Hello Everyone
I just want to say this thread was very good for me. I have psychosis and it can last for a long time with or without meds. It's triggered mainly by stress and anxiety just like my manic episodes so that's why I think they are not relieved fully by medication. My main auditory hallucination is the footsteps behind me which probably occur several times a week. Visually, I always see the same panting black dog or at night I sleep with the light on in the hall because I always see a dark figure standing in my door. I also hear voices, particularly a male voice who tells me to do things but that's when I'm really bad off. So I feel very relieved to know I'm not the only one who has psychosis and can talk about it with someone.
Thanks everyone
