I've been diagnosed as having weed induced psychosis. I tried meds but I found they made me worse and gave me a lot of side effects.

I've stopped smoking be but still suffer from audio hallucinations, not voices but I get paranoid when I hear ambient human chattering noise and assume people are dissing me and making fun of me.

Anyway, as a strategy, Ive started trying to eat more healthier, reducing processed sugars and general junk food...I know that positive habits can make a big deal with recovery but want to know if anybody had any other natural tactic s and strategies for improving mental health and if so could you share your success stories, it would inspire me to hear some Many thanks

Well, I am of the viewpoint that one doesn't 'recover' rather they reach a longterm state of 'recovery' that is always constant and needs to forever be worked on - whether it be naturally or with medication.

This I think is a question for your mental healthcare team. Don't be afraid to ask them - what kind of success have they observed for med-free 'treatment'?

Yeah ill tell you but you'll think I'm crazy. I was suddenly cured when I started taking mediumship classes. One of the things I had to do was called mirroring. You sit in front of a mirror and talk to yourself about one of the problems in your life. Let's say it's anxiety. You would start from the very first time in your life that you felt anxiety up to the very last time you felt anxiety and why you felt it and what was happening where you were at the time and however else it made you feel maybe it made you feel depressed. You'll probably be talking to yourself for awhile and if you truly do it correctly you should be crying, lol. Then at the end you forgive yourself and you tell yourself the you now is the one in control of your emotions not the passed you for whatever reason started your anxiety. Now I'm not sure if this would work if your problem was drug induced but if you do have a history with problems I would try it. Also thoughts are powerful what you think about yourself is who you are.

I don't know anything about what you're experiencing, but you might look into using amino acids to regulate/restore the neurotransmitters in your brain. Check out the book Heal with Amino Acids by Billie Sahley.

So many feelings and emotions are a due the neurotransmitters in our brains being out of balance, and instead of taking meds that really don't do much, it's better to give your body the nutrients in the form of amino acids to produce what it needs to function properly.

I can't possibly comment on what you have, but my "fixing agent" was meditation, and learning about myself. It took a long, long time however.. Still needs work !

I don't think I relate to the word recover anymore. I think like justafriend306 says, it is a lifetime task to keep everything balanced. I am convinced that for this balance it is best to eliminate alcohol, marijuana, other drugs, refined sugar, junk food, and toxic relationships.

I need some other things to happen like improved finances, career development, more people i.e. friends and other type relationships, social contacts, spiritual circles etc.

None of the above can happen if one is tied to addictions or unhealthy behaviors.
