Diagnosed pyschosis
I was diagnosed with psychosis in November 2023 since then I wasn’t myself anymore it just feels like I have no filter anymore I used to have a very big filter I didn’t told anyone anything but since 2 years almost I just can’t keep my mouth shut and after I think why did I say that I also can’t control my anger it just getting worser and worse I forget things fast I feel like I’m in my own world where I can see things and think things that other people don’t think. I know I have it but I don’t know the cure and I also have been diagnosed with borderline which is making everything even harder for me. My moods are changing fast sometimes I just wanna break everything or I start to cry very loud I feel locked in my own mind. I can’t consecrate I got no job nothing I feel very tired all the time. I have problems with sleeping my old memories just keep coming up. Is there anyone who can help me with this or advice me pls?:(

Hello. I'm really sorry you're going through this. It sounds incredibly tough, and it must be exhausting on a daily basis. I believe you deserve proper support by a professional.
Do I get the things right by thinking that you have been cared of by a psychiatrist, including any required medication?
One thing is little unclear to me: How often your mood swings happen? Is it a matter of days, or hours? Because you mentioned you were diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, though your description also reminds me bipolar disorder.
I am sorry, but - especially when considering the double diagnosis - any other help than of a well-prepared professional could do more harm than good in these circumstances.
However, I believe when you are feeling overwhelmed some mindfulness and anchoring exercises might help.
For example, if you are preparing a meal, or working in the garden, you may try to concentrate on things around you, like sights, sounds, scents, touches or smells. Being in contact with nature might also reduce the tensions you are going through, here I mean things like: going for a walk, breathing, some mild stretching exercises. Do you think some journaling (writing a diary) could be of any help, too?
I know the situation, like feeling locked inside your head with no way out in sight, may seem hopeless, but with proper therapeutic means and medication there is a way out. I keep my fingers crossed for you to make it 👍
