I have spent about 12 years in prodromal psychosis to only suffer another ten years of acute psychosis thereafter, realizing this only recently. I was as good as dead for 22 years. AMA

Post Body

It blows my mind to think that I, a 41 year old adult, have spent more than half of my life in psychosis. The brain disease got me when I was 16-17 years old. Being about two and half years out of psychosis, I kind of feel like a 19-20 year old now because those psychotic years were an utter waste of existence. It’s like waking up from a coma, except it takes years to realize afterwards that you actually woke up from the coma in the first place.

I look forward to your questions and comments!

Take care.

Was there a specific incident that brought it on? How did you come out of it?

Do you remember your years? What was it like being in that state?
