hi i never was diagnosed with psychosis its 4 years i have derealization and anxiety but as days ago i watched horror series of walking dead my mind totaly changed in so scared like i belive every other humans are fake and not real i have vivid nightmares and today as i woke up saw the wheel of my chair like someones foot in black shoes i wonder if i go psychotic im so scared so so scared i dont have psychologist. is psychosis like this?do i know if i have psychosis?
hey somebody anybody please talk to me
i have panic attacks everyday for years and no i dont
I wouldn’t go so far as saying its psychosis, could just be severe anxiety.
That in itself can cause psychosis in a sense.
See your GP. Ask them for an anti depressant. Give it a few weeks and if you still feel as if what you’re going through is psychosis, then definetly see a psychiatrist.
Ask about benzodiazepines as well, as they treat panic attacks.

can i be aware of my hallucinations that are not true?
It’s hard to distinguish reality from hallucinations. Many people believe their hallucinations to be true.
If you highly believe you are hallucinating, then you should go see a psychiatrist a.s.a.p.
Ive found its very important to be “self aware” of your mind playing tricks on you. If your seeing / hearing crap try to think what triggered it. Its a good thing to be aware that they are not real, some people dont have that insight.
Once you know its just in your head - it becomes easier to ignore them.
Try and get a decent benzo for the anxiety.
i cant see a psych rn cause my mom is not home, on a trip will be back in three days dont want to creap her out whn she is far in another country i force myself to wait till she back
Okay, sit tight and just try to relax.
Hey, it’s okay. Try to chill out, okay? Watch some TV (NOT The Walking Dead, lol), wait until your mom gets home. How old are you, @ayrin7? You don’t have to find a diagnosis right now, okay? Just focus on keeping yourself calm. What sort of TV do you like?
25 i used to brows instagram videos but since im scared that nobody and nothing is real humans creap me out i cant watch
Well, you seem to be retaining some insight. That’s good, it means that whatever you’ve got going on hasn’t progressed too too much. For the moment, try and think, why does it matter if they’re real or not? They’re real to you, right? That’s good enough for now, yeah? I really think you should call your mom. Does she love you? She might be concerned, but in a good way. She’ll want to help, don’t you think? You don’t sound like you’re used to being on your own. Is that accurate? You say humans creep you out, yeah? Watch some Animal Planet, lol. Maybe it’ll be easier on your mind since they’re not human.
im home with my dad i cant talkbto him about this that im experiancing for some days
Why can’t you talk to your dad?
First thing, tell yourself that your going to be ok that what you are seeing is not real, I know it seems real. Believe me I know. I think that you are experiencing psychosis, if it continues go to the emergency room to get some relief, they will give you some meds. Your not alone keep talking don’t hold it in. Where here for you.
i immidietly found out that what i saw was not real because i was deep into sleep saw my chair wheels like shoes
how to tell him i think he is not real and nothing is real
Honestly, it’ll never be an easy thing to admit. The problem is that you need to admit it now, because if you wait, there’s no guarantee that you’ll have the capacity to admit it later. I’m not trying to frighten you, but you’re right to be concerned. Psychosis is serious business, and you’re already sounding a bit disorganized. Things can go downhill quickly. It’s important that you tell your dad right now so that you can get ahead of this. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you’ll lose insight. You need to tell him right away.
@ayrin7 How are you doing?
