I had a five day episode about 9 months ago, triggered by an intensive meditation course. I had hallucinations, delusions, thought I was the new messiah, etc etc. Other things happened which I don't think are appropriate for Yahoo. I have been through severe depression since then. 9 months on, I just feel weird and empty and completely fed up with life. On Olanzapine (anti-psychotic), Depakote (mood stabiliser), and Citalopram (anti-depressants).

Typically? I don't think there is anything "typical" about a psychotic episode. There are too many different factors to weigh. What is your disorder? Are you taking your meds? How long have you been taking your meds? Do they need to be adjusted? Are you seeing your shrink? Drinking? Drugging?
I can see how it would vary from one person to the other in great extremes.
Perhaps what your question should have been was more of a survey...how long did it take you to recover from your last psychotic episode? It took me about a week...TO RECOVER FROM THE "EPISODE" - not the disorder.

Faith and love only comes to those who god favors. That's why I plan to hang myself tommorow night.
A year ago my ex-girlfriend and I were drinking and fighting. We both had been sober in AA before, but we started drinking together.
Anyway, she left me almost 1 year to the day today. We both went back to AA. Because she's a pretty girl lots of people rallied around her to support. All the men wanted to sleep with her, and some of them convinced her to do it.
She's sober, happy, and has a new boyfriend - my old sponsor. Go figure huh?
I went back the same day. No one shook my hand. No one said hello. No one welcomed me except during the obligitory 'hi bill' at all AA meetings.
I have not made a single friend during the past 3 years. The people who I thought were my friends, are hers. I have no money to pay for counceling nor can I afford any medical attention.
Somehow, the only option I see that will end this pain is to end my life. I plan to hang myself tommorow
