When Your Partner Has Psychosis

This Valentine's Day, John and I are reflecting on the beginning of our relationship, which started with a BANG! Not long after we started dating, I went into a psychotic episode. Our whole first year was filled with hospitalization after hospitalization, fear, confusion, and a strain that we almost didn't overcome. Today I am almost 5 years free of psychosis (unbelievable!!!) and all the trials we went through were worth it. We now know how to navigate future episodes, in the event that they ever come back, and we know we can get through anything together. •••••••••• 🎙️ “Lost Patients” NPR Podcast 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/1avleoc... ❤️ MERCH ❤️ https://www.redbubble.com/people/Caro... 🧡 TIKTOK 🧡   / psychotic.in.seattle   💛 INSTAGRAM 💛   / psychotic.in.seattle   💚 FACEBOOK 💚 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 💙 BUSINESS EMAIL 💙 [email protected] •••••••••• 00:00 - Introduction 00:30 - His Introduction to Psychosis 01:42 - How it Started 04:16 - The Progression 07:22 - Mania 08:25 The Toll on our Relationship 11:27 - How We Managed 15:20 - Improvement 17:13 - Caregiving 18:26 - For Partners 19:05 - Getting to the Other Side 20:29 - Conclusion
