On aggression/violence in psychosis...
Sitting here feeling kind of guilty because of the time I was WAS violent when I was psychotic and feeling like that plays into the big misconception about psychotic people being dangerous etc. I was just really scared man and thought I was defending myself.
Should I sit on this experience so people don’t take it and run with the whole ‘psychosis = violence’ or talk about it so other people where the same thing has happened don’t sit here feeling nauseous in case they’re ‘secretly dangerous’ and have massive anxiety about future episodes because they don’t know if they’ll end up hurting someone else?
