I agree with Jenna. I've never heard voices in my life or had any beliefs others would consider psychotic- like believing I was getting messages through the TV or that the government was poisoning me. Those types of thoughts are considered to be delusions which forms part of psychosis.

From your R/V it does seem like you may be quite unwell right now, and a common thing in psychosis is to not believe that you are unwell, rather that it's all real.

I would encourage you to talk to your team and ask them why you have been given the diagnosis, and how you can access some support.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
