How many of you experience derealization after psychosis?

Even after I stopped being delusional, reality didn't feel real at first and I was confused for some time.

My AVH that cause delusions and schizophrenia managed over the years to steal slightly more than A$1,200,000.00 from me. What a delusion hey? I can prove it, but if I try, my psychiatrist will conclude that I am psychotic. I have the bank statements, amongst other items of proof.

Hi, I would like to ask you about the validity of my diagnoses (I know, it's pretty hard to do over the internet) and ask for help with understanding some related psychiatric nomenclature. Sorry for poor english, I'm not a native speaker.

In 2021, I had the most severe psychotic episode. I had delusions and voices abound. The most predominant hallucinations were the voices of two Pharmacists.

hey there! I'm afraid to tell a doctor about my schizophrenia symptoms because I'm afraid they would put me in the psych unit if told them. My leader is named Tuffy she tells me what to do in life. I'm the only one that sees Tuffy. I talk to Tuffy all day, she is my friend. I refuse to take antipsychotic medication because they cause weight gain, so I'm only taking Paxil and Buspar. I'm ...

Quick question has anyone experienced a voice speaking through your mouth. A voice that is not your own voice that talks to you. Is this some type of hallucination?

Psychiatrists/psychologists say that there is no healing, the only way is to take medicines forever.
Well, let me say that this is just not true.
There is always a way out but I don't know if you guys would believe me if I told you how I was healed.
