Hi everyone,
I can’t even write. I don’t know what to say. I feel awful. I’m scared. Paranoid. And generally symptomatic .
I have to hold out together but it’s so hard.
Thanks for listening

Hi @Inezinez . Not sure how good of a friend I can be this morning, since I am planning to attempt to go to sleep again soon, but it sounds like maybe you are in the midst of symptoms of psychosis.
What you probably need is to contact a professional and tell them the symptoms you are having.
As far as what we can do here, I am happy to listen to you for a bit and comment if you want to elaborate, before I attempt to head off to bed again.

No I’m not in crisis unfortunately, otherwise i could go get someone, a pertussis to listen. I’m in close collaboration with my shrink and therapist but it’s Saturday night/ Sunday morning and no one is available. My doc feels like an acute non chemically unbalance related problem that i should work on in therapy. Yuck! Cuz i just want paranoia feelings to stop
Also thank you for offering your support

Yeah, I didnt even think about the fact that it is sunday.
My personal recent experience with paranoia, is that with me personally, it seems to uptick when my medication dosage is too low. Whether you call that a “symptom or psychosis”, a symptom of sz or an unrelated effect, I don’t know. But for me, paranoia seems to creep in when meds are too low. I have no idea if this is the case for you or not.
This is what I meant by professionals. Psychiatrist or Therapist. I wasn’t even thinking of emergency care, but like I said, the fact that its Sunday didn’t even cross my mind.
If you feel it’s urgent and cant wait until Monday, maybe you could contact an online doc to temporarily help? I did this when I needed Paxlovid for Covid when it occurred over the weekend. I am not sure of the same availability of psychiatrists/therapists when compared to regular doc, but I was able to quickly have a video conference with one related to Covid. Of course, this requires money, and I don’t know if this is a factor.
If non of this is useful, I am still happy to listen to your concerns for a bit.
There is also the possibility of Help and Crisis lines/texts which I can post links to if you want. These are all free.

Thank you so much for being here for me, my meds did finally kick in and I was able to fall asleep. I tend to feel better after rest but not always. I do feel better now!
