Once you go insane, can you ever get you sanity back?

Question

Once you start to hear voices, see things, get the same repetitive disjointed thoughts playing over and over in your head, and you find it IMPOSSIBLE to be around other people, or to leave your house, does that mean you'll never feel "normal" again???

Have I finally reached a point of no return???

What should I do, try to fight it, or just let it happen?

Answer 1

Listen, if you acknowledge that something is off then you aren't crazy. It's the ones who have no clue that have the problem. Schizophrenics have no idea they are crazy!

The "repetitive disjointed thoughts playing over and over in your head" is probably OCD. I have this same problem. Go see a doctor. It can be managed. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Answer 2

the point of no return is when you stop trying. you can come back i did, you will not be the same person but that is the one who lost it to begin with so a chnge is a good thing isn't it!! Oh fight like h**l cuz no one else can do it for you.

Answer 3

Don't let it happen. Go to a psychiatrist and get help. There are also prescription drugs that help with abnormalities such as yours. I kind of know what you're going through. You don't have to do this alone.

Answer 4

Worked in a hospital for years and we had a great psychiatric section, well respected with very very wonderful doctors and staff.

There are so called psychotic "episodes" but being episodic, it means that the person  regains his usual control over his psyche. He can be managed with medication.

Few people have to stay in the padded white room, and even then I have not seen anyone stay there for too long.

Nature and our ancestors has given us every genetic skill to survive in the planet.  

What you may be experiencing are hallucinatory episodes, and you may be heading to a "nervous breakdown" a nice term that lately I find is being called other pretty sounding misnomers.

Of course you will go back to "normal" again. You just need a little help from your mental health friends. Its nothing to be ashamed of.

Contact your regular doctor for a referral to the nearest mental health clinic in your area and book an appointment.

Answer 5

With time, medication, and willpower yes.  

Answer 6

only you can make that choice as you are making this choice to be here on this Q&A every thing is a choice, try to discover what is your incentive and work a step at a time to find the rewards and replace them with different things if that is what you really want?

Answer 7

there are cases when people have lots of will power to defeat such problems and get well. but they do need help, professional help and/or family support...

good luck and i hope you manage to get yourself out of this situation...

Answer 8

Your other question could have a lot to do with this. Taking that drug can make a mentally unballanced person even worse and taking too much can make a normal peron feel unballanced.

Answer 9

You don't sound that insane to me. Besides what do they say, " Home is where the heart is."
