Psychosis Therapy (Page 2 of 2)

Ya know what? Someone mentioned that the fact that I remember having the psychotic episodes was probably the key to what I was doing, and since most psychotics don't remember the episodes, it wouldn't work.

I have a few thoughts. As I stated, alcohol is proven to slow down a psychotic episode, so I use it to help me stabilize them.

What if the psychotic were drunk enough so that he did remember the psychotic episodes? If I'm the first psychotic to remember them, then not much information is known from the POV of the person having the episode.

Slow the episode down for them, so they can do what I did.

Dextromethorphan, commonly found in cough syrup, was the first stabilizer I used. It was next to impossible for me to go psychotic on that. I swear before God and everything holy, I think it could be used to treat a psychotic, but that's probably for a different board. 

I'm in a psychotic state at this moment, in case you can't tell. Four years ago, I would have been screaming obscenities at the top of my lungs.  Please note, I'm typing pretty coherently.

The answer is not in stopping the episodes, the answer is in learning to deal with them.

I think I found the cure for psychosis. Does anyone want to research this with me?

Just an update, I wanted to go into a bit more detail about how it was. I really hope this could help another psychotic. I can legitimately say that I felt a little bit better each and every time I did the therapy, after I figured it all out. Imagine a 100 foot spring, compressed inside a 1 foot box. It's under a great deal of pressure. If you cut a link off of the spring, it relieves some of the pressure. Every single time I did the therapy, it cut a link off of the spring. What was, 4 years ago, a 100 spring is now about a 10 foot spring. It's a lot easier to deal with. I think the mantra is the most important part to this, especially in the beginning. You need to have the right mantra for the person. Assuming that, underneath it all, the psychotic is also suffering from the "Bad Memories" as I called them, you need to have the right way to stop it.

Another way to stop a psychotic episode I found was a song. Nikkfurie De la Caution, The A la Menthe. (The spelling is probably butchered there) It's a French techno song. The repeating beat, it just repeats the same beat over and over. It gets inside your head, and kind of cancels everything else out. I called it a "Universal Bad Memory Killer" It would stop any psychotic episode. Wasn't much for therapy, but sometimes I didn't really care, ya know?

Speaking of musical therapy, that was actually how I stopped the first psychotic episode that I successfully stopped. I played the song T-U-R-T-L-E Power, from the TMNT soundtrack. I associate some very good memories with that song. A psychotic episode is a bad memory, seemed good memories would be the way to go to fight it. It worked.

Music therapy and mantras are the core of the therapy, really. The marijuana is to put you into the state you need to be in to utilize this. It was a painful beginning, but as I noticed I started to feel just "A little bit better" each time, I went for it. Getting high to cause a psychotic episode is a two-edged sword. So nice but so painful at the same time. It was worth it though.
