"Snapping out of" Psychosis

I know I am probably being rhetorical, but is it possible to "snap" out of one's psychosis? I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia/Psychosis for fifteen years. And I cannot help but feel like I am unbearable to be around, particularly around people who are trying to help me. It feels like they want me to just snap out of my psychosis already. My experiences with social workers are ostensive to this. An example would be when I told my social worker that I dropped a community college course, she got a look on her face that said, "You twit! I cannot believe you did that!! Why can't you just snap out of it and get on with your life?!" This is just a mote of what I have seen in all my years of reading my psychotherapists' reactions to what I say to them. I have seen disappointment, frustration, anger, annoyance, derision, disbelief, deprecation, etc. I remember when I was seeing an LCSW at a behavioral health center, I had previously told her that I had trouble swallowing. So, after the APRN I was seeing suggested that I go on Clozaril (because I was still psychotic at the time), I told the LCSW. She then said, "The Fazaclo?" And then I 'corrected' her and said, "Clozaril!" Then she got a smile on her face that said, "Wow, I can't believe he doesn't even know the medication's name that would have continuity with what he has been telling our hospital's psychiatric staff members." This would be the derision sentiment. Anyway, I have been fecklessly blabbing away again. I guess I will end my post here.

If we could just 'snap out of it', there would be no drug addicts or alcoholics either. Will power doesn't work. Some people will never 'get it'.

It just isn't that easy. Some of the most helpful therpists & social workers for me have been people who have lived (existed) through the illness and come out the other side of it. Some had an epiphany & wanted to share it with other sufferers in the hope to spread the recovery.

I've heard things shared in the 12 step rooms about 35 years ago that changed my life. It likely saved my life.
I never forgot those words. I remember those words & faces when I need strength.

Book-smart therapists and Certified counselors are also needed. They have my respect and keep the profession afloat.
They may not have been through what you & I have been through, but they understand the illness from a different perspective.

Gravitate towards the helpers. I wanted to thank the people who have helped me, but helping me helped them.
"You have to give it away in order to keep it". They said.

Thanks for your helpful words and advice, Wally58. I understand that psychotherapists and psychiatrists may never have gone through what we have gone through. But, like you said, they understand our illnesses from a differing point of view. And perhaps this also means that they can see us differently than we see ourselves, and that they can therefore see us more objectively. Lately I have been feeling better. I credit this progress to my medication. Anyway, thanks for your helpful reply.
