Re: I feel like i’ve lost my partner to 1st episode psychosis. Will he ever be the same again?
@UprightRabbit Thanks so much for that! I actually just got a mental health care plan yesterday after 2 months of grasping on strings trying to find the right support. Im getting counselling mandated by child protection but i filter too many feelings coz i dont want the very sly department to misuse the info against us. I already feel theyre doing more harm than good and their methods tipped me over the edge too many times. I tried the beyond blue chat but the lady didnt even listen to me she just sort of cut me off mid chat saying feel free to contact them again if i need help
Its so hard going through all this just intime with covid, cant even unwind outside for a coffee and people watch.
Im living off this forum, just being able to relate to people who have gone through the same is a good form of therapy. You should start charging me
How are you going with therapy?
the one i booked with isnt until the 14th of september

@Gwynn yes its one of the very few good things that has happened in a while. I guess this is just very alien territory for both of us and we're trying our best, i just need to keep reminding myself to separate him from the effects of his meds. Now im losing myself in navigating the carer support sites.
Thank you for your advice! Helps so much when someone else speaks from experience and not just theory.
What about you?how are you going? Are you also locked down with covid? 🙂

Hi @Jzkm
Sooo glad you've got your own mental health plan. You need it, you deserve it, I hope your psych is the best.
Mine actually told me to leave. They're not supposed to do that but he clearly felt quite strongly about it.
You gotta build up some personal reserves of psychological strength and remember who you were before you got caught up in some one else's orbit.
Stay strong,
Rabbit.

Re: I feel like i’ve lost my partner to 1st episode psychosis. Will he ever be the same again?
yeah i had my first session with her and looking forward to the next. Shes quite fully booked i wish i went with a more available one.
About your psych... wow! I read your post about leaving & good on you! I can imagine it would have taken all the strength and you would have been through so much to make that decision.
as for me, im scared im just throwing my life away here but also really want to try to make it work for our baby.
its hard to deal with sometimes especially when you think theyre doing better theyre on meds and then they sort of tilt sideways behaviour-wise again. The romance and little efforts he used to make, are gone, so i really find no joy in the relationship anymore. I feel guilty even just typing this.
How are you feeling these days? Do you still look back or are you relieved?
p.s. this forum has been my sort of form of therapy now so thanks for always replying
