I don’t how to explain it, but at times I just feel mentally ill. I think this happens more around people than when I’m by myself. I guess I just feel unstable. Ever feel that way.
Yep… Not that often anymore, but sometimes. Today is one of those days, I barely slept so my senses are all jacked up, making me feel very sensitive to everything.
yes! especially when i compare myself to non mentally ill people

Whenever I miss sleep I feel the same way. Why don’t you take a nap?
Can’t… then I don’t sleep at night. It’s almost bedtime though, it’s alright

I always forget that you live in Portugal (your English is just too good). It’s 1:30 pm here. I’m assuming it’s 7:30 pm there.

Thank you It is, 7:30. I want to wait until 10pm though, there’s something I need to do.

All the time around other people. For me it is mostly because I am overwhelmed with different emotions and tactile hallucinations, and delusions, and I feel like I can hear everyone’s thoughts on top of the spirits I already deal with. It is unbearable.

You know I always doubt it - but they say that is also a delusion.

“Overwhelmed” is a perfect word. That’s exactly how I feel when I’m around others.
@mjgh06 really?
which part? I guess you got to know my history to know my why.
edited to add: I keep trying to understand sz and how I have it, but my logic gets in my way.
I meant I didn’t know not knowing you’re sick is a “delusion”

Yeah that happens to me all the time. Sometimes the meds run out and I start getting intrusive thoughts. They usually compel me to do sexual/violent things like sexually abuse my younger brothers or other children. Sometimes they tell me to expose myself to people or to engage in incestous activities. For example once they were telling me to preposition my father (im a male, heterosexual by the way). Or they’ll tell me that Im gay and should sexually pursue other men. The scary part is that I feel like doing what they say when they say it. Sorry if the post was off topic I just want to get some stuff of my chest. And now I have and I feel like it has released some of the tension.
I feel mentally ill when I’m around other people who are classified smi… It’s like I’m different then them I don’t fit in so I stand out and notice myself and how different sz is from other mental illnesses…

Yes. Usually when I’m trying to focus on something I really want to focus on (like a TV show or somebody talking) but i just can’t because of my thoughts that are too loud. Realization really dawns on me then.
