Psychosis triggered by anxiety anyone?

Postby Bettyboop » Mon Oct 22, 2012 1:49 pm

My psychosis is almost always trigger by anxiety. The more anxious I am the more I loose sense of reality.
Sometimes I have panic attacks where I have been told I am so irrational the only thing to do is admit me into the psych ward.

I have a diagnosis of bipolar which maybe being change to schizoaffective/paranoid schizophrenia.

Actually, anxiety is a part of psychosis. For me, it's also one of the first symptoms.

In my case, I no longer believe in triggers, I always get it back when I quit meds.

is it anxiety neurosis... I attribute things to the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks like it causes a full blown realisation that I might die and the stress snowballs and images in the mind appear like I'm having a flashback of drowning, like I reliving it and can;t breath..... Was totally strange, It was after substantial sleep deprivation and I made the mistake of calling an ambulence for myself and got dragged to psych ward where they gave me a heap of sleeping pills then I passed out then I woke up with paradoxical reaction seeming v"preoccupied with the drugs" blunting my thinking and making me come across as having a mental illness...Totally sucks

I agree that anxiety is a huge trigger for schizophrenic symptoms. It can start there and then manifest itself into paranoid thoughts, into psychosomatic feelings, and eventually into distortions of perception. That's how it works for me.
