Anxiety and psychosis

[Punky143]

Curious if anyone else has severe anxiety with psychosis episodes? I've had this going on two years and it's hell.

Can you describe the psychosis episodes? I was having some really weird stuff happening but it all went away when I started taking Buspirone. No docs have ever used the word psychosis but I am very curious about the episodes I was having.

as an amateur etymologist, all the "psych" words confuse me. how can psych, psyche, psycho, psychic, psychosis, etc., etc., mean such radically different things while sharing the same word root? stigmatize much?

leaving that mystery be. . . the google ai generated definition of "psychosis" is, "Psychosis refers to a state where an individual experiences a loss of touch with reality." for my psycho nickel, anxiety IS a psychosis. i lose touch with reality when i am anxious.

just opining. . . don't accuse me of experting or artificially intelligizing.
