It's exhausting to always try and be one step ahead of the illness so that I can prevent it.  Perhaps I should let that one person and his recommendation of cognitive behavioural theray go; and just accept that this episodic illness will continue to come. And that I only have to recognize it when it does, and take the steps to deal with it at that time.

Psychosis is settling, and I'm back to flat affect.  Now I must continue monitoring to prevent future episodes.
