depends on whats causing the psychosis
and the individual.
like you can get a strong guy with major problems
and he can live a happy life
then you have a weak individual with lil problems
and they have a breakdown.
lots of factors to think of.

I don't think thats what he was tryin to say man, jus reality is only real for those who live in that reality, and reality is all in ure head, and we all got different heads, so why giv a shit about whether or not its in ure head or sumthing thats independent, because no1 has got a clue, and will never have a clue, so don't worry about it. As for psychosis, educate yourself on the history, diagnosis, prognosis and symptoms, and the methods of determining whether sum1 is mentally ill or not, then draw ure conclusions. My personal opinion is that it doesn't exist, and I'm sure if I told you all the reasons for why I think that, u'd still stay with ure opinion that it does :D cuz thats what ppl do...........god bless em.

psychosis can be a major problem for those who are prone to it. I don't know if it ever go's away, but there are meds that can help. Some people hear voices, while others broadcast, some feel paranoid all the time, and think people are after them . . . like a conspiracy. I've know one guy who actually thought he was Jesus at one point in his life. Delusions of grandeur where you think you are some big shot, and the list goes on.
Sometimes weed can trigger an episode, or so I hear. It doesn't cause the problem, but it can 'trigger' it since weed is a pshychotropic plant. (sp?)
Like I said, there are many meds that might help a bit. Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Haldol, Abilify, the list goes on.
Czech with a pdoc if its a problem for you. If not, enjoy the trip . . .pshychosis can be fun as well. ;)
I think i may have it then, because im the most paranoid person in the world. Every time i hear a car door close i think its the cops. Everytime i hear a voice i tence up, every time i see someone in the street i think there a cop. Everyones a cop to me, but when i smoke weed i realise its stupid, but when im not high, it really is all one big conspiracy to send me to jail, or kill me or something, i even get paranoid of being shot in a drive by.

Im pretty sure i have whatever this is, i thought i was going insane for a while, and occasionally i'll hear voices when im alone (like stuff people said that day or in the past) and i get really paranoid when im stoned, i always think my house is haunted and there is some evil spirit that doesnt like me in my kitchen (this might be true).
I think im god. I always think in terms of conspiricy against me and i wonder if its really just an illusion because i hear people talking shit behind my back and they never confront me even when i ask them about it. I always misinterpret things like when im in a group of people. People steal from me alot even though im an extremly nice person, id give you the shirt off of my back if you asked me to.

Everyone that's put shit on hear about living with it or having problems grasping reality is fun or that you can control it are ignorant. If you have a psychosis, you don't just think reality might be a figment of your imagination like sane people, but these thoughts consume you, become confusing and you can live in a state of this confusion and fear. As for dealing with it on your own, how can your mind be strong enough to take control of your mind if that is the very thing getting out of control. You and your family will benefit from seeking help otherwise you or they could get seriously hurt. I've had close family members go through episodes of paranoid delusions, so I know that mental illness is no joke. Nor is it a weakness, if something works, it must have the potential to go wrong.

Truely mad people dont know they're mad. So at least your still at the stage where you not to far gone. Seek help from somewhere more proffesional than a chat board. If these epsodes dont stop or worse suddenly stop seek proffesional help.
I have seen ttttto many acid casualties to wanna talk about it, and what you describe is like what they said..so seek help
The are both Hallucinagenics.....Im not saying acid is the same but the symptoms are the same.....in my acid casualty freind it came on realfast a weekend to be exact.
If it doesn't interfere with your rational thought then it might be neurosis....
Dude at the end of the day it could be nothing, but then again it could develop into full blown schizophrenia....
yeah you can treat psychosis with meds....about 2 thirds of schizophrenics suffer recurring episodes....so wether or not meds will help you is up to your body...i dont think it will go away by itself dude.
At the end of the day it's up to you to decide wether or not it is serious enoung to get medical attention...no one really knows what your going through except you.
If you think its the weed then lay off it....It is supposedly meant to act as a catalyst to people already pre-dispositioned to psychosis...but then again it may not be due to the weed...could be due to a number of things...but the weed probly isnt helping to tell you the truth.
But don't label yourself as psychotic just yet....labeling people seems to lead to self fullfilling prophesis (internalisation of the label)

Fair enough, but a person 'can' live with it if they learn to embrace. Believe me, I know. ;)
I took meds for years, and sure, they helped a bit . . . counseling, too. But, I know that the problem is purely mental, and not real. Psychosis can be fun if you let it! You just have to realize the non-truth, and embrace the trip. Although, it took me years to come to that point.
I've been med free for two years now, and I trip just as hard now as I did then. The difference is that I know better now, and I don't let it 'consume' me . . .
I suggested meds, and counseling because both can help, but once you get to a point where you can handle it. I say embrace, and go with it. It's alot easier than resisting!
If you're young, and inexperienced with this, then by all means, get professional help.
But,
If you're like me, then take a trip with the "Madman"! ;)

ure the first person I ever seen/heard say that, fair play man :D
What sort of symptoms are you talkin about? like shit moves around on ya? and u see faces and patterns in everyday situations? or is it literally paranoid voices and a general feeling of being overwhelmed by ure thoughts?
Soz for the 20 q's just I really do believe that mental illness doesn't exist, and ure the first person I can ask with first hand experience of psychosis, and uve actually embraced it.:thumbsup:

I agree with that to a certain extent aswell...I just read a study done by a man called Rosenhan....and he kinda suggested that even professional psychiatrist can't tell sane from insane...and he put people being insane down to labeling them.
read this if you are at all interested.

Extreme paranoia, delusional thinking, delusions of grandure, sometimes voices, broadcasting (Which can be a bitch) basicly overwhelmed by thoughts, the feeling people are watching me, (Always) and a load of other sh!t, lol!
Btw, mental illness is very real. Although, I don't consider myself as being 'mentaly ill', only 'mental', haha!
Yup, I'm crazy as a loon, and I prefer my woman the same way. ;) You should try tripping acid with a crazy woman, she'll bring you right into her world, man. It's a trip!

pot is another way to alter the mind... same concept behind most meds

Most anti-phychotic meds only change brain chemistry, and don't actually 'alter' the mind like weed does. Most don't give you a buzz, they change receptors and sh!t. They say phychosis is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain; the meds are simply used in attempt to 'balance' the imbalance.

Although it really depends what view your looking at it from....that would only be a physiological viewpoint....but....lol...it doesn't really matter.
