Hi, My name is Daniel and I was just wondering something about 4 years ago I went thru a Drug induced psychosis from what the doctors say but it's very confusing because it started right after I turn 20. Now they say it was meth induced but what I'm fearing is that when I was going thru it I was in jail. The worst place to be and finally got the help I needed but did not take it very seriously because as I came back to reality I started useing drugs again. now I was able to use drugs without really any problems for about 9 month's and then the symptoms started coming back. I gave up the drugs because I did not want to go thru that again. but at the time I did'nt know that drugs where what was causing it. Well stopped useing and most of the symptoms went away like the fear and other things but I still had auditory voices which where only whispers really. No commanding voices. Well everytime after that I would pick up marijuana and smoke it would throw me into a psychosis that lasted maybe an hour. And then I was diagnosed with OCD which cause really bad anxiety. And one day I smoked weed and it thru me into the worst most scariest psychosis and I really don't like talking about it because my OCD has attached itself to this theme and it causes spikes in my anxiety when I talk about it. Well I guess what my question is do you think that I've screwed my mind up beyond repair I heard that the more times you have psychotic episodes the more harder it is to treat. And I guess I'm obsessing about it right now but it is a ligit concerne. Any advice I would be glad to haer....
