Interesting. I had a four month long psychotic break. It started mid-August 2018 when I physically felt something snap in my brain. (See my reply to the same comment)

Would shrooms help you reset?
I'm pretty pro psychedelics, but you should know it's generally a REALLY bad idea for anyone with a history of psychosis to use them, to the point that I really implore you not to recommend them so casually to someone with such a history. That cohort is at very high risk and the use of psychedelics can really exacerbate the condition and make people less functional.
Yup. I’m bipolar.
I’ll pass. I’ve already had the shrooms experience and the complete brain reset without them.

I’m on antipsychotics and no one is going to let me go off them, including me.

I’m never, ever going off my antipsychotic.
