It Took Me 4 Years to Recover from Psychosis

- I have noticed that a lot of people are in a hurry to heal, get off of medication, and pretend that a psychosis did not happen. I want to remind people that it took me about 4 years to feel normal again after my first psychosis. Healing and integrating this kind of experience takes a lot of time and work, trying to rush the process can be more harmful than helpful. My goal with this video is to give people some hope who may feel like they are not making any progress and give caution to those who want to just jump right back into things without addressing it properly. I hope this video is helpful for someone.

Guys if you are smoking weed , I highly recommend that you stop. I was dealing with psychosis and didn’t even realise that the weed was a main reason that it was causing it. It’s called weed induced psychosis. It’s been 10days now since I stopped and I already feel so much better and have much less psychotic symptoms , I wish the a speedy recovery for all of you guys and truly if you stop smoking weed I promise that you will get better and the symptoms will be less noticeable
Awesome for you! You are saving your brain from long term damage. Hugs to you on your continued sobriety. It’s surely not an easy thing to do.
Truth! Surprised more don't know about it
Cannabis induced psychosis!
going through my first psychosis recovery process right now and this made me feel seen and helped me a lot. the depression part sucks. it’s nice knowing i’m not alone so thank you for making this ❤
The embarrassment n crazy shit you say to people has to be the worst part!
Right there with you ❤️🩹
@@shut0p you cannot recover from psychosis. you can only hope to contain it
God bless you and all the people who suffer from this mental illness

Thank you
Thanks
Thank you
It took me about 3 years to recover. What expedited my recovery was holding myself accountable to an exercise routine.
Im 3 yrs out now and doing mostly better, except more withdrawn and dont feel like being social, have you been able to improve these symptoms & how? Thanks
@@---wb5ql I am going through the same symptoms. I am currently 3.5 years out, religiously sticking to my exercise routine.
B G thanks, biking helped me a lot in the past I need to get back to the regular exercise routine
Hey there 😊 it took me 2 years to recover! How are you doing now if I may ask?
@@Tintinxcvii I'm doing a lot better. I have been working now almost 2 years and I go to the gym every morning. This experience changed me in lots of different ways.
It took me about a year to finally get to a place where I feel how I did pre-psychosis episode. I’m so happy that I’m able to think like I used to, write how I used to, process information like I used to etc.
Ooouu it’s very interesting hearing you talk about the synchronicities and spiritual aspect because I experienced that fr. My doctor called it hyper religiosity. Then the depression afterwards as well. I was sad because I wasn’t who I used to be. Couldn’t function like I used to. I’m so happy that I’m better now though.
My husband has just started this awful journey. He became psychotic 6 months ago. Out of nowhere like a lightening bolt. In that time he’s already been to 3 places. 2 bad places & one decent place. Cops and ambulance twice. So thank you for sharing a more realistic time frame. I’m so sorry you went through this. I’d never wish this on anyone. Take very good care of yourself. It’s important.
Hi my husband also started this recently. His started about 2 months ago and has been hospitalized twice. He is home now taking medication, tell me how’s ur husband doing? Sending u much love and good vibes
@@randall-flagg it never got better. He’s in a hospital in Massachusetts. The state is trying to commit him. I’m one year older, hardened and sarcastically angry! Not the ending I had hoped for. Like the username Flagg.
how is it now? i had psychosis twice and recovered in 6 months in that time.
@@shadesofuv1828 He’s truly terrible. He was strapped to a gurney this morning. Back to the ER. He was starving himself, no fluids, it’s all poisoned to him. He’s 100% non-compliant when it comes to his meds. He quit taking them 30 days ago! It doesn’t matter wether I’m begging, crying, pleading with him to do the next right thing. My husband isn’t in there anymore. I would know after 35 years. He just disappeared way behind his eyes. Gone.
@@wally2786 He's there, just lost. I hope you are okay and can seek therapy right now, somehow amongst the chaos. You can always be there for him to come back to. Can you get him committed? I say that as a final resort because I am mostly agaisnt insitutionalization, but this is beyond at home support and monitoring meds. I feel for you both.
I came close to what I believe was psychosis from 25 years of marijuana use. I never experienced such a loss of control of my mind. Very scary at the time. I’m clean now and haven’t experienced any symptoms that I was previously. Now I have immense empathy for people struggling wit mental disorders. There is hope!
Thank you for sharing! 😊
How long did the psychosis last?
Same i am currently suffering from this after ‘only’ 13 years of smoking weed, started in 2009
@@LG-ro5le do you think it’s possible afyer only a couple months?
@@sylasfpsyea it’s possible I was hospitalized for drug induced psychosis from taking acid and the vivid hallucinations were gone after 1 month and my general mental state returned to normal after 6
Psychosis is the scariest illness I have ever had. Amphetamine induced. The fact that I didn't know I was psychotic was the scariest. The persecutors were real. What a relief when I realised it was psychosis and I wasn't being persecuted.
Thanks for sharing. Yes psychosis can be scary for sure and it is definitely a relief when you realize that some of the stuff wasn't real.
Soo know how you feel I had 60 of the dirty little auditory creatures year+ of losing my shit too chaos then 1 revelation about what Jesus Finished shut them right the fuckup instantly. off the meds, and now transitioning back?? learning about spiritual warfare to help with that because trusting in my own intellect, thoughts and reasonings don't work. Hope you all find peace praise jah
@@justbeinghayden9451 is there a way we can talk
@@hopehope9278 yeah reach out to me on instagram or email. Both in the description of the the video.
@@justbeinghayden9451 I don't have social media but I'll check your email
Thanks for talking about this its not an easy thing to go through and there's a lot of stigma around it so i appreciate people talking about it💙
Your thought process is very mature and realistic. Kudos to you!
So thankful i have found these videos, you all are saving lives by sharing your stories so we all don't feel so alone. Thank You.
Great outlook on taking medication long term, really nice to hear and relatable in my current situation. Thankyou for sharing
This really helped listening to someone who went and is going through this it makes me feel alittle less alone in my mental illnesses. So thank you and I hope you are doing well. ❤
Your rooms backround has such a chill feel! Thank you for your transparency!!
Thank you! Happy to share.
Thank you for the video! You have done a great service!!!
Thanks man I definitely needed to hear this today I'm personally going through psychosis right now and its been really hard for me and yeah it's no joke stay safe and healthy 😔🙏
Glad it was helpful! Thank you, you too 😊
@@justbeinghayden9451 yeah man do you still have symptoms even tho you recovered
Thank you so much for this video. I had a recent episode of psychosis and it did not end well for me. I'm recovering slowly and this really helps.
I am glad to hear that you are recovering and that my videos are helping. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making this video. My daughter is struggling with the aftermath of bipolar depression. I am proud of you and wish you peace, love and full healing❤️
I'm sorry to hear that. It must be really hard for you and her. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My mom struggled a lot with my psychosis and felt like she had very little information as to what to do or what might happen. My hope that my videos will help others, both the ones who experience symptoms and the ones who care for them, understand the situation better, know that they are not alone, and that there is hope. Wishing you both the best, and thank you for sharing and your kind words.
Thank you so much for making this.
Bless you, you are such a blessing to us out here fearing for our loved ones future.. I wish you so much joy, you can't ever imagine. ♥️💕♥️💕
Thankyou for sharing this . Very helpful information. You sound and look well so your doing something right . ! X
I had my first psychotic episode in March 2018 and I only got better in August 2019. I temporarily suspended my studies at university back then and I'm on my second gap year, just catching up with doing exams last year and this year. I'm lucky to have my family and friends support me during this time and all the extra time off has made me develop closer bonds to people. I used to not really socialise much in person but I've found that this was a key component to my recovery. Along with picking up guitar and going to guitar lessons. I also prepared for and sat my grade 8 piano exam last year. Doing daily exercise really helps boost my mood as well. I used to put my education above everything and worked really really hard whilst neglecting other aspects of my life but now I find that putting self-care above that is good and is what should be done.
Awesome thank you for sharing!
I really relate a lot to this. But idk if it's psychosis but i know i have mental health issues. But i also came to the same realization where i put studies above else and neglected everything. Thanks for sharing! Hope you're still doing well
I had it for exactly one year excluding the prodomal phase..But on the Internet it says it should last for less, so I don't understand...
@@brianbarajas2948 I am. I'm coming off medication in 9 days and the psychiatrist had been gradually reducing the dose since January. I completed my BSc degree last year, did half of the honours year but came down with covid19 for a month and then hayfever so I missed the exams. I realise university had been dragged out for 8 years due to my health and so I decided to just leave with the ordinary degree. Also got diagnosed with autism in January too so have been spending time with that community of folks and attending the post-diagnosis programme.
@@johanlexis I think it's unique to everyone's experience, mine lasted for 17 months.
Nice thumbnail 👍🏽
It was really great that you noticed the need and desire for this video and addressed it - thank you. Personally, my most dramatic psychosis was two years ago January and I know I'm still recovering. Month by month I notice changes - for a while I was on a very high dose of an injectable antipsychotic that, combined with occasional alcohol use, made me extremely sedated. Only a few days ago I had the thought that I wasn't walking into walls and corners anymore. My point is that it's hard to know what "normal" is after psychosis, as you mention. For a long time that was my normal and for the last few months I have been feeling so much better, and how I define "better" is evolving constantly which you also addressed. Thanks again for another good video.
Thanks Elena! And thank you for sharing 🙂
I greatly appreciate this video. Up until I watched it, I've been in a hurry to recover. It's been a little over a year now and I feel a world of difference but I still have a ways to go - I still occasionally hear things, some days it's better other days it's not but I'm living and I'm sure I'll get back to 100% eventually. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing this with me. It means a lot to me when people tell me how my videos have helped. The reason I made the video was that I was in a hurry with my recovery process and looking back it caused a lot of unnecessary stress and self-hatred. I am so happy that you have been recovering well! There is always something in life that will be hard for us, but its important to remember how far we have come and how much we have learned. It sounds like you have been making awesome progress! Take time to appreciate that 🙂 Thanks again for sharing Alex! 😊
Its very great to see that you went back to normal life its very encouraging for me as a person how suffer from psychosis as well.. i feel you with my heart.. keep strong i will do as well and keep your channel up👍🏼🙌🏼
Thank you I appreciate your support! I am glad my story is encouraging for you :) I hope you are able to create the life you want, don't let these experiences hold you back. You have a unique perspective that you can bring to the world, most people have not gone through what you have. Much love!
Hey friend, I have also been through psychosis a couple of times, first-time last year, and last time 3-4 months ago. I thought It could be nice to share one's experiences with each other, I think that talking with one that has been through the same would help me a lot, I don't know about you, but I would love to have a compassionate conversation. - Nicolai
Great video! Not enough first hand accounts for people to relate to. Thank you so much for sharing
Hey man you are very brave for making these videos. It really helps listening to your story because it is in many ways similar to mine. Last year I went to the other side of the world to a psytrance festival and had a very hardcore psychotic episode. I abandoned the festival, lost everything I had with me and wondered off the streets of Panama during 7 days, barely eating or sleeping until I was found by police as I had gone missing. I dont think i did any drugs on the festival, however i had taken mushrooms and mdma the previous months back at home. Mixed with introspection, it was what triggered my psychosis. Before my psychosis I felt very spiritual and connect to the world, everything seemed beautiful and I could go out and be completely in the moment only sensing the world and not thinking at all-you must understand since you also took psychedelics . When i listened to psytrance my mind would go into a trance state and i relaxed all muscles in my body while feeling loving emotions very intensely. Now my life just feels so numb in general...when i listen to music i start thinking about other things and i feel a void where my emotions should be. I wonder if my life is going to be as bright as it was, if i can ever reach this stat without the use of drugs or if i just have to learn to live with a different intensity . I am on antipsychotic medication currently, do you think i feel "normal" again once i quit it? Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear that you are going through numbness and a lack of zest for life. Unfortunately, there are not certain answers when it comes to recovery, so I can't make any promises that things will get better or not, but there are things you can do everyday to make your life a little better and more enjoyable. Implementing a routine in your life, mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, hobbies, finding something that you want to contribute toward are all ways to increase your zest for life. There is no way for me to tell you exactly what would work for you, but think about moving forward in life instead of trying to go back to were you were. Your life moving forward may not look the same as it was before, but it does not mean it needs to be void of joy. Try different things, find things you like to do, see how you would like to make an impact in the world or what you would like to experience. You may never have those intense ecstatic experiences again, or its possible you will, but regardless you can have a life that is fulfilling and rewarding. I have learned to appreciate the little things in life after my psychosis, before I was looking for the big 'highs' but now I realized I was just trying to escape reality. There is wisdom and bliss in the simplicity of life and stillness. It also takes time to recover as I mentioned it took a few years for things to settle out. Also maybe consider a coach or counseling to help you. Thanks again for sharing hope that helps.
As far as medication goes, don't be in a hurry to get off of it. Usually when people go off of it quickly it can make things really difficult or result in a relapse. Communicate with your doctor and how you feel and if you feel up for it you can try reducing the dose with they approval, but first try changing other things in your life. If you feel the medication is causing more problems than it helps, then speak with your doctor.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I wish you all the best. ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for the information. It helps me understand what my son is going through. Much appreciated. Stay healthy.
I know my mom was desperate to find more information as to what was going on with me. There is not a lot of information out there and the doctors were not really helpful in giving her any information. I am glad that my sharing can help you understand what is happening and maybe give you hope that he can get better with time. Sending you the best and thank you for sharing!
coming up to a year since my last psychotic episode which was my 5th one in 8 years. Mentally exhausted. Really needed this vid today. thanks
How many months your first episode psychosis and second episode psychosis last
Hi from Brazil. I've also been on a path to recovery from two psychotic episodes. The first was in 2016 and second in 2018 [both very different]. Been stable on risperidone 3mg. And what you've said about taking time is really something everybody going through this should hear. It's all ups and downs, so having patience is mandatory. Your video really makes me think I'm not the only one in this, and I feel like there's a lack of content that addresses these experiences on the internet. Not many people are brave enough to speak about it so openly, I admire that you do. I feel like everyone who goes through this would benefit a lot by talking to people who also gone thru the same thing. Sharing and assessing how similar these experiences are and how different they can be from person to person is very therapeutic. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and tell you that you've gained a new follower on social media. Sorry for my bad english. Best wishes.
Thank you for sharing. It means a lot to mean when people tell me my story has helped them on their journey. I am sorry to hear you also went through psychosis, but I'm glad to hear that this video makes you feel like you are not alone. I think i will probably make more videos about psychosis because of the positive feedback I have been getting from them. I hope you enjoy those. Thank you for your support and also you have great english!
You are so right, one episode can be completely different to another one
How many months your first episode psychosis and second episode psychosis last
Thanks for this video I had my first episode in November 2018 and I just want to feel back to myself already...I just feel super withdrawn from everyone around me and I am just not the same as I was before. Good to be reassured it can take a substantial amount of time to get feeling right again.
Of course you dont feel the same as before and that is certainly understandable. Go easy on yourself and turn your experience into a positive....instead of, of my god, whst the heck was that about, why.....say to yourself....I am stronge and I can make it through and even potentially help someone who is not as far along as you. Dont look back, look ahead.
Are you feeling better yet?
What changes after you recover. I sense changes within me but will that change when I’m back to myself
Thank you 💟 Good luck young man.
Daughter was just diagnosed . I appreciate your time in making this video . Continue to build and make videos like this please - it helps us going through it ❤ Blessings to you All 🙏🏼✝️
it took me like 8 months to recover, but 1.5 years to get off depression which came after because of the medicine. I dont know how you survived 4 years, hope youre well now god bless
My psychosis was weeeeird. Had a bad LSD trip NYE of 2020. When the pandemic hit i was convinced my soul was stuck in some dark alternative reality. I lost a close family member & felt like the world was punishing me. I still suffer with anxiety and derealization at times, but my best advice is to surrender to the experience. Therapy, meditation, & journaling has helped immensely
Thank you for sharing!
This is what im going through now
@@jessicaashton9861 Im sorry to hear that. I know how scary it can feel. Not to sound cliche, but time really does heal. In a weird way it felt like the universe was trying to teach me a few things to understand myself better. 2 years later and I am definitely more stable. All I can say is hang in there & ride the wave
@@TheBlueEmu98 did you take medication
@randall-flagg I can definitely see that. It’s all in the mindset
Thanks for this video. Reminds me that it takes time. “Restructuring my world view,” as you put it, is taking a long time. I’m in no hurry to get off medication. I’d rather be safe from another episode. It’s been about a year for me.
Just recently almost had a relapse from psychosis, well, I was dealing with delusions again. I have the same mindset, not in a rush to get off medication, I'd rather be a little miserable suffering the side effects than not be sane.
I’m not here to push any sort of religious practice, but the philosophy behind Buddhism really helped me personally with the change in mindset.
Good info. Thanks for sharing your story to help others.
Tysm for your insights! I’m on meds for psychosis I discovered a month ago and I was so upset that there’s so little information about it. I really felt a lot better listening to you talk about this. I know the slower and more sober pace is going to be good for me, I’m just worried bc I suffer from chronic pain, don’t react to most meds well, and I used cannabis heavily for years to treat my fibromyalgia pain… I’m successfully weaning off the weed but my body pain is astronomical and very distressing in itself… when it’s really bad I go to the ER for ketamine. I’m not sure that’s an option anymore bc of the dissociative quality of the medication. I’m scared bc I’ve already lost so much quality of life. I do just want it to be over (the psychosis).
I am sorry to hear about your situation. It definitely sounds like a challenge in multiple ways. I appreciate you sharing and hope it gets better for you.
Its great your speaking about it it also helps people understand who are support for others and dont understand. I wish I knew it takes years to recover when I needed this info years ago. How hard is it when psychosis happens regularly.
Thanks for this. I love that you put it, "evaluate how you are based off how functional you are, not based on how much medication you take." I used to think tapering down meds. translated to success and being able to function; (certain antipsychotics and their side effects can make it challenge to function at workplaces), but I wish I saw this earlier before I tapered down because I thought that was the only option for me. It, in addition to some events, led to an extended psychotic episode and multiple hospitalizations last/this year. I am not willing to taper down or quit again, that would be quitting on myself and other people in my life, even people who are very very distant and no longer in my life but still 'interconnected' and affected indirectly/directly. It definitely has consequences to taper off completely and can be incredibly destructive/damaging. The hardest thing for me with certain meds. was the side effects but I think in hindsight, I would've taken the time off and gone on disability leave just to try out different medications, which I'm currently going through. I also really love how you put it, "deconstructing" thoughts and "realizing that some of them aren't true". Sometimes I need a reality check and feel depressive from ruminating over the past but I'm looking forward to trying ACT therapy to be grounded and rooted in the present moment. Thanks!
You are full of humility, I hope that divine guidance will heal your beautiful mind.
hey man loved your video. Its been 5 months since my psychosis and I've started tapering off my medication (started with 2mg of abilify and now I'm on 1mg). I think meds are important in the early stages, but can have sometimes have bad side effects as well (makes me feel like a zombie occasionally, Anyway, I just wanted to recommend to you marijuana anonymous! The program helps keep me sober and refrain from going back to smoking weed (also the thought of going back into a psychosis makes me also want to stay sober). I think if people can stay sober no matter what, then a lot more people can go off medication in time. thanks again for the video man you've helped me along my whole recovery.
Family bringing up and Surroundings of growing up ,School ,also can play a big part in mental ,emotional Trauma , Causing many emotional roller Coaster ups and downs , bringing on much less self esteem . PTSD ADHD . a big mistake being talked in to taking dexamethisone just made every thing much more confusing adding more pain and suffering. Thanks for your video , for it's good to be able to know , some one feeling so alone has a video to back them self up a little,and share it with others who do not understand .
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. That must have been really hard to get through and come to terms with. Environment and conditioning has a huge impact on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health, totally agree. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing your story. I hope you are doing better now.
@@justbeinghayden9451 Sorry my bell icon only notice me when it feals like it. really sucks and how it works with you tube Reps or Moderators, i Don't know. Any way i am in about 4 years and not fully recovered from steroid Psychossis caused from Dexamethisone injection treated for poison ivy. FDA still not approved this man made hormone is in one of the Vaccines. Steroid Psychossis is one of the worse you can go through. Adrenal glands failing with immune out of Control and possible Autoimmune Syndrome for life. Cortisol level out of control and Adrenal Glans are what Give You that REAL LIFE HAPPY FEELING. When i went through the worse part of it around 2 years ago , i Felt constant suffering agony of Fealing like i was in a Grave six feat under and also i think i new that i am alone with this and not one person or Spirit Like God is going to rescue me. Suicide was out of the question for i was in such agony by brain fat loss agony Suffering i did not know how to think of it. i also did not know how to think of hell. i was in deep fear and surly dying in a way i could not be allowed to know . Sorry really any way to try and tell any one is Gone and i would not wish this on Satin him self. Don't really mean Satin but finding what i want is not in right now. Today i still Waken Depressed in DARK PLACE LIKE AND HELL IS A PLACE. But the Good thing is now its not as bad and i come out of it about 1 1/2 hours and start my day. Thanks for caring my Friend .
This is for everyone going through psychosis: Stay strong, you will be all right! You’re not alone. Contact someone to help you through this. I had drug induced psychosis from weed and DMT and i felt like i’ll never feel ok and my life is lost but it’s not. I am completely fine and happy right now after 2 months of recovery without medication. I am back to my normal life like nothing has happened. So have hope and patience and everything will be okay♥️♥️
I am happy you recovered so quickly. Thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for sharing that!
Were you smoking a lot of weed when it was induced or here and there?
How did you recover? Can you please right here? Or whatever I can give you my info? My Daughter has same problem from weed and drugs
I used to recommend DMT and LSD to people, now I would never recommend either bc you never know how your mind will react. I am still trying to make sense of this reality and feel like I need to learn to be human again.
You have so much similar experience like me, it's amazing I've found your channel! I think reaching successful recovery (or at least long term stability), I think we're absolutely qualified to talk about it, even about medication. Lot of psychiatrists (at least in my country) insist with their (false) authority on a particular type, whereas in reality different meds suit different people and doctors should act more like guides in searching for a good meds rather than authoritative prescribers of their favorite brand.. love your inspirational content, thank you!
I would agree. It's all about developing tools that help you get where you want to be and medication is one of those tools. Only you know how the medication makes you feel, so the doctors should always working with their patients and not dictating what is best for them. Thank you for sharing!
Hey, thanks for the much needed video. Its been a year since my psychosis and i still have difficulty talking normally or trying to explain my situation to others or focusing on anything for long. I'm hoping its just a matter of time even though sometimes it feels hopeless
It took me time to feel like I was able to do things again. I don't know if you will get back to the level of comfort you had before, but just take little steps towards your goals and acknowledge the progress you do make. It's not an easy path, but it did get better for me. Wishing you strength on your path 🙏
It's not hopeless I felt the same, it will come back. I'm just two years after my second and everyone is commenting on how I'm way more spontaneous and coherent in my speach and thought processes. It's really normal to feel like that for awhile.
This was helpful to hear. Nice vid
Very helpful video, thank you :)
According to my research, a strict diet regimen is extremely important. Check out some scientific papers in relation to how a ketogenic diet or being in ketosis can play a role in reversing psychosis. The science is still new but there are many medical professionals recommending this to patients with psychosis already. There are vids on youtube talking about this as well.
Recovery: learning self-care and kindness towards oneself is difficult to learn 🇮🇪
Yes it is. It is not something that is taught to us usually. It is something that we have to discover on our own for the most part.
@@justbeinghayden9451 keep safe 🇮🇪

wishin ease along your journey 💫
Thank you! You too!
Thanks 4 sharin ur experience, i’ve recovered 1 year ago but i decided to quit meds cold turkey, it was a bad decision and i suffered alot, now iam on meds again, plan to stick on it for a long period of time.
I'm sorry to hear you had that bad experience. Hope things are better now. Thanks for sharing.
Turkish people every one is have schzorpania and there is have a lot people like a animals i 80% received in 7 monts I take cold shower every day for 20 mints and 2 hours meditation every day 12 km running every morning
Almost 3 years. Triggered by 2,5 years heavy IVF hormones. 6 cycles, 1 miscarriage. Had prior mental health issues between 14-28: I almost died. Not leaving my room since months and have no means to contact outside world. Only this feels safe. Diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia. Im 41 and pregnant.
This is hopeful, mines gone on a year now and I've resigned to thinking this will be forever. I'm taking risperidone which helps slightly, but the voices are here everyday regardless. Thanks
Sorry hear you are still hearing voices, I'm sure that is frustrating. Hope it gets better with more time.
I just woke up out of psychosis I felt a shift of energy surge through my body while I was dreaming I woke up singing and i feel this difference within me and my outlook on the world isn’t so warped I feel like I also have control over my thoughts this is absolutely unbelievable because I didn’t even think I was in psychosis I had been using amphetamine in the past and I know things weren’t right but I couldn’t put my finger on it It was like being clouded with this dark energy on me I was also praying to God yesterday because I was in such a dark place
How long did your psychosis last?
Thank you for sharing.
@@kt1696 unfortunately iv gone back into the cloud of smoke I still trying to work on my self but definitely felt a shift this time last year
@@lucaspitt500 it's a tough thing to deal with, I'll pray for you, if that's OK, to find healing and your way back to full health. God bless.
I had an episode 5 years ago. I’m doing a lot better now basically back to normal. Except I feel more stone-faced & unemotional really, when talking to other people. Its like I dont care to talk to people and struggle with eye contact often now, still have anxiety. Does this ever go away? It is hard to describe but almost like Im dead in the eyes. I can kind of fake a happy convo but after a long convo its like I get tired. But on the bright side I am thankful I recovered to full function other than that, I am able to study in a masters degree right now and have had a few jobs also over the past years and feel stable and somewhat happy now often, hopefully that can motivate others to hear that it is fixable!
Do you take medications
Aside from medication and staying connected to my dr and therapist, some things that also helped me was sticking to a simple daily routine and focusing on healthy daily habits like showering, nourishing my body, and physical movement. Staying organized and connected to your daily routine helps me feel stable and “here”. Also CBD oil and staying in touch with the people in my life who make me feel safe and understood. Love you all 💖💖💖
Totally agree! I do all of those things as well and I also used cbd! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Hi, can one take cbd oil while on antidepressants. Also, how does the oil help you
I am about 5 months psychosis free. But I still notice my inner state is kind of unstable. I am more prone to anxiety and all that Jazz. Currently on 300 mg of quetiapine. I had an idea that I want to go off my meds ASAP cause of the side effects (( . Now after watching you I’d probably continue my treatment plan, and thank you! You were really helpful
Thank you for sharing your story. It's important to stay in communication with your healthcare providers. If the side effects are too bad tell your psychiatrist about it. You can work with them, you don't have to let them dictate what you take and how much. It's a relationship and it's your body. Just make sure you are working with them because they know the medications and about psychosis, etc. Best wishes to you!
Thanks a lot for your video.
This clip has been a Godsend for me. I'm still coming out of a psychosis. My 2nd serious psychosis. Cannabis triggered it (obscene amounts for 11 months), to try and deal with medication resistant (so I don't use medication for it) bipolar type 2- rapid mood cycling, and apparently cptsd as well my local public hospital told me recently) Yeah, it's a lot to take in. I'm still trying to do just that.
Thank you for being honest with your journey back from psychosis. I'm obviously am being way too demanding on myself. I'm barely even out of it ffs. Sigh*.
Your authenticity shines though in this clip, thank you for sharing yourself for a very raw and noble cause. People need to know the truth; especially people who have their own struggles with psychosis!
I'm am sorry to hear you have struggled so much. I am glad the video was helpful for you!
Did cannabis trigger both episodes? I’m guessing you had to let it go? Sigh*. I ask because cannabis played a role in my first and only experience with psychosis....still recovering, been depressed lately and so tempted to go back to the thing that may have caused all this....addiction is cray...
@@SimpleBach Cannabis triggered both episodes and yes I had to let it go. I was tempted the second time and that is what triggered the psychosis. I had the urge come up again and I found an alternative that works for me which is hemp or cbd flower. It allows me to still have something I can use to relax without triggering psychosis, but check with your doctor first before to see if it interacts with medication and if it would be okay for you to use.
@@SimpleBach yes, my cannabis use definitely lead to it, but what made this 2nd psychosis really, really bad, was adding a bit of ice use to the mix. As a result of having such a bad experience with a prolonged psychosis (due to so much weed, and for so many months straight), it's turned me off of it for good. It put me in a horrible place that I NEVER want to go back to. For me, that next cone would only serve to take me back to something, that I had to put myself through two hospital stays for a detox during said psychosis (and hypomania as I'm bipolar type 2), and then progressed to an horrid home detox following just to get off it. You could say that my very use of weed during this stint traumatised me basically. At least 1 bong every 30 mins or I'd start sweating, literally.
I will never ingest thc (or other illicit substances) again. That kettle of fish is a nightmare that I'll do without from now on thanks. My relationship with weed has always been as a binge-type user, but my last stint was my first fulltime, 2/3 to 1 oz a week for a year, and with my mental health issues combined, it also very nearly lead to me taking my life.
I've had to learn the hard way that trying to treat my depressive spells which are numerous, with weed, is like a using a crappy bandaid cure. I'm now 6 months away from weed and I'm much better off for it.
If you've used weed to deal with mental health issues such as depression, it might serve you to try and work out why you get depression... it might be worth getting a diagnosis as well, if you feel that there's any underlying causes for your depression if it is chronic in nature, so that some treatment solutions might then present themselves to you; I was recently diagnosed with cptsd as well as bipolar, and I've now started seeing a qualified psychologist to help me deal with things. Meds have rarely worked for me in the past. I'm currently taking something that is helping me though.
Whatever your choices, best of luck on your journey Brian.✌
what happened to Earth thanks for the response. Yea, I was diagnosed with bipolar as well. It’s quite a ride. Best of luck to you as well!
I feel so safe in these comments, I was so scared when I experienced pyschosis. Mines was definitely caused by me trying to be something I wasn’t. I tried becoming a model I wanted to pursue everyone in the room into thinking I’m some beautiful model. By the way I spoke’ and did my features and cat walked. Model life was getting hard it wasn’t my usual diet. I began to think everyone was talking about me as I passed by and even thought my neighbors were watching me from they’re windows. I was also in foster care w terrible people bullying me and picking on me for being plus size.
I remember playing back and forth in my mind my childhood/ high school. I could still hear his voice and laugh. I even thought he was in the room I’d get so shy but little did I know I was having a psychotic episode. I didn’t know why I felt the way I did. I was in and out mental hospitals trying to figure out if I was okay. I’d get injected fluids to put me to “sleep” for a day and wake up the next day hungry and confused. Ofc I eventually stopped caring about what people thought of me since I lost touch with reality and didn’t even know where I was located at, these people won’t ever see me again? After a few times of realizing why I was experiencing psychosis I understood that my environment wasn’t healthy. My family was sick and tired of me in and out the hospital and calling them in tears on how girls stole my phone or broke my things. I had no one! All alone at 17 Im at peace and know I went through this for a reason. But real shit: is there a cure? YES. Good medication & better at home environment. Daily agendas. Do things you like. (if you are plant based I get it) your natural and learn herbs and tea can cure but everyone’s body is different.
You have to be careful on your beliefs and things you put in ur mind and body. I loved horror movies growing up now, I can’t dare watch any w/o my pyschosis creeping up on me.
To this day I get told I look like a model but little do they know that haunts me.
I can’t believe I’m sharing this to the internet but I think I people need to feel understood
Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad you feel comfortable 🙂 Great message.
I had a short psychisis 1.6years ago during my first ayahuasca circle. It took me around 1 year to recover. It takes time indeed. Just trust your mind and body to be able to heal over time.
Did you take any medication?
Did you take meds?
No. Never. Just dealing with it. Vitamin D and C only
Also, being able to talk to someone without being judged helped.
Aigars Bru but what if i have auditory hallucinations ? The meds helped me get rid of them if i stop the medications will they come back?
i had brutal first incident of bipolar mania with psychosis, it has destroyed my ability to do art (my life passion and career) so i have considered k*lling myself, it is evil, but im still here, hoping i get better.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience and I'm glad you decided to not kill yourself. I also felt suicidal when I was recovering. During my experience it took a while for me to get to a place where I felt like I could give and create again. Know that you may not be the same again, but its not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of people draw inspiration from their experience to create something or express their experience. Psychosis is definitely a hard experience there is no debating that, but just know that you are not psychosis, it is just something you experienced. With time you can decide what path or direction you want to choose, while life may be a little different know that there still is hope and a potential for a fruitful life after psychosis. Wishing you the best in your recovery. Thank you for sharing your story.
Omg ur are so right man I been on meds I make a year already but I wana stop taking it because it affected my art skills I be too lazy to do thing before meds I was good at boxing strong fast athletic then when I got put on meds it messed things up for me
@@CarlosMartinez-ds3wc It might be worth telling your doctor how you are feeling. I hope you can find something that makes you feel better. I can understand why that would be devastating.
@@justbeinghayden9451 yes brotha n hopefully I recover I was having paranoia like scared for no reason n visual hallucinations but with the meds it helped too I’m not gon lie but yes for sure I’m gon speak to my doctor
@hi man...I hope we make it!
God bless you thanks for sharing yr experience
Legend man thanks.
Hey Hayden, thanks for your video.
One thing i find similar with all these videos and my own experience has been the use of psychedelics, cannabis in particular. My first psychosis was brought on by cannabis and then the meds the doctors put me on made me feel zombielike all the time and I couldn't stand it so I went off them and after two years travelled to South America to do Ayahuasca. When i got back home I felt great but then the voices came and they weren't negative but I succumbed to trying Cannabis again. Then it got worse. So maybe we both have drug induced bipolar or schizophrenia but its not our state all the time. Meds for now but hopefully not for life.
Thank you kind sir.
My son has psychosis from methamphetamines Denny's in jail right now and I don't know how to talk to him to try to have him even realize what he's doing do you have any kind of advice since you've been through it
Very informative 💪🏾
nice bru! and good job man - getting through what you went through and for this info. what did you do about work? because that can also be terrifying in a way during the recovery process. thanks
Thank you! I made a video about returning to work too 🙂
Good video, thanks for that!😊
I have psychosis caused by weed, it happened when Covid crisis started. (I believe that situation was not a help on my state of mind)
Basicaly I felt my mind and heart destroyed, like my souls flied away, and that kind of stuffs..That was almost 4 years before. Ive never been treated by medicine, felt so numb and bad that can’t even know its a psychosis. And I think it might be schisoprenia as well, but than slowly slowly I got better. Now Im quite good, but I feel I never be the same again. But things are quite normal.
Was good to see this video, thanks! 😊
Thank you for sharing!
How long did your episode last? What do you believe cause it? Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Withdrawal symptoms from pharma meds can be confused for "illness". It's scary that these meds are given without long term studies. How did you get on them anyway?
I was hospitalized then they put me on medication there. Still on 0.5mg of risperidone. Helps me stay balanced.
It took me 3 years to get out of psychosis. It’s tough but it’s something you can work through and recovering is like starting your whole life over
Thankyou for this video I appreciate it alot. I had a psychosis about 7 months ago, I am no longer psychotic on medication, however my sleep has been messed up ever since. I cannot sleep without a high dose of olanzapine. Have i permanently altered my brain or does the natural sleep get better?
That is not a question that I would know. Maybe ask a psychiatrist or check reddit? Sometimes it can take time for the body to adjust.
This guy is speaking a lot of wisdom. Psychosis is not like an ear infection, you don’t take medication like an antibiotic. Stay in treatment, find a counselor and work with your doctor. Get a support network. You can’t heal if you keep taking mind altering substances which further complicate your illness. Sorry if that is not what you want to hear, but reality can be difficult. Stay on the right path and work at getting better. What’s the alternative? You just cause yourself more damage. You gain a lot from dealing with difficult problems, and there is often purpose in pain.
I am 3 years out and doing pretty good now except I still have emotional flatness, a dead look in my eye to where I dont even like looking at people when talking, has anyone had this and been able to improve this?? Thanks
-- hi. That might be what they call a “negative symptom” to some disorders of psychosis. There are antipsychotic medications that may help that. Ask a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.
i had a psychotic episode from marijuana and and it was over in 3 hours and then i didn't tale any meds .. i had weirds things happen to me the next few months. will i recover fully without meds ?
I don't know you or your experience and I am not trained to diagnose, but from what I have seen some people do fine without meds and some need meds to stay grounded. If things start getting weird and you think you are the messiah or something try to go to a place where you can get professional care. It might be a good idea to talk with a doctor though and have an assessment done, they might be able to to help your recovery process.
This really helped me thankyou
Pretty helpful. Thanks.
Recovering from psychosis rn and I'm taking risperidone also thanks for this video it helped alot. I thought I'd just be normal after leaving the hospital but I've felt off everday but I think I should take my time since I takes so long.
Risprodone helps me a lot
@super batarang best thing u can do is be there for her and keep an open mind she’s prbably going through a ton i definitely got into a deep phycosis hearing voices screaming , seeing things , terrified of reality, felt like a video game and I could just pull reality away, constant out of body experiences and nightmares every night, paranoid some ones after me , and very hyper aware of reality , pure terror 24/7, 99% of its unexplainable but 1.5 mg of risprodone nearly stopped all of that , I have my ups and downs but nowhere near as bad as it was.
@@ta.entmoney3405 i am taking risperidone 0.5 mg from.past 10 days and experiencing side effects though little change has been seen.Side effects which i am facing are stiffness,improper facial movement,hand tremors,heaviness please tell me how many days will side effect persist and then go away
@@versatilehumanbeing6013 I’m on 1.5 mg most side effects went away within a week but the ones that stayed were acne , weight gain, no emotion, no energy or motivation, low libido, tremors, stiffness, and i just wasn’t me anymore , however it was better than phycosis but I’m weaning off it at the moment
@@ta.entmoney3405 glad to hear bro hope u are doing well i have rescheduled my appointment on tuesday which was earlier on thursday dye to horrendous side effects not gonna take this medication for 2 days unless and until my doc prescribe me some to wean of these side effects its difficult to function like this
Thank you for the video. Going through an lsd psychosis
Sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon!
LSD omg please explain or make a video
i hope you get better. you will get better man 👍🏻🙂
How are you now?
Mr Filch got another short psychosis with ketamine, but I feel great now
Thank you
It's been about 5-6 years I don't feel any different, medications and all, things just don't feel natural I always get so confused over simple things I'm really really sick of this I hate it I'm 18 I've had medications and worked out heaps kept myself active but never feel any different and I've been open to it but I'm just starting to accept it. for those like me who have lived with this for awhile keep going and don't give up even if things don't change I've noticed it's me who holds me back not the psychosis it plays a significant role hell I can't even really find the confidence to drive as I don't feel comfortable or coordinated on the road or in general but things do change and I have done heaps of drugs and they make me feel better temporarily which would only make it worst once you stop I used to believe in these fairytale like fantasy and all other types of stuff sometimes I have memories but I can't tell if they are dreams or real life honestly the best thing you can do is stay healthy and never give up. Have hope and stay hopeful you got this! :)
Thank you for sharing your story!
Please seek help with a first episode psychosis clinic the treatment is usually free and they really help / goal is to restructure you thinking behaviors and launch your life. You are young some have cognitive remediation programs to to help rewrite brain you have lots of brain growth ahead of you. You’re in a very good position to recover
I’ve had psychosis recently which lasted for two weeks. The scariest experience I’ve ever had. I got out of my main delusion by lifting weights in the gym and am currently in a recovery. I have bpd but unsure now wether I have anything else going on as well. I was told to take 5 mg of aripiprazole for two weeks and then see how the things go. Has anyone taken it? It’s the only medication they prescribed.
As for the synchronicities and spiritual background to it, how long does it take to “reprogram” your mind? I’ve indeed become very rational, with a switch, but I notice that the more grounded I get, the more prone I am to believing in the Universe again… Can you get rid of those beliefs fully?
And thanks a lot for the video. In my country no one seems to know what psychosis is, now I feel less lonely in all of this…
Its been about a year since my last minor psychotic episode. Since then, I did a TON of what you called "Restructuring my world view" and "seeing how some spiritual things arent true".
Im reading a journal I kept last year and I see how I wrote"11:11 is not a sign, 11:11 is a time. Me being aware of this number is not a sign. This awareness is no different than being aware of numbers on a keyboard, numbers in a journal, numbers on a shirt. There is no pattern. There is numbers 0-9. 10 digits made into any desire pattern. There need be no pattern recognition"
From my perspective, this falls right in line with what you said about seeing how certain things arent true. Its my belief that my own personal psychosis stemmed LARGELY (Id say 70%) from false beliefs, but also lack of sleep, lack of food, and weed were other factors. Some things I say are false beliefs are things that are 'mystical' such as:
tarot cards
occult rituals
astrology
numerology
law of attraction
synchronicity
anything related to before birth or after death (reincarnation for example)
thinking that my first thought about something I dont know about is true
Im glad theres another person out there going through this process of distancing themselves from the things that led them to psychosis. Im glad when I see how youre doing very similar things to what Ive done (like journalling and restructuring worldview). I feel even more hopeful that Im on the path that doesnt go down psychosis ever again. And I get a sense of peace when watching your video and writing all this down. I appreciate all this
Have you drawn what your psychosis experience felt like?
Thanks for sharing! Glad my sharing was helpful for you 🙂. I have drawn images about my psychosis and thought my psychosis but never what my psychosis felt like. Could be an interesting exercise to try 👍
@@justbeinghayden9451 Would you be willing to share those drawings? Id like to see them because im curious what the experience interpretative looks like to other people and I think Id get more of a sense of connection
@@justbeinghayden9451 what type of phsycosis do you have?...Do you have sczophernia?
I believe in weird stuff and I'm not psychotic. I refuse to go atheist!
Wow! I believe in a lot of those things. I even bought books on them. In the end I became a Christian so I still have a spiritual aspect of my life. One of my friends who also suffers from psychosis believes in the stuff you listed as well. Do we really have to distance ourselves from this? Are these really the things that lead to psychosis?
My medication (and I've tried several) makes it so that my eyesight is blurry and I feel kind of disconnected. Has anyone else dealt with this? And how do you cope with it? I'm on Prolixin 10mg 2x day
Have you talked to your doctor about the side effects you are experiencing?
@@justbeinghayden9451 Not yet but I will be tomorrow
Myxedema psychosis is an uncommon manifestation of primary hypothyroidism. Most often, this disease state can be found in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis or after total thyroidectomy. An insidious onset of psychiatric symptoms, such as dementia and delirium, can develop in patients with chronic hypothyroidism. Thyroid function should be investigated in all patients presenting with mania or psychotic symptoms. Without an underlying psychiatric illness, thyroid hormone replacement may suffice in the treatment of acute onset psychosis in the context of severe hypothyroidism
I had a psychosis caused by cannabis and then took antipsychotics that made me numb, but I could stop them but I wonder when my sensations and feelings will come back? can someone help me?
Your sensitivity should come back as you decrease the dose. Just make sure you talk to your doctor about it. They will know the mediations better than I do. And definitely don't decrease or go off the medication without talking to them first.
3 years to heal... it takes time, so be gentle with yourself 💜 thank you for the vid, definitely relate.
gets easier with time, first year post felt like hell and got ptsd after. things are much better, never needed meds, and finally quit smoking
if you are struggling rn, i know things may seem unbearable in the moment. just know it gets better, you are worthy, and you're not alone. had to learn forgiveness, trust, and unconditional love for myself. what a journey, but i wouldn't change it, learned so much. beauty within the pain
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks I definitely needed to hear this today I'm going through it right now and its been rough 😔🙏
@@jbullthekingofentertainment are you feeling better yet?
@@adamo36532 alot better thanks for asking I take medicine but sometimes I still do have problems
Thanks ❤️❤️
Thanks this was very helpful to me ,
i have been confused , i struggle to talk about my experience , i isolate alot. im reaching out to you for help or support .
It can be difficult to talk about for sure. I'm glad you had the courage to reach out. If you message me on Instagram or on my email, @hmoreau19 or hmoreau@live.com respectively, we can chat and maybe setup a session.
Hey there, have you tried niacin as a drug replacement? What did you do to heal? Micronutrients? Emotional balance through heart brain coherence? I would appreciate a few answers. I've been taking Abilify myself for 4 years and would rather live drug-free.
I'm still on some medication. I'm on a low dose .5 mg. I use mindfulness mostly for healing. A lot of it was just time for me, but also being gentler with myself and having a routine. I also eat healthy which probably helps. It's all about finding tools that are helpful and for me medication is one of them.
Niacin has been studied and is effective at very high doses needing to be monitored by dr
Are you currently on .5 mg or 5 mg of risperidone? How does one gauge whether they've recovered from psychosis? I feel like I've recovered as I don't really have any of the psychosis symptoms, but I still feel general discomfort which I cannot put into words.
I am on .5mg. Honestly there is no full recovery from psychosis, its always going to be a part of me. But I guess recovery means when you feel like you are able to function in the world again and/or feel generally comfortable with your mental health. How long ago was your psychosis?
Isn’t .5 too low of a dose? I tried getting my dose lowered from 4mg, but the docs say they can’t have me on a dose lower than 4mg for the duration of at least an year.
@@christosorel346 The dose works for me but I'm sensitive to medication. I would listen to your doctors. The first year is pretty important as far as recovery goes and then after that year it seems like they are willing to help you taper. I can imagine the side effects are not fun though... If they are too bad I'm sure that they will work with you get the symptoms to a more manageable level.
Christo Sorel - if they taper you too quickly you may get a spike in anxiety and depression which can lead to more problems. Be cautious. Ask your doc questions.
🙂🌹
Thank you hayden
Wishing you the best in that process! 🙏
@@justbeinghayden9451 I'm scared, this is the second attempt and i kinda got the same feeling last time which made me abort the mission and go back to the medication..
I hope it'll pass this time and i succeed and be cured 100% 😔
Been recovering for a month now, very scared and feel like I can’t articulate what I’m going through with my friends, what was your experience like early on after your first episode when it comes to socialising?
After a month it is normal to still feel like its hard to socialize, it will take time. The biggest thing is to keep putting yourself in social situations over time. It will take some practice to get back into it, but gradually you should feel more and more comfortable with it. It took me like 2 or 3 years before I felt really comfortable being fully social again. It could be faster for you though! So be patient with yourself and just keep on practicing at a rate you can handle and you'll start to get the hang of it.
@@justbeinghayden9451 hey, would you be willing to talk to me? I am recovering from psychosis and having a really difficult time
@@ilovemegandliz Yeah I'd be happy to. You can reach out to me on Instagram @hmoreau19 or email hmoreau@live.com. We can setup a session from there.
Hi, thank you for posting this. Do you have any suggestions for someone supporting a loved one recovering from psychosis?
I do! I will have a video posting either today or tomorrow that highlight the key points that I have noticed in my experience with psychosis as well as working with families dealing with psychosis.
I had psychosis, bipolar and I was highly brainwashed by a cult and cults on internet with about the same ideology. It have been really hard to deprogram the delusional thoughta and the thoughts that I gained from the cults all by myself. I took LSD one time and it made me realize that I had delusions and was brainwashed but at the same time it made me even more psychotic so I fought againts the psychosis and brainwashing for 3 years before I surrendered and got medication. Even though I'm medicated I still fight againts those thoughts a little bit because I was so brainwashed and psychotic. I also had and have low selfesteem, social anxiety, depression, bipolar and anxiety at the same time so there is alot that need healing. I have accepted that I will most probably never be complete as a person but I still have hope that i'll be happy one day.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am sure there are many people in this community who resonate with your story. I am sorry you have undergone such hardship. I also wish you a sense of wholeness and peace. You are brave for sharing and resilient for making it this far in your journey. Focus on small goals, small steps, and work on what you can control. Much love ❤.
What did they do to you bro ? And where was that ?
Im currently on 2mg of risperidone due to smoking k2 spice psychosis did you gradually lower your dose ?
I did after my first psychosis. I came out of the hospital at .75mg, I am generally sensitive to medication, then lowered it down slowly. I have been at .5mg since my second psychosis, found I am better when I am on it. Psychosis symptoms don't necessarily come on when I'm not on it, but it does make it easier for me to function in general. If you want to taper down a little bit I would recommend talking with your doctor about it so you do it in a safe way.
informal inquiry thanks dude for sure i want to lower my dose because these side effects are bad for me having anxiety and depression thats the main reason i want to lower my dose even tho im 4 months with it i wish the day i can be off of them completely
@@thc7865From my experience, the anxiety and depression could also be the after effect of psychosis. I struggled with those even off of medication the first time around. Just be careful. Wish you the best.
It took me 7 years to recover from psychosis. Now I feel better and able to get into normal life. Thanks for sharing your story.
How did you recover? Ive been suffering with it for over 10 years
Was it gradual or did it all of a sudden just disappear over a few weeks?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
cool mandala, i have the exact same one, take care
