    Beautiful. I really enjoyed that podcast when that man was explaining how schizophrenics became alive again when they had a purpose, to help others.... I find that to be so true, when I give to others in need I get a "high" and I feel genuinely happy... thank you for this video, I really got a lot from it.
  • I had drug Induced psychosis @ 16yrs old (shoots, lsd, weed, binge drinking) after/during several traumas all through growing up into teens and during my 20's trying to run a household with a narcissistic fiance and children , was not healthy. After reading Viktor frankles book while copious amounts of wine and klonopin.. came rock bottom. End of one way into the next I had an awakening. I'm get so much help and understanding breaking the silence and breaking the fear When you had Carl Jung on another video I had to dig more. Thank you~ 🙌
  • I am sooooo glad you are talking about drugs so many people just feel that they just woke up and had psychosis ps sometimes it don't have to be cause from drugs it could be from energy drinks hmmm my purpose in life is knowing that there is a creator 🤗💕
  • @Baba6782
    Thank you so much, this is such an informative video. One of my loved one had a drug induce psychosis, this is the most helpful video I found ✨
  • @gaiadance
    Thankyou so much such a helpful take into recovery you are fantastic
  • @Zedigan
    You're videos are fantastic. I'm trying to learn a bit more about psychosis as I've had people come into my work, clearly having used substances of some sort, and have been incredible loud and abussive. I figure understanding what might be going through their head will help me handle them with a bit more compassion while also making sure I can keep myself safe. Again, Great videos! and best of luck to anyone on their journey to recovery!

    Layo you have just given me hope...❤❤thank God for you...

    I had drug psychosis for 26 years. 4 and a half years ago i quit drugs. I was quickly able to stop the anti psyk meds. However, whenever things in life go wrong all the old paranoid pathways in the brain fire right back up. Currently i just have to shove that crap down and ignore it but it would be great if it didnt happen.
  • I was abusing the shit out of cannabis to the point where 5,6,7,8 cones weren’t enough I kept going and going honestly you could catch me chain smoking that shit for hours, sometimes I’d forget how long I was sitting in my garage smoking, I tried quitting so many times although I knew all along I didn’t ever actually wanna stop because I always kept it around as a “just in case” I have psychosis, paranoia, it affects the way I view everything and everyone around me, I can’t focus, I’m not as intelligent, when I speak I always jumble my words/make up words even though in my head I think I’m saying something that makes sense, I had seizures because of it, sleep paralysis, horrific, twisted dreams, just before I quit I would see demons crawling around in my room, I could feel them gripping onto me, when I’d lay in bed I’d feel like bricks were being dropped onto my back and suffocating me into my sheets, i started skin picking, scratching at my skin until it bled because I couldn’t tell if I was actually itchy or not. I’m so ashamed I can’t keep eye contact, I always have my head down because I feel like people can see right through me, like they know. I did it because when I realised I could close my eyes and my imagination would become my reality when I opened them again it became my “friend”. I don’t regret it but I do because although I have had my worst times on it, I have also had the ability to reach euphorias I didn’t even know existed. But now I can’t even remember what “normal” feels like, everything feels like I’m still stuck in a fuzzy dream. Like I’m constantly waking up every second but I’m trapped in one second of timeline for God knows how long. I’ve been clean for 19 days and I honestly miss it but I am terrified of touching it again so I threw everything out, including my pipe and lighter, I want to be better but I feel like I’m going crazy without it. 99.9% of the things I say now are just for the fuck of it/make no sense because I don’t know how to keep a conversation anymore. I’m embarrassed and I want to do it again so bad. Now paranoia has become my life. I dream about smoking again, I can see it and taste it when I have sleep paralysis. I don’t know what to do, it’s now affecting my relationship and I’m scared I’m going to lose the love of my life, I just have outbreaks when I wake up, during the day and night when I just cry and cry, I feel crazy. Sometimes I feel like I need to smash my head into the wall just to feel better. I’m very religious, I’ve been practicing my faith for a while now, I just need help, I want to get through this 🙏🏽
  • @piotrswies1

    Hey Layo did you struggle with cognitive impairment? It's my biggest challenge right now I just feel dumber and slow not sure whether if it's because of antipsychotics or psychosis .
  • @emmarubens
    Hi Layo, how long did your psychosis symptoms last after you were first hospitalized?
