psychosispsositivity:

Reminder that it’s okay to:

• Hallucinate
• Have delusions of any kind
• Be paranoid
• Have disorangized thoughts
• Have disorganized behavior
• Have disorganized speech
• Have negative symptoms
• Have magical thinking

Even during the holidays. Your psychosis won’t necessarily go away just because you want it to. You’re not ruining Christmas by being symptomatic, you are sick and you can’t help it. Don’t feel guilty for being psychotic, not now not ever.

No. It might not get better

But it will become manageable

It will become easier

There will be good days

There will be okay days

There will be days where youre happy you didnt give up

There will be people who help you

There will be people who understand you

It is worth it.

You have so much to live for. Please dont give up

ideas for coping with psychosis

- follow a routine for medication and set alarms to remind yourself to take it

- follow an exercise routine, even if it’s just going for a walk every day

- if you struggle to focus on things like tv shows, see if you can find them uploaded in short parts on youtube, it can be easier to focus when it’s split up into sections

- before you go to sleep each night set yourself one activity to complete the next day, even if it’s something small like taking out the trash or picking up the rubbish from your floor

- listening to music in one ear or wearing one ear plug at night is said to be effective at reducing voices for some people

- hallucinations can get worse at night, and wearing a sleeping mask or covering your eyes with something else can reduce your urge to look at them, just don’t be tempted to take it off

- when experiencing tactile hallucinations, wrap up tightly in a blanket and hold onto something you can center yourself on like another blanket or stuffed animal to make yourself feel more secure

- if you struggle to come up with new ideas for creative activities, try using story prompt generators or colouring in pictures, it can help to inspire your own ideas

- if your disorganised thoughts impair your concentration in class, record your lessons or look up additional information online during the lesson so that you can better understand what’s being taught
