Just curious...for a period of a few weeks, I was hallucinating and my delusions were worse. I couldn't sleep due to the hallucinations. For the past week, I have been doing better. It would have been so much easier if I could have called my pdoc about a med change, but I didn't because I was afraid he would hospitalize me. I am a relatively new patient of his, and I'm not sure how he would react. I think some treatment providers have an extreme reaction to psychosis even though I live with it to some extent daily. I know I could just ask him when I see him next, but I'm curious how it is for you guys...can you bring up psychosis with your psychiatrist or therapist without being hospitalized? I've been blessed with good insight, so I usually recognize when I'm in trouble--but rarely have the courage to ask for help because I hate being hospitalized so much. I've never once had a good experience with hospitals...
