So well, for once I made a favor to a friend. I colored her hair at my house. But gosh, I was feeling hellishly my brain in my head. It feels like I float in my head and its very painful. I even speak, without the impression of having thoughts in my head. I don’t believe any of my thoughts… I say rational things according to all the others, but I don’t ‘‘feel’’ my thoughts in fact. Cause I have a loot this feeling of feeling my brain in my head. I guess you cant understand how I feel exactly, but its quite physical. I also feel me eyes a lot like they are full of paranoia and terror. I focus very much on these sensations despite that its not my will.
But will this stop with the help of the meds one day? should I give them more time? Or they don’t work on our physical sensations? I wonder if I can call mines ‘‘body hallucinations’’?..
but yes, I am terribly afraid for my future. I want to enjoy the life outside one day 
…
I hope our symptoms will stop. You seem to be fed up. Me too. It’s hard to take. I hope you can have some peace soon.
I was just wondering if the body sensations are typical for schizophrenia?.. I didn’t meet someone who was somatizing strongly like this. I’ll try to be patient, thanks for the message. Do you have body sensations too, circle? my isolation made the things worse now. But it wasn’t my fault either.
Yes I get body sensations, I think because of anxiety. If you mean what I think you mean, that is. Like feeling something happening in your body that is magnified, like your heartbeat or your breathing or your swallowing? But I really just meant our symptoms in general, hopefully they get better.
yeap… I am not sure if its anxiety or paranoia… But in those moments, I feel of what the others can think of me or I also feel like am going reaallyy mad… So I end up by feeling my brain in my head. Circle, is it also soo hard to recover on our self confidence? To stop feeling paranoia I mean? And regain in thinking? Cause I am definitely dumb when I feel my brain in my head like this…
So all this stops me from thinking. Who else had problems thinking too? I hope i’ll get better on the thoughts. I still don’t trust anything that I thought. Or sometimes, I just have blanks instead of ideas in my head. Its strange…
Meds help. It stops. All the time I felt like things and people were touching me. I’ve felt myself being tied up, rats crawling all over me and biting me, and someone hurting me. All the time I felt like wires were coming out of my brain. I felt like you do, that I could feel my brain. They weren’t normal headaches, but they were painful. I also felt like I could feel the blood rushing around the my brain. It lasted for around 2 years. The meds make it stop.
They are two different symptoms, the sensations in your brain and the lack of thought. When blanks are there instead of ideas is a lack of thought. I still have that with the meds, but it is less.
Oh, thank you for the message @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter. It gives me hope. So you say I should remain patient with the meds? Its them who helped you? Or you made efforts?
Yeap, those are two different symptoms. The sensations in my head and body and the lack of ideas, I know, I know… 
Maybe I am still not calm enough in my head, so my thinking is lacking. When I am anxious or paranoid, I feel it in my head mostly. It feels like I’ll go mad totally by anxiety. I don’t switch meds since 3 years now, but maybe it’ll take time to calm down my head. First the calm, and then the ideas, is that right? sometimes I feel as retarded tbh with all this. But I got over it, now I know its my illness. But I lack so much ideas, that I even don’t know which guy I like or not, its strange…
Take care louise and lots of health!
I have a bad voice, named as you: Louisa.

The right meds helped me with body sensations. I don’t know if you want to change meds, but I know it was meds and not effort that helped them for me.
I can relate to being empty minded. Sometimes my mind is flooded. Sometimes I can not carry a single thought. I often forget the order to do simple tasks, such as laundry. Cooking a meal is very difficult for me. Decisions are very hard, too. I become overwhelmed in the grocery store or running errands, and I can not think.
I do try and make an effort though. I still do those things. I put in place as much help as I can. I write lists and stick to them. I write to-do lists for the day with achievable, attainable goals. I try not to schedule too much or overplan. I write lists for running errands. If I become really overwhelmed and can’t think, I try and take a nap. Often I’m clearer when I wake up. Some days I can do nothing at all, not even think enough to write on this forum. On those days I just rest, and I plan to work hard the next day I can.
I’m sorry this is happening to you.
My symptoms have not stopped for a quarter century. They’ve become reduced in potency, but I still deal with them on a daily basis. The good news is that I’ve gotten better at that over time and can now lead a mostly normal life. (Or at least appear as normal as I need to.)
