It became apparent that I am very traumatised from my lengthy mixed episode with psychosis. I have had many , many mixed episodes in the past and a couple with psychosis but this one has done a number on me. We discussed practical things I can do right now to help beginning to heal, and that the need to go through it more deeply may come up but no pressure. This is worse than I realised.
Despite the exhaustion and trauma I feel decent. About to have a much needed afternoon nap as my brain is fried and I have a spare hour.

It has at times taken a considerable amount of time to heal from the trauma of a psychotic episode. Just remember that you are free to heal in your own time. I even grieved one of my episodes because being sick meant I lost what I thought was The Holy Spirit. Honestly, if I focus on it, I can still take my mind back to that place.
