What were your biggest lessons learned in life and what would advice other to learn from your experience?

If you had a psychosis caused by stress just take the antipsychotic medication. There are some cases where antipsychotics are not necessary but this is only a small group. (like drugs induced psychosis but not schizophrenia, these people have to stop taking drugs). But not taking my antipsychotic medication wasted many years and caused a lot of pain.

Don't watch gore. It is self harm. And it can cause PTSD. Gladly, I am not traumatized but I could imagine I would be sensitive to it. Some videos haunted me.

Run away from your parents when they are abusive. Tbh practically this would not have worked. And as a child you are not in the position to reason with your parents about things like that.

Do research and take your own treatment seriously. No one will advocate for you.

I would agree in most cases with don't do drugs, but mushrooms and cannabis have helped me on my journey. If you are using them as a crutch, you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Absolutely look out for you first. I've heard it all my life and ignored it. It was the one I wish I didn't have to learn through experience.

Under no circumstances should you consider ECT as a treatment option. It did more damage than good. I promise you, you won't regret not doing it.
