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.

Don't do drugs.

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.
