I don't think you do fully recover. You now know your mind can do things you never thought possible. And you don't even know it's happening. How do you fully recover once you fully accept that? But it does get easier in time. Some of mine have even been funny despite it not being funny at all. Like when I was hospitalized and I thought my brother and his wife and my old boss had conspired to have me locked up and I asked a resident "please, be honest with me and tell me what's really going on here" and she proceeded to strip down naked in the garden area and told me we were all in a reality TV show and were on TV. I guess she was stripping for the cameras? Anyways, I believed her and ran to complain to the nursing staff because I never with cognitive mind signed a waiver authorizing them to put me on TV! I was so upset. Now I can laugh at that but it sure wasn't funny while it was happening.

Now I try to live a life surrounded by people I love and trust. They can let me know when I'm not myself and help me help myself. I do what I can to stay well and keep it from happening again. I let myself ENJOY life when stable because it's the good times which help us get through the bad.

In my case I also learn something about my psyche when I get delusional and try to gain knowledge in any areas I can....through all experience good and bad. Sometimes the best lesson I learn is that sometimes I not only need to accept help, I need to reach out and make sure I get it sometimes.

I'm so sorry for all you went through. Psychosis is no joke at all and changes you....but life does the same thing and you just got to keep reaching for the stars. (((Hugs))))
