Lins88 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Has anyone else here been violent during psychosis? When i arrived in the ER i remember being scared and asking for female nurses as i thought the males would sexually abuse me. When i was in the ER i was apparently hitting and assualting the nurses and docs. I don't remember doing this at all and i dont know why i would be so violent. Needless to say i was strapped down for idk how long. I dont remember being restrained either. This is just what my mom told me as she was there with me. Anyone else become violent during psychosis? What happened and do you remember why you were violent? Edited February 21, 2017 by Lins88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes, absolutely. I haven't had a delusion that made me violent, but I've certainly had hallucinations and heightened senses that have. Command hallucinations are especially bad, because you can feel compelled to carry them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchme Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've only ever hurt myself when psychotic, but I suppose that's violence of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazed and confused Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I hurt myself when psychotic. Never anyone else, although when I'm psychotic I'm convinced that other people want to hurt me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansonfleek Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes. I've seen it happen. Usually Thorazine and/or Haldol does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I'm a big fan of Thorazine for that "knock you on your ass and initiate zombie mode" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes I've experienced this, once in an ambulance, to me I was tightening my belt i was in seat not layed down. But according to paramedic I was trying to escape, but I'm sure i could have managed to undo the lap belt...I really was just tugging at it tightly, tightening it around me for security I think, but I guess that could have been perceived as an attempt to escape the ambulance...I'd be disappointed in my self if that was ever an escape tactic lol Second time, I was stood against the window my shoulders resting against the glass, I was just tapping my head on the glass I remember just like nodding i was board and waiting for my mum, but apparently I was head butting the glass and need restraining. So so strange..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
