Tips from ODSW February 2016: Sibling's Guide to Psychosis | Page 12

THE FEELINGS I MAY FACE
When Psychosis comes into the lives of siblings, like
yourself, you are likely to experience a range of
difficult emotions in response to your brother’s or
sister’s experience of Psychosis.
It's important to acknowledge these feelings and
share them with someone you trust.

Frustration
Frustration and hurtful feelings that are turned inwards
can lead to depression. Hence, it's important to release
our frustration in appropriate and healthy ways.

TIP!

Listen to calm music to release your frustrations!
Listening to music can be an excellent distraction
to help you release your anger.

Loss and Sorrow

Grieving is an essential part of our development
and is the way we let go of how things were or might
have been and move on in our lives.

TIP!

8

Share your feelings with others. Talking to someone
you trust is one form of allowing yourself to start
letting out some the sorrow you're experiencing.
