Recently I did a recovering from an episode post but what I am finding most difficult is the fact that I literally lost my mind. This was my first (and only, hopefully) psychotic break. In the last week, since I have been stable, family and my treatment team have been explaining to me how unwell I was. It has really floored me. Memories of my time unwell are also starting to trickle through. I feel so fragile mentally and emotionally but well none-the-less. It is like I have been hit by a massive truck or train. The experience has changed me at the core.

Has anyone else experienced these feelings of shock, overwhelm, fragility and grief after a psychotic break? What is the best way to recover?
