It's super frustrating... psychosis is frustrating, and it doesn't make any sense, and as frustrating as it might be to us ("why can't you see that you're sick when we keep telling you?!") it still doesn't make sense to her... because she
is sick.
I've found that more often than not, when a person is in a psychotic state, the more you tell them that they're sick and psychotic, the more resistant to listening to you they become and the stronger the delusions can become, because you're just feeding into those persecutory beliefs by acknowledging them more and more. Unfortunately, sometimes people just need to wait it out until the meds start working, which can sometimes take awhile. The longer a person has been sick, the longer it will take to change that brain chemistry again. I wish there were a quicker, easier fix.
This is such an amazing community of people and we ALL want to help. I wish there were more we could do. I wish that telling people what reality is would make them believe it. I wish it were a faster, easier road to recovery with any mental illness... especially bipolar disorder.
That's just my $0.02...
Good luck, Eden. There's not much I'm certain of these days, but what I am sure of is that nothing is permanent. Things will start changing for you, getting better. Hang in there.
