I hate my catastrophic thinking.
I am terrified of WWIII. I’m terrified I will be out of meds. And you will be out of meds. Because of transportation problems. And we all go psychotic and this forum vanishes because we’re all too paranoid to participate. I will lose my life I have build up if I go psychotic again. I am afraid to write this. So many fears. I hate being afraid.
I have these fears, too. I deal with them by basically refusing to pay attention to them. I remind myself there is nothing I can do to change whether or not this happens. All I can do is be grateful for the time I have, while I have it.
I am sorry that you are so scared. I know how real it can seem. I wish I could say something to calm you down. The best I can do is remind you that your brain is working against you on this one.
I am paranoid every day that I am going to be humiliated, persecuted, tortured and sacrificed to death in front of the entire world. I sort of manage it, for the most part, but sometimes it is really overwhelming and I am very, very afraid.
I know how real the fear can be. Hang in there. Hopefully, you will feel better soon.
i have to do the same as @Ninjastar most of the crap your being fed through the various media outlets seemed to be designed to stir fear but often are based in falsehoods… i would recommend skipping the news and making use of the search function on youtube to filter out any breaking news garbage…
I fear many of the same things - WWIII, global warming, getting stuck on the street and not being able to get back, getting stuck in another bad situation, fear of being put back on Haldol again. Some fear is healthy fear. If you do something about your fears they can be healthy. If you let them deprive you of the enjoyment of life then maybe you should work on lessening your fears.
Thank you all. Sounds stupid, but it is nice to not be alone with all this fear.
Second day in a row I need Oxazepam to calm down enogh to sleep.
I see my pdoc next week. Need to remember to bring up my fears.
I seldom watch news. But headlines flash by on facebook and other places.
I’m starting to think that all of my Fears stem from the fact that I suffer with a Psychotic disorder and it has very little to do with my Anxiety.
I am constantly Paranoid and Fearful!
It really is difficult to function this way on a daily basis.
It could be. Psychosis create fears.
I worry about WWIII a lot, especially with Trump in the white house. The only thing that calms my fears is that there seem to be secret organizations watching over earth which would like to new world order the planet. I hope that the worst case scenario is we will end up in a one world government, instead of blown to smithereens. I guess how bad that would end up being depends on how they would treat everyone.
