Hi, I am sorry that you have experienced all of this. Past and present. I am wondering if it is PTSD-related rather than psychosis. Have you had a psychotic break before? Bipolar 1 diagnosis? I have bipolar disorder 1 with occasional psychotic features. Over time, I have noticed a pattern, if you will, of what makes me susceptible to psychosis. For me, it usually is being under a very high level of stress for an extended period - coupled with a mixed or manic episode. I also have noticed over time that psychosis, if it is going to happen, kind of creeps up on me...a few delusional thoughts and/or hallucinations (usually visual) here and there. Is it like that for you? Your experience sounds extremely intense and I was wondering if it was PTSD-related since it hit so fast and hard? I have PTSD so I can relate there. Have you been sleeping OK? Were you intoxicated or high (no judging, just asking) when it happened?

I hope this helps. If you have a good relationship with your pdoc, I would mention it. Take care.
