I don’t know what to do it seems like every thought I have is back handed into a command, and if that doesn’t make it worse I can’t even f****ing think or even stop hearing voices its so annoying… I’m in the corner smashing my damn head in frustration I just want a way out… Take it however you want to I just want peace wetherr that be never waking up. I can’t even close my eyes with these vivid images. Damn intrusive thoughts, UGH. DAMNIT You know hwat forget it man Idk what to do, im tired sick and havent showered counting today 4 days. I can’t think I can’t function I just quit a damn job because I can’t handle the stress, im such a damn loser a wimp weakling who whines about everything *************************************************************** AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 
Godddddd why who knows and don’t care if you reply or leave a comment I literally have no one to vent this too so its up to you. pease dudes.
Some things I do to calm down are:
Put an ice pack on the back of your head. This will cool down your brain and reduce activity in your limbic system, where emotions happen.
Do a task with simple, clear steps. I like baking. I follow the recipe, and it’s easy enough that I don’t get frustrated, but it requires enough concentration that I don’t have room to think about other things. Cleaning also helps.
Engage your five senses. This will remind you what is real and what isn’t. Listen to soothing music. Smell something pleasant, like an essential oil. Suck on a hard candy. Look at pictures of things you enjoy. Feel something with an interesting texture, like a piece of Velcro or a stress ball.
Try to levitate something with your mind. You obviously won’t succeed, but it gets you to focus all of your attention on a single point outside your body, instead of on your thoughts. I like to use this on airplanes or in public places, because it doesn’t require you to move at all. It looks like you’re just daydreaming to observers.
I feel the same as you. I am also about to quit a job due to stress. 
Life has up and downs.
it might be going down right now but I promise it will get better.
Voices can be overwhelming I normally listen to music to drown them out
Do you have anything that helps with them?
You’re not a loser @anon97970229. It’s better you quit a job that’s stressing you out than having the stress make you sick.
Can you take your dog for a short walk? Or maybe listen to some relaxing music?
Did you ever try playing nice guy to the voices? Fighting them doesn’t seem to be working. I just thought you might smother them with love. They might be shocked.
@Ninjastar I’m doing this I have a ice block being my head, I just got back at thr store people wer e starinf at me because I kept arguing to myself.
Right now I think tommorow I will go to this community center for the mentally ill, hopefully it gets my head off of things. They also have classes and groups.
I have a stress balll and ill use that and a soothing rock thank you for remidning me it seemed like i couldnt even fit a thought in.
Thank you so much!
@Joker I hope it gets better for you! I think I will lay off work for a while.
@Noise Yeah thats a good way to see it, its been a rough 3 weeks. I usually recite words in hopes it helps it doesnt but ig i dont the voices get worse, but I remember I have a stress ball and music so I will try that
@Moonbeam I feel like I’m maybe it;s because im in a bad mental place, Im listening to some music right now before I sleep I will put some head phones in and watch some funny videos on.
@PinCushion I have and they took advantage of my kindness and started bossin me arounf mmore but now Im giving them the silent treatment, I took some benadryl and vitamins like melatonin!
Thank you all love you guys!
You are not loser man. You are just struggle with toughest disease that human being experience it. Be strong. Surviving its the biggest achievement in this disease.
I get so anxious I feel like crawling out of my skin. I take a benadryl and try to find something to take my mind off me. This forum has been a great help so I think it’s cool you can vent here.
the Anxiety is very tough to deal with
I also feel crawling out of skin
I have anxiety with me all the time
@anon68444330 thanks man, i really appreciate it I feel heard out. Sometimes I just feel like a wimp LOL tbh. But thank you!
@Gin1 I take benadryl too! It helps a whole bunch, especially with sleep. I think it is cool too, I’m glad I got this forum.
@shellys12 yeah the anxiety is dreadful. I hope you start feelin better because schizophrenia is really tough!
Hugs, friend. When I’m in panic mode, I can’t remember what to do, either. I come on here and someone will usually remind me of some coping skills.
Do you have a PRN for anxiety/panic attacks?
@Ninjastar thank you! Hugs back to you!
I have gabapentin and haldol but thats about it. It sort of helps most of the help is from coping skills.
I’m glad the coping skills are helping. I think they’re more effective long term than PRNs anyways.
I have had to quit jobs many times for mental health reasons. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. You’ll get to a place where you can work eventually. And even if you don’t, that’s not the measure of your value as a person. You’re valuable BECAUSE you’re a person. That’s why we are called human beings, not human doings. That’s what my therapist told me, anyways.
Yeah, I enjoy doing coping skills. I agree they are.
@Ninjastar that is true I just hope one day I become stable enough for a job. But my parents advise me not to.
