psychotic

Avatar m tn my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.
Avatar m tn My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?
Avatar f tn Did you call the hotline? I really think that you may want to just go now. Why wait another 4 days? By Monday you can be going on day 5 clean. I think if you don't go now while you are in this frame of mind that you may change your mind. Especially going through the weekend. I don't think band was trying to be hurtful but rather just trying to motivate you to prove him wrong. I, myself, am glad you shared as much as you did with us. That takes alot.
Avatar f tn t until I had a psychotic break that I was diagnosed. It seems that after I was diagnosed (after my break) that I haven't gotten back to the "pre-break" feeling. (I stay in the depressed more than the mania) I know part of that is because of medications and we don't always want/need to get back to the "pre-break" feelings, but I am wondering... Does a psychotic break change our disorder to a permanently detiorated state? Does it just get worse on it's own?
Avatar f tn In no WAY at all am I putting you down, as I am always here to support you.I personaly say I am concerned because I KNOW how bad of a feeling that is, trust me I do. I was not incinuating that you would hurt your children at all, but more to the effect of... I have been in those shoes where I have felt that bad and did not want my children to witness it. And for what it is worth that was just 3 days ago, and look at me today, much better.
447130 tn?1225470866 has recenlty been traumatized, then had a complete meltdown which the docs called a Psychotic Break? They are hospitalized for being a danger to themselves & others. I don't have much more info than that. What does this mean? Is it temporary? How long can it last & does anyone know how long you can be held by law? Or is that a state by state issue? Thanks for your help.
Avatar f tn A woman in her 50s diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder who was interviewed for our study described how she calls a Crisis Hotline when she perceives that a relapse might be impending. “I depend on [calling the Crisis Hotline]. I’m trying to keep from going in [the acute hospital unit]. I don’t want to go back there . . .
Avatar f tn ll call the nurse hotline just in case
Avatar f tn As to your question that's complex. A manic episode is a mental change in that its a break from reality. A person's emotions are not normative to what is going on. It may impair judgement such as the grandiosity typical for mania where a person has an inflated sense of self importance. As for psychosis that is a sharp break from reality in logical and normative thinking.
Avatar m tn Me and my gf had a condom break we didn't notice until afterwards. We're in our twenties. She is not on birth control, so she took the plan b pill right after, within the hour. I've never had this happen before. How reliable is plan B? Will we likely be okay?
Avatar n tn Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.
Avatar f tn Ok. But is it common to be manic all year round like I am. Even with the meds. Like I said I only hit the depressive mode when I hear a certain melody or when its those to holidays but I never stay in it for long. But I wouldnt say just depressed its mixed.
Avatar m tn How long should I wait for an HIV test and from what the Nationa Aids Hotline told me they thought there was a avg chance I could be infected with HIV. Not sure if the girl was or not.
Avatar f tn normal in pregnacy for break outs im suffering quite badly not on my face really i have a few spots appear every now and then but the top of my back is fricken horrible atm.
1351968 tn?1278205300 In mood swings there are difficulties in the understanding of emotions and relations with people and ability to focus and understand things and make appropriate decisions but when a person encounters psychotic symptoms there is a full break in reality testing. If you are concerned about any specific symptoms you have it would be essential to discuss them with your psychiatrist and of course if you have any new symptoms of any kind always bring it to their attention.
Avatar n tn Just love her and listen to her - that is really all you can do!
Avatar f tn To GingerA I Started Hearing Voices Since 2008 Going on Four years, I been hearing the same things in a City I used to live at and now i moved about over hundred miles from the city all they do over is yell at holograms calling them BttleFckr or Quntera Spirits in another part of a new city. i cant tell you about imagery because its very strange to see them they dont frighten me . i just continue watching t.v and ignore them...frm IpodLmx..
Avatar f tn It stems from mistakes I made when I had my psychotic break a few years ago. I did some things that just shame me to no end - mostly financial. Some of them were apparent when I lost everything (financially) and some others aren't completely out there. And of course, my suicide attempt that very few people close to me know about. This panic has led to anxiety and the anxiety to severe depression.
Avatar f tn I need opinions..last night I went to use the restroom and right when i sat down I heard a loud POP noise in my lower abdomen area.Has anyone experienced this? Is it possible that i squished my baby..is it possible to break a baby's leg or arm?? Or could it be my water breaking. There was no leak or burst of fluids but i did go pee and the feeling of wanting to Pee stuck with me for hours. I called the Nurse hotline and she said it was unusual and has never heard of that..
Avatar f tn How do you break down 10mg pills????????? I might just try to detox on my own since no one will help me! I dont want to be addicted when I give birth! I also cant find a doc that will help!!!!
3236191 tn?1451021479 So my dreams have always been foggy/cloudy as if I were just imagining them while awake but lately my dreams have become very vivid as if I'm not even in my body while I'm having them. My meds were coincidentally increased and are having more of a positive effect on me than they did last time they were increased but I've also had a psychotic break between now and then.

Avatar n tn t talk to me and had 5 children. I had a psychotic break due to neglect and trauma and had to leave my children to get better. I have a good job, a home, and lots of friends, but my children and family don't talk to me since I am well now. I am off medicine and feeling weird, like I am becoming myself or something, but waking up with anxiety, itching, and so tired. I just want to wake up and feel refreshed, but never are.
Avatar f tn call your doctor when things are unbearable and even ask for a consult to a pain specialist to get better pain control. Also your local suicide hotline is a good resource for you too. they are in the phone book or look them up online. are you taking anything for your herpes? what testing have you had done for other things so far? are you seeing a gyn or just your regular doctor?
Avatar m tn If the condom did not break during penetration, you have had protected sex. Protected sex us safe sex. You had no risk and don't need to test nor PEP.
