They say a new self is born after a psychotic episode, that may be true and all, but my question is, does that new you ever get back to a normal you? Like do you feel 100% of things you were able to do in the past or is there a disability brought on from the psychotic episode. Tell me from your experience. I'm in another self debate.

You can never take away the experience of having a psychotic episode. It completely changed the way I look at the world. After being so sure of things and to later learn was all a false reallity completely changed my outlook. I am now very skeptical of feelings and impressions I have, but I am also much more empathetic to others point of view or struggles.
After my big episode it took me a while to come back to a feeling full functionality. I would not write yourself off as never being able to get to 100%. I'm not sure of your situation, but sometimes things like this help you get the help/medication to be better off in the long run. At the best of times I feel I am 150% as functional as I was before my episode. At the worst Maybe 30%. Give it time, this may work out for the best.
