hello enigma. i'll be the first to say meds aren't the end of you. the majority of us take meds, and deal with side-effects, and get on with our lives. don't worry if it comes to that... we get on with our lives... with or without meds.

you may be having a tough time, and I'll be the first to say psychosis is a *****. scary, painful, and disorienting. i dread when the warning signs start coming cuz i'm in for it again.

there's nothing to get over. you don't pull yourself out of psychosis, haha... it's like a different part of us we don't have access too that starts acting up... for lack of a better understanding. if you want my advice try to educate your spouse about what you're going through. in fact family education classes put on by mental health community programs are perfect for gaining a mutual understanding of what illnesses are like for people in close relationships.
