I Had a Psychosis

Recovery

hi

Having been diagnosed as having cannabis induced psychosis over 10 years ago I  have just suffered another attack.  This time I have been diagnosed with brief psychotic reaction to stress.  I really want to avoid suffering another attack.  I have been told I don't have schzioprenia and it is highly unlikely that I have bi-polar.  Are there any support groups out there for people who have had similar experiences?

    Hi I've also had a psychotic attack, I was hospitalized for over a week. I have the diagnosis of a single psychotic attack, but I'm afraid and wondering if it will occur again. I've never smoked cannabis though. I've searching for information online, but they mainly talk about schizophrenia, which I don't have.
