Inside the Maze of Acute Psychosis "6 Months in Hell" by Kat Welch
6 Months in Hell is the penultimate poem from my book of the same name. It's an attempt to sum up my experience with acute psychosis in 2015.
This is a subject that I feel passionate about and I don't think it's talked about enough due to the stigma (specifically the non-schizophrenic type of psychosis). It can happen to absolutely anyone at any time and is probably more common than you would think. When it happened to me, I knew nothing whatsoever about psychosis and neither did my family. It was like a truck came out of nowhere and mowed me down. Yes, there were signs, but I just thought I was stressed and suffering with anxiety.
Then came the paranoia, hallucinations and delusions. At the time, it was all so very real and frightening. I suppose my motivation is to raise awareness of acute psychosis but also to let people know that you can recover from it. No, it's not easy and there is no quick fix. The experience changed me in so many ways (for the better) and it took a long time for me to say to others with any confidence that you can move on with your life. But you can.
