Hello this is my first post so sorry if it’s bad or something//
Have you ever had your delusions stress you out so much you want to scream??
That’s what’s happening to me and I hate it so ■■■■■■■ much…I am unable to do certain tasks because my delusions mess up my way of thinking and I just crash. I can’t even change my ■■■■■■■ profile picture without thinking something bad will happen…
Have your delusions ever stopped you from doing something? Can you control them? Is there meds for this? No- I don’t see a therapist anymore just a counselor at school. Help!
Get to a psychiatrist and get a medicine regimen that will assist you with the positive symptoms such as delusions. Delusions can make real ■■■■■■■■ of us and it is very difficult to go back and apologise to those we have done wrong in our delusional thoughts.
Yes, I understand what you mean. The “core” of my psychosis is always with me, but I am only on a tiny bit of meds (experiencing guilt for messing up my life and fear I will go to hell for that). It stresses me a lot, I live with constant fear and yes, I want to scream about that quite often. So I understand very well what you mean. All the little thoughts and delusions and ideas of reference go away with medication for me (f.e. hearing a song and thinking it is proof that I will go to hell, finding a book and thinking it’s been put there on purpose as an answer from God).
I used to be able to control them by myself. Using medication has made me more sensitive though. Starting meds does help a lot for the minor delusions, but upon withdrawal makes you more sensitive to psychosis.
i have waited way too long to get help. i just started. I let so much of my life slip by because i was unable to focus on anything but the fear something bad will happen if i do whatever it was ii wanted to do at the time. It was a mistake to wait so long. I am already feeling a little bit clearer after just a few days of taking meds.
I will go talk to someone about this!
