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 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?
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.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I was placed on it a few years ago and had a psychotic break.
1360763 tn?1278090069 Thanks very much. They want me to do a "trial" through a lumbar puncture, then, if successful, replace the Dilaudid with this stuff...I'm getting to where I think I'll try it. Would appreciate further discussion: Are people who hve tried this just "making up" the horror stories I've read about psychotic breaks, hallucinations, horrid dreams, etc?
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 f tn My first 2 (i was 40 weeks with both) they had to break my water at the hospital, is induced. My third my water broke right after getting to the hospital and them checking me. I always have a fear it's going to be somewhere public and gushing water going everywhere... Hasn't happened yet.
883607 tn?1241847511 ones they accepted this) and reading these crazy rants in a manic/semi-psychotic state. I got quite a reputation and featured readings and was published and the like. But as they say you grow up :.) I still write though. Just differently.
Avatar n tn This is a common problem especially with psychiatrists -- less usually with psychologists. On the other hand, your doctor might be completely wrong about your diagnosis as well -- psychosis cannot be diagnosed by a regular doc and PTSD is often wrongfully diagnosed. If you're psychotic, you might not even know you're ill, so maybe you just wrote the wrong thing.
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 After they check you depending on how dilated you are they will break your water next. I got an epidural when I was 5 cm then I progressed fast and was ready to deliver in a couple hours. Now everyone is not the same.
10021507 tn?1407285147 I was in school and I told a friend of mines around maybe 1 or 2 that I just had this feelimg that my water was aboit to break. I was having contraction but they weren't close enough. I got home around 4:30-5:00 and tried to lay down with my boy friend. We attempted to have sex but it hurt too bad. After we stopped. I got up and it felt like I tinkled myself a little but it was mostly dis charge. I changed and he left for a little I started to have very bad contractions.
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 f tn If they tested with a swab thats usually accurate but ive heard stories on here of ones that came out negative and their water did actually break. Best bet is tomput on a pad because if your water broke you would be leaking continuously. It migt of just been a lot of discharge.
9571159 tn?1419571005 With my first just born on 2-10-15 i started getting cervadil at 10 on monday and they took it out at 8 n started me on pitocin but they gave me a break off of it and i just kept progressing from there till 4 when i was a 8 n felt like i needed to push n was awake till 7 when i actualy had to start pushing :) took about 30 mins she was born at 7:36am n we got to come home today :) <3 i was induced due to high bp but i was 39 weeks anyway...
Avatar f tn If I don't go into labor by the 25th, I will be induced at 7pm that night. I would like to here some induction stories. How did it go? & how long did it take you to have your beautiful baby in your arms?
10380106 tn?1410962725 Any mommies have positive stories on going into labor after getting membranes swept/striped? I got stripped yesterday & had terrible cramps/contractions for the rest of the day. I ate a bowl of pineapples last night, had sex & let the sperm sit for as long as I could(sorry tmi), lost my plug this a.m. & just ate another bowl of pineapples. Wondering if anyone have done similar things & went into labor shortly after.....
Avatar f tn I was climbing the bed the whole time it hurt me so bad. I had to get the epidural just so they could induce me. 4 hrs later they break my water. Every 4 hrs for 27hrs they checked me I didn't make any progress passed 5cm. So after another 3hr wait they finally gave me the c section I had been begging for. So glad this time I'll have a scheduled c section like with my last it's just so much easier. Good luck to you!!!!
Avatar f tn I have been reading a lot of horror stories, most of which i have lived with my self. My question - are there any success stories. I also need some in-put on how to get my husband to go get treatment.
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 f tn t believe it. So.. other than stories you have been told, has this Really happened to anyone personally? I just find it so hard to believe lol.
Avatar f tn Im ftm and I wanna hear some labor stories so I know what to expect. I'll be 36 weeks on Friday and the nerves are really starting to kick in!
Avatar f tn But the plan was to give me that pill at 6pm, the dr was going to break my water at 4am and start pitocin.. However by 4 am I was at 4cm so he waited til 6am to break my water and I was at 8cm by then... So he broke my water and they started pitocin 3 hours later when I was pushing cuz my contractions had slowed down from 1 minute apart to 3 minutes apart... I had a 8 hour labor and after a little over an hour of pushing my 7lb 11oz 13 day late baby girl was born healthy and screaming!!
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.
2141910 tn?1356444338 t, would you mind sharing your labor stories with us ftm??? I love hearing abt them bec it gives me more details on what to expect!
Avatar f tn I was induced! I had a natural birth, no epidural! He came 5hrs 40mins afterwards! Inducing is no biggie, but this go round, I'd like my water to break!
