I am getting it often these days. I thought maybe it was a product of the beings trying to get out, but my mom says the beings aren’t real and I’m really trying to accept that. Maybe if I tell myself enough that the beings aren’t real, I’ll start to believe it.

You want them to be real. You are attached to them. I have the same problem

I do and it really triggers anxiety for me. I just need to go away from all the people and all the noise and reset to calm back down and get my head reset again. Sometimes when I’m out in public I feel that I will have a panic attack because it gets so bad. And at times I have had panic attacks. But we do get through it.

I get sensory overload a lot. Especially when i go out in public. All the sights and sounds, it can be too much for me. I don’t deal with it at home as much. When i feel overloaded i retreat into my room. That’s my quiet zone.

@Om_Sadasiva I don’t want them to be real really, I just think they are. Are you not sensitive to light and sound anymore?
@Leaf It sucks. It makes me feel like I’m about to panic too. And like you I have panicked over it before. Sometimes it also triggers derealization which really makes me think the beings are causing it.
@disciple It is frustrating because sometimes my mom won’t let me leave the living room, especially when I’m anxious. The closet is my safe space but my mom won’t let me sit in there.

When I feel depressed my whole body is in pain. My senses ache

I’m sorry, that’s awful. When I am depressed I feel tired, sad, more anxious, hopeless, more guilty, etc. I am in more mental pain than physical. The things happening in my mind make me depressed. I am depressed now I think.

Are your voices depressive? Mine are usually of neutral mood

What do you mean? If you mean what I think, which is the voices make me depressed, the answer is no, not always. They make me feel a wide range of emotions. Depression, anxiety, joy, excitement, comfort, calmness, guilt.

It’s your subconscious which opens up and dream-like creatures appear

They are both the stuff of good dreams and nightmares.

I’ve had overload and underload. I thought it was just sz, aspergers, or dp/dr. Could be a lot of things like migraines.

Right. Psychosis is like a dream (or nightmare) in waking state

That’s the best description of psychosis, sweet and simple. I have a hard time telling if I’m awake or asleep.

@insidemind I don’t think it’s migraines. I never get headaches.
@Leaf @Om_Sadasiva I feel like I live inside a fantasy novel, and I’m not convinced it isn’t real. I’m trying though to tell myself that I’m not special, that none of it’s real.

Now any moment you may lose your insight and get lost in psychosis. You must prevent it by talking to your pdoc.

keep fighting to tell yourself it’s not real. Even if you have to tell yourself all day. Sometimes I spend half my day talking to myself in my head trying to keep myself calmed down from stress. You got to do what you got to do. It’s not fair, but it’s reality. Keep fighting to stay in reality.

@Om_Sadasiva I will tell him the beings are worse but I won’t tell him what they’re saying. How about that?
@Leaf Sometimes I ask myself why I’m fighting the beings. I am thinking it would be better for me to die for nothing than to live and destroy the world. Because let me tell you I would not be willing to bet that I’m not the sacrifice.
Tell him they’re worse, OK.
I tell him almost all except for things that are embarrassing
