I went into a psychosis about two years ago. I ended up in the hospital and it took awhile to come out of it.
I was really foggy and dissociating a lot afterwards. It took some time but I did eventually get back to my old self.
What has seemed to change though is that my hypomanias have turned on me. Now when I get hypo I end up in a mixed state which for me can lead to psychosis. So I'm making sure to take all my meds and to follow doctors orders.
I came out of a mixed state recently and ended up in the hospital again so I'm very compliant now.
I think our brains become very vulnerable after a psychosis so that is why it is important to stay on our meds.
Hope that helped.
