You can't tell people right away that you have psychosis, some people you can never tell....but when you find the right people they will support you even if they can't fully understand what you're going through. Several of my friends have experienced psychosis though---I don't really seek them out but everyone seems have have a diagnosis of bipolar, sza or sz. My best friend said her mom had sz and she's bipolar II herself. Maybe looking for others with mental illness is the most effective route??
