 What's going on here? Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi, my name is Lydia and I'm meant to help videos here on YouTube pretty much every day. Today I wanted to talk a little bit about how you can help someone who is going through psychosis. Don't let me drown This video was so highly requested and I cannot believe I haven't done it already. So today's video is a helpful one. I hope that's kind of the dungeon behind it. So someone who is psychotic is someone who is disconnected from reality and stop psychosis, delusions, delusions, how you can help someone. I think this is a really big important thing to say. Do not bite into their emotions. Don't play into it. Like if someone's psychotic, if someone is having delusions, don't bite into it. Please. That's the worst thing that you can do because it makes them believe that it's okay and that it's rational. They will spiral. That's just point-rank out that. And people have done this when they've tried to just go along with it. You know, no reveal or she'll be fine and it's made me 10 times worse. So I'm just like, ooh, I can go even further into this and you just carry on going. And you end up at a point where, how the fuck did I get here? It doesn't make sense. The best thing you can do to help someone with psychosis is encourage them to take medication and go to your doctor. Consider going inpatient. They are honestly some of the best things you can do for a person who is like that. I know for me going into hospital helps a lot, especially when I reach really, really depressed states. I want to be really manic state. I tend to get hospitalized around them points. Another thing you should avoid doing to help someone is pretending you're a doctor. You are not a doctor. You are not qualified to see that they're actual doctor. Don't go online. Don't do research. This video is not a medical resource. Don't speak to someone who's trained in it, whether it costs money or not. Life is more important because someone who is psychotic, someone who is manic, someone who has experienced some hallucinations and delusions is just as much at risk of suicide as someone who's depressed. Even more so because some people can think they're invincible and they can do anything and then therefore jump off a building. They're actually very high risk to themselves and that is why they usually hospitalize it. Never assume things either because anyone who experiences it is different. Even with anxiety, people always say how can you have anxiety if you do YouTube? Answer, I talk to a camera. Isn't another person? It's a camera. Yes, people watch the video but I don't care about that. Making videos does not trigger my anxiety. Real life humans trigger my anxiety, hence why I'm on so much medication. Talking about medication, again, if someone has experienced a psychosis the best thing for them usually is medication. I need to rule anti-medication people out there. I'm not one of them. I mean medication is a lifesaver. It keeps me stable and allows me to be stable enough to work on myself. I take antipsychotics, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication as well as sleeping tablets. I have a fair share. It's a pretty crazy collection but it's a combination that works for me. I'm actually seeing my local my GP tomorrow and see if I can go on to deeper the antipsychotic just because I keep throwing up when I have tablets and have like three less. That's something I'd recommend, especially to people who experience psychosis regularly. Don't be afraid of asking to go on to a depot. I'm going to make this course more important. I'm probably going to record the journey and post it because it's a big step. It's me saying that this medication works for me and it helps me. I want to continue taking it even though it makes me ill so I'm going around it and making it easier. I know it works for me. It should be on depot injection for closapien, which is a very strong antipsychotic. I'm not on that anymore. I've been on how to parallel. A very strong antipsychotic. I can't function properly on it. It doesn't work for me. Quasi-pien does work for me. Alansapien makes me ill. I don't have the best doctor medication but antipsychotics are, they are like that medication has helped me so much. Anyway, I'm going to end this video here.
