After first episode

I was so terribly tired! That pills made me zombie. I was sleeping 14 hours a day. It was huge problem!

Other thing I thought was negative was decrease of symbolic thinking. I thouht like somebody stole my super power.

After some time I decided to quit antipsychotics. And lot of people around me thought It was a good idea. They saw that I am not able to function with this medication.

So I stopped take the pills. After some time things got normal again. I was active again. 

But some things was different than before my psychosis episode. I talked about strange stuff that I experienced during the episode. I believed that it was something very important and that I had right.

My disease eventually came back. But there was a long time (cca 8 months) when I was relatively normal.

First Hospitalization - part 2

I was recovering. I still had some delusions. But it was better. After being manic I was suffering post psychosis depression.

My thinking was still symbolic. When I was watching TV it was so cool! Every show had higher meaning.

I talked to some people who were hospitalized with me and made some friends. We talked about mysterious stuff together. We shared some of our delusions. 

I started to be very sleepy because of medication. But doctor thought I was better and so I was released from mental hospital.

I came back home and was going to school again.
