Hi Guys, I'm wondering whether you can provide some insight into my problem at moment...

I'm in a downtime in my life and I have always suffered with psychotic delusions. I've found myself very isolated in the past couple of weeks and not spoken much to anyone.

I've lost confidence in myself at moment and feel like the personality I had and mind I had 2 weeks ago has gone because I haven't been using it since then. Do I have access to all the memories and thoughts I had back then or have I lost some?

Any insight would be very appreciated as I am very depressed about this at the moment, thanks.

Stress effects the hippocampus, shrinking it and thus it will make it harder to grasp words, follow sentences said and thought, and your attention will be terrible. This all happened to me when I went through a year of a psychosis. Afterwards, I got on meds and 3 or 6 months later it was restored with some hard work, and trial and error of meds.

I have been through my share of downtimes too. I am kind of a nautical nut and view life as a voyage where sometimes I have to ride out storms until the weather gets better.

I wouldn't shut down but keep trying to engage with people and the world as best I could.
