Confused and Irritated

So my episode has gone down a bit, and all my fear and obsession is just receding into high sensitivity to everything. Everything seems to upset me and set me off right now. I get furiously angry over the tiniest things, like someone walking in front of me and cutting me off or just at people for crowding the bus stop. I hate feeling so irritable.

Also the demons have been attacking me again and it hurts. But then their attacks get interrupted by this warm presence or feeling. It’s kind of like I’m doped up on cold medicine or something, but I’m not. If it is a presence then it’s not one that’s familiar to me, so I’m kind of wary about it. I wasn’t delusional except last night I had this INCREDIBLY vivid dream that fed my delusion and now I’m confused again, and then I kept seeing all these songs that also fed my delusion and ugh. I love how I can recognize that it’s a delusion but still can’t fully feel like it isn’t true. So weird.

I’m so jacked up right now I can’t focus on anything. I’m just so frustrated for a million particular reasons and no reason at the same time. I’ve just been listening to music and watching everything disappear in lights. The lights just hide everything and make everything blend together. It’s kind of difficult to explain.

I’m sorry if any of this is incoherent I’m sort of just rambling. Maybe I’m not coming down from my episode at all. Ugh. Wish the therapy appt I made was sooner than next month. Oh well. Until then, does anyone have any good coping mechanisms they’d like to share for any of this stuff?

so sorry ur going through it right now hunni. all i can offer is a shoulder to cry on i’m afraid. if u need to vent then go ahead. there’ll always b support here. hope u feel better soon hunni xxx

Hi Anna~
My son is irritable in the same way–all the time.
Does that mean he is having delusions or distractions going on in his head? I am not trying to detract from what you are going through

Hope things calm down quick for you~~

Grab the largest phone book you can find and tear it to shreds. Put all your anger into dissolving it into tiny bits of unrecognizable paper, don’t hold anything back, including the volume of your voice, make it what you hate about everything in life. Then,
by the time it has been destroyed, ahhhh…your eyes will see differently, life looks fresher, the world more do-able once again.

I actually participated in a therapeutic setting that involved beating a phone book to a pulp with a rubber hose. It was rather successful, if a little unconventional.

Destroying some inanimate object in a controlled setting has worked for me many times. Most people have no idea how hard it is to tear a phone book apart.
