I feel like alhtough I am free of psychosis, I am in a constant state of anxiety which I cannot seem to get rid off… therapy hasn’t helped… i think she gave up on me.

Yeah, I am completely free of psychosis. I haven’t been psychotic since 2018, then before that I think it was 2012.
If your anxiety is crippling then maybe you need to talk to your doctor and find a medication for it. If it is mild then maybe an over the counter anxiolytic like l-theanine or CalmAid, I’ve found both very helpful with mild anxiety.

I haven’t been psychotic since the beginning of 2020, except for when I was transitioning from Geodon to CapIyta – then I had some breakthrough issues.
I, too, get really bad anxiety. I take Pristiq for it, which mostly helps, and when it gets really bad I have my PRN diazepam.
My anxiety seems to trigger some dark voices in me.
Therapy does work for me, but it’s taken me YEARS to find another good therapist after my last one passed away in 2014. Maybe you just haven’t found the right therapist? It’s like dating. You have to try out a bunch to find one you connect with.

I’m free of psychosis (for me it was mainly delusions) but I still feel anxiety and a little paranoid now and then.

What are you paranoid about?

I’m not sure. I just kind of feel unsafe in the night sometimes. Like just the other night. Idk how to explain it well in words. But it brings back memories of psychosis since I rarely felt safe towards second half of episodes.

I’ve been the same. I’ve been getting paranoid on and off at work. For the most part things have been good

Residual positive symptoms and the usual negative symptoms. Using CBT to cope with former, just trying to muscle through the latter.

No I’m not. I still hear voices and I suffer from lethargy.
