I developed physical problems; persistent sexual arousal disorder and urinary frequency. So i went mad for a while. But as it settled i noticed how organic my symptoms were. I read up on brain irregularities and i found my symptoms had overlap with many organic disorders. Eventually i came to the conclusion that my brain was in biological chaos.
Congrats on your success and wish you some more

This is sort of why I was asking what you were looking for because I know I kept looking for my mirror image and I never found it...no one could tell me if I was going to get better or not until I actually did. Pdoc simply said I had a good prognosis that and my huge ego could not accept the possibility of defeat was all I had to go on, well that and everyone around me was a cheerleader of sorts
And yes its a ton of work----and I can say this compared to other illnesses it truly is the worst...when I was 12 I lost the ability to walk(cerebellum damage)...while that sounds terrible I recovered from that in a few months over one summer and my biggest inconvenience was needing someone to help me move to the bathroom or wherever when I needed to go ----had to have surgery because my ovary was ruptured---extreme pain but it got better right after surgery---had reactive arthritis---months of chronic pain---none of these even remotely holds a candle to what I experienced with psychiatry and psychosis not even remotely, its something beyond a marathon but then you know that because you're living it...so I wish you luck and success on your journey as well.
