Coming out of a delusion after one whole year

Postby justize » Wed Sep 30, 2015 12:23 pm

Hi I have just come out of a psychotic disorder that lasted a year and everyone I know including family and doctors think I have been well. I thought everything was a big set up and have massive delusions of grandeur and obsessions with important people, one so bad that I could quite safely say I am now totally in love with him. It is insane I know but hey that' s why I'm on the forum! Anyway, I really don't want to let on to anyone that I have been under this delusion for a whole year yet functioning perfectly OK in the real world. Coming out of a delusion is a really lonely place to be. If anyone can relate or has any advice that would be appreciated. :shock:

Hi yes, I am on a lot of medication, one of them has a slightly stimulating effect but I think my psychotic break was more to do with psychological stress. I also had a breakdown in the past that was stimulant induced, that was definitely the drugs! I have also been coming off diazepam which has speeded my whole system up so that may have had something to do with this huge period of psychosis I have just come out of. I really still can't believe how I managed to appear sane to my nearest and dearest for that amount of time. Amazing really, the power of the mind.
