Hi everyone,
I am super embarrassed to be writing this, but my therapist said reaching out might help me shed some of the shame I feel.
I have affective psychosis and sometimes my state of mind gets so bad that I lose connection to my body, which can lead to bathroom accidents at times. This has put a strain on my family relationships as they are my caretakers and sometimes have to change and clean me if I am unable to take care of myself. I feel bad for this and disgusting even though I know it is not my fault. I have been doing well lately and only have accidents at night now, but I am still ashamed and sad at my condition.
How can I overcome feeling guilty over something I can’t control?
