...See more , My name is John, I’m 25 years old, and I am reaching out because I’ve been struggling mentally and emotionally for a long time and would like to begin counselling support. About 2.5 years ago, I went through a painful breakup that left me feeling deeply abandoned. Since then, I’ve been experiencing depression, loss of focus, and isolation. I quit my job and have mostly stayed indoors for the last two years. During that time, I also experienced hallucinations and paranoia after accidentally smoking a small crushed portion of my father’s schizophrenia medication mixed with weed. This incident caused a severe reaction — it felt like an “explosion” in my mind — and soon after, I started hallucinating and feeling that I was in danger. I received 3 ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) sessions afterward and have had no hallucinations since then. I haven’t taken any medication since the ECT treatments. My father has schizophrenia, and I’m worried about whether this condition could affect me or be passed on to my future children. I also currently smoke weed regularly (every few hours), but I want to stop completely and heal naturally. Right now, I’m trying to complete my Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course. I’ve already passed the exam but struggle to focus and practice the tools because of depression and low motivation. I want to get better and rebuild my life — both mentally and professionally — without relying on medication if possible. I’m looking for: - Regular counselling or therapy (preferably online) - Guidance on managing schizophrenia risk and drug-induced psychosis recovery - Support to improve focus and emotional stability - Help building a positive daily structure Thank you for taking the time to read this. I truly want to recover and rebuild myself, and I’d appreciate your guidance and support. Warm regards
