3yrs post psychotic break
Just wanted to come and say hang in there. I enjoy music again. My self confidence is coming back . My social anxiety is much better. Im finding joy in old hobbies and making art again. I feel better about my work performance. I feel for you if your in the thick of it, hardest time of my life no question. 20 yrs daily heavy smoker. I tapered off the psych meds a few months after the episode been stone sober since then. Just coffee and cigs. No family history of psychosis, looking back I can see the paranoia over the years, but nothing close to the final break. It was affecting me though, did a lot of damage and thought I was hot shit the whole time. The psychosis was a wake up call and I heard it. Hope this helps someone, it does get better
