How bad did it get? When did you start feeling better? What helped most? What caused your psychosis? (schizophrenia, depression, mania, etc).
To answer my own question:
I'm going through my second (third? fourth?) psychotic episode, caused by schizotypal PD, and triggered by work stress. It's bad enough for me to be off work for a couple of months, but I'm starting work again soon.
The worst thing was feeling watched, my mind invaded by something else that I thought was going to destroy me. I also saw and heard things.
I'm not sure things are getting better. I still feel my world is like glass and things could look in whenever they want. I don't feel they are looking at me any more, but they feel nearby.
I'm on some medication, I don't know if it is helping much. Talking to my partner sometimes helps, sometimes it makes me exasperated. I've made a safe, quiet room in the house where I can retreat, that helps a bit. Going for walks helps. I'd love to hear more coping strategies.
