Environments, food and psychosis

Hi @rebeccagiraffe 

for me, the answer is yes for environments.

its a long time since I spend any time in my childhood home.  Visiting people in house next door to my childhood home at times triggers memories.  I always feel anxious and on edge when I’m very close to my childhood home

Way it’s been described to me is our bodies don’t forget and act as a type of warning system.  Our nervous system goes into caution mode, alerting us to check if we are safe

Hey @rebeccagiraffe,

Thanks for reaching out to the community to get the support you deserve.

You are not alone in finding that it can be difficult to feel relax if the environment is stressful or demanding as this is part of how the nervous system works in our body. We can also hear your worry around having another psychotic episode which sounds like you are having a really tough moment.

If you would like to get some further support, we encourage you to reach out to Beyond Blue where you can unpack your feelings and explore ways to manage the situation.
