just strangers narrating what you’re doing like “now she is opening the door” etc. So try not to feel too strange, brains are funny and you are not weird/alone/etc! & thought insertion / deletion is also really common (taking thoughts in and out of your head) I am blown away by how well you are describing such complicated symptoms!

[@SongofaBeach2012]

I had a psychotic break in 2001 and was convinced of things that were not true at all! My perception was so off, I couldn't sleep or eat (At the time of my episode, I weighed 105 lbs when my usual weight is 118), it's like I was in a different reality than everyone else and I couldn't find my way back. The worst of my delusions lasted about 2 weeks and those receded. But it honestly took me 3 months to fully be back to myself physically, mentally and emotionally. It was very scary and was triggered after being physically abused by my bf at the time. I was also sleep deprived and very stressed with college before the episode began. I got better though with the help and support of my parents and family. I eventually gained back my weight and was able to sleep normally again. I also had a friend who had a psychotic break after a traumatic miscarriage. She was convinced she was the reincarnation of the virgin Mary and that her ex boyfriend could receive telepathic messages from her. These delusions lasted about 2 months before she came back to herself. Stress and Trauma can do some interesting and scary things to our psyche. I stayed by her side because I understood what it was like to sort of lose yourself. Thankfully Shes better now and hasn't had an episode before or since that time. Its just nice to know I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I hope you continue to heal and practice self care and I think you are very brave to share something so deeply personal ❤️

[@summer7529]

did u take any medicine that helped initially?

[@kaylacarpenter272]

I went through this to such a severe degree, that I didn't sleep at all FOR A WEEK, and needed sedation. I still need meds to sleep after 13 years. Traumatized mw so severely, I'm Frderally disabled, today. Healed so much, to where like is ALMOST "normal".

[@laurened6505]

Yes psychosis can happen temporarily with trauma or stress. Thank you for your testimonial.

[@saritarobinson3040]

It's true that describing it is like trying to explain a dream, and it's difficult to explain. My audio comes in the form of songs, not necessarily voices. Like thinking about a song and repeating it in your head. But they sing songs I hate from my childhood and get louder and louder to the point that I go in a room by myself and tell them to shut up. Then I go back to regular life. I have to tell them to shut up in order to make it stop. Daily.

[@archerharvest5940]

Level three in psych wards be having you bargaining for an extra inch of the door closed; whilst you tryna take a poop. XD But in all seriousness, I love your video. You explained everything so well; despite what you might think. I live with a psychotic disorder myself. And I am now well into my fourth year of a psychotic episode. I'm coming out of it now (thankfully) but still have a way to go before I get better. As I still hear voices everyday. But am much less bothered by them then before. I mainly have people in my head talking ABOUT me. Not so much too me. Thank you for adding that part into the video. Because I really thought I was so weird for just having them mainly talk about me, rather then to me. And no one really understands my illness. My mental health team don't, my family don't, my friends don't, I don't even understand a lot of it. But it's been really nice hearing someone else talk about what actually went on for them in their head during the episode. Because it helps me to recognise more of what could be symptoms in my own mental health. Just little things you said about people talking about you and how the voices spoke ("Queen." But not really explaining what "type" of Queen. If that makes sense, just kind of how they spoke about the delusions???). So thank you for your video. I'm glad you're doing better now and I'm glad that you've come out of this with such strength. I hope you have a good rest of your life. And that you never have to go back to a psych ward again. :) :) :) :) :)

[@saritarobinson3040]

My ultimate diagnosis was/is Bipolar with pyschotic delusions. I have been able to live a very good life despite it, but definitely helped by my meds. I will never go without them. I have therapy twice week to monitor progress. I'm a mom, successful career, live on my own, etc. So people is possible to live happily beyond a disorder. I'm glad that you are doing well!!

[@itzhayliejoy.2001]

I have BPD, and had a psychotic break I guess you could say, about a year and a half ago. I would on and off be super delusional and believed I still lived with my family and worked my old job, when I was in fact married in real life, and my husband would have to explain who he was to me because I “didn’t know him.” That or I’d believe some other man had replaced him, and he wasn’t my “real husband”, or that he’d kidnapped me and taken me away from my old family and life. I’m doing a lot better now, I now know that the only reason that stuff was happening was because of a lot of stress I was under due to stuff I probably wouldn’t go into detail with, but it’s definitely hard to explain those kind of experiences to others who’ve never been through them. It feels embarrassing, even though it shouldn’t. It’s not our fault:(

[@briarrose4747]

Thank you for sharing 💖 I went through a similar situation a few years ago it was pretty scary.Only I though demons were trying to destroy me and I became pretty paranoid and delusional.I remember even hallucinating and people's eyes looked red and I thought they were possessed and they wanted to hurt me and I was afraid I was gonna be possessed and get hurt or hurt some one else I also went to the hospital..Just a really bad time in my life.I know it's hard to talk about these things because there's a lot of stigma around it,hearing about people's mental health issues makes me feel better,less mental I guess you could say.

I went through a psychotic break about two years ago and was the scariest time of my life.. mine is also stress induced and sucks. I’ve noticed myself kinda slipping back there a little bit but I’m trying to keep it under control since I’ve had it before and come back out of it. It just sucks when u are going through it cause your reality is morphed and emotions and cravings you usually get just go away. I currently haven’t been eating much cause it’s almost like my body won’t let me get down food without me feeling like I’m going to throw up. I completely understand what u where going through. I just hope i come back out of it again.

[@esmeraldasilver8763]

Can you share the medications that have kept you stable..

[@ahumanbeinginhi]

I really need to let this out because it's driving me crazy. I strongly believe I had a psychotic episode from July to October of last year. I received phone calls from people I quietly left back in 2022 to move on in life and I received them at a time where I was already experiencing a lot of stressors. I think the phone calls were the final straw for me because suddenly, I just lost it. I verbally harassed people I knew of, none of who had anything to do with the phone calls, by messaging them with inappropriate and disrespectful messages. I attacked so many past friends, also none of who had anything to do with the phone calls, on social media, publicly, at that. I believed that I was only right and that everyone else was trying to attack me back verbally. I don't know; back then, it was all real to me and I believed everything I did was for the better and right. But, looking back as a rational person, away from that crazy mindset, it embarrasses me and I feel so much guilt and shame. I lost so many friends and people for absolutely no reason, all because of my episode alone. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, recurrent, severe with psychotic symptoms, and it's only now making sense to me that what I was experiencing and doing during those four months was indeed, a psychotic episode. I really hate myself for all the things I did and said. I apologized to a lot of them, both through letters and on social media. But, in a way, learning that what had happened was a psychotic episode makes me feel a lot better because now, I know and can say what actually happened. It just saddens and shocks me about what I did because everything I did was too much, doesn't make any sense, was way out of proportion, and was simply, crazy. But, I guess that's why it's called a psychotic episode, right? It's not supposed to make sense what I did because I lost touch with reality and had so many delusions, had so many beliefs I believed were true, but I can now look back on and see how untrue they all were. It feels good to let this out. I hope I made sense and don't seem completely crazy. But, I know what I had was a psychotic episode. I'm healing and doing a lot better. I'm more reserved and quiet now. I feel like a completely new person, which I don't know is a good thing. But, I stopped all of those crazy and concerning habits I did back then, which, also looking back on myself, scares me because I can't believe I actually did all of those things. Okay, that's it

Well I too did cringy things, I called one of my university teachers (!)
