My eyes are only one of the many ways my friends and supporters can see my psychosis before I can. I've learned to trust them when they are brave and caring enough share what they see. Learning how to trust sure was hard for me. Trusting still isn't easy or natural for me, but the study continues.

"I'm not ill" = "denial". You're not happy, either. You don't just get happy after all you've been posting about the last few weeks. Your brain chemistry is probably all amok, not least from not sleeping, so... Call medical help and take it from one who knows, yes, your eyes can give away certain states of mind and/or physiological mayhem.

Yes, the body kind of develops it's own tell tale signs. triple hugs

Exercising releases chemicals that can lift your mood, increase your energy, and improve your sleep. Record your thoughts and feelings in a journal. Also please don’t overlook your spiritual needs: Pour out your heart to God in prayer…it can help calm you.

hugs, it makes sense that you will need to have the docs adjust your meds along the way xo

p.s. good friend!

Deer in the head lights comes to mind when I read this. Scared and out of control, glad you have someone to help recognize this when you're unable to see it in yourself. Lord knows it would make my life easier to have someone point it out to me before I go further down the rabbit hole.

The window to the soul.

It's good your friend can give you clues like this. I hope she was kind. Keep on keeping on. You'll get there. X

Um so do you suffer with psychosis?

I guess I feel better after a long low just before I relapse.

What do you believe when your ill and when your well? I hear some people relapse gradually so now's the time to contact mental health team, perhaps take anti psychotic

Get yourself checked over. My relapses are always so sudden one min I'm fine the next I'm unaware that I'm ill

If it's not that, and you were worried that v your friend was being unkind when she described your body language do you think she was using the word mental as a kind of telling off for being annoyed at something?

People always have others on the hop feeling crap about themselves because they sux, don't let her convince you you look crazy when she just judged you for being irritated and thought she'd punish you with something that could be interpreted as concern or mean making you focus on yourself rather than retaliating back at her

After all she could have just said I am worried your getting unwell...

Don't mean to be negative I just personally wouldn't be happy
