Hey guys! So I thought I would crate this video of some sort to help raise Psychosis Awareness. If you don't know what Psychosis is, that's okay, it's not a common mental disorder (it doesn't even have its own awareness day)! I was personally diagnosed with this disease back in March of this year. I'm not doing this for attention, I'm doing it to inform people of the dangers that it can bring. Psychosis is a lot like Schizophrenia, but much worse and less definable (trust me, I did my studying). With Schizophrenia, you have three stages all in which happen within a month or two, but they always go in order and an episode is fairly predictable if you know what stage you're in. They do have special medicines for Schizophrenia and for many people it has helped. With Psychosis, you have no idea when a psychotic episode will happen, and they are still trying to figure out medicine for this. Let me explain to you what personally has happened to me. Ever since I was little I was always seeing things, I lived in my own reality and I still am. Do you remember having imaginary friends? I had them, way past the point I should've stopped thinking they were real. They eventually did go away but I started to hear voices and see this person I call 'The Man'. As I look back, it was absolutely terrifying, but in all honesty, I thought it was normal. Soon enough I started to see gruesome things and the voices in my head told me that he wanted to kill me. I would say more, but I want to keep it PG. I did get help and I'm doing much better now, but I still have a hard time estimating when I'll have another Psychotic episode. Others do have it worse than I, so I have no room to complain. But please help me spread the word about psychosis to help people have a better understanding of it.
