Any medication, remedies, someone to talk to, please help.
Medication prescribed by a psychiatrist tend to help.
As I told you in your other thread, it might be time to seek help.
I’m scared to seek help. I’m not sure how to talk about it to anyone, I’m not sure if what I think is real and everybody’s lying to me or I’m just tripping
I know it’s scary, but the best thing to do would be to try and open up. When I first opened up, I felt really silly, but after a while, it felt really good.
A suggestion would be to not say “people are transmitting their thoughts to me”, but instead “I feel like people are transmitting their thoughts to me”, y’know?
Yeah… Thank you for talking to me. It’s helping a lot.
I was also scared to seek help at first. But you have to do it anyways. It’s not really that scary once you get started. My therapist that I first went to was very kind. And eventually I got to like going to see her. She of course sent me to see a psychiatrist first thing. I had to hand over most of my information in written form because I was having trouble talking to him at first. But really I shouldn’t have been so scared. He is a nice guy and is trying to help. He got me on some meds right away and the panic attacks and seeing things went down in frequency.
Try seeking help out. It is not as bad as you think 
I hope so.
Any other advice? It’s probably gonna be a little awhile til I get medication…
I can’t talk to just anyone. Some of my family members get really mad or pissed
What do they say?
They don’t wanna talk about it. Literally if I asked one of them for help right now they would start yelling. Over the past couple weeks ive been going through this ive asked what they thought or if its real and they’ve given me very strange answers and then said im pushing there buttons because I won’t drop it.
I’m not sure if they think i’m joking but they’ve seen me drop weight and i told them i’ve been crying like it’s not a joke at all.
Even right now or most of the time i feel pretty shaky/scared
For help for now, I would try doing something monotonous like cleaning or coloring mandalas. Taking a walk helped me immensely and also writing in a journal. Do you have any hobbies that require monotonous work like crocheting or knitting? That could help too. I like art so I draw pictures often as well.
If a light burns too bright it will burn out fast. Slow down. Like I said. I know this very well.
If things seem strange all of a sudden. Ask yourself. Is there something wrong with the world, or your perceptions. I got “strange” answers, too. But I really had to ask myself who my family was.
They used to yell at me before they understood what it was. Be still, pace yourself and pay attention. But don’t look too far. You will be lost and scared in your own head.

I’m getting pretty depressed over this too, Like my life is over… Like i can’t even do anything… Slowly I’m getting better at living normally again but I like to clean and workout. I used to workout all the time but got depressed maybe and stopped.
I also recently had a friend pass away a couple months ago and thought I could hear him or a ghost talking to me when i was alone at work sometimes or just alone… may have started this idk
Since you are twenty, couldn’t you just make an appointment and go without telling them? If your in college, just don’t say where you are going and let them assume that you are going to the library to study or something. I hate saying that you should be deceptive with your family, but if they are not supporting you then they are giving you no choice…

Whenever I hear non stop voices, I immediately talk to my pdoc. He fixes me right up.
Last time I was hearing nonstop voices, I was given depot injections of Zyprexa and Ativan. That stuff works! If you take it over the long term though, it will make you gain a ton of weight so, I wouldn’t take it for maintenance.
For maintenance, I take Risperdal Consta injections, and Geodon and Seroquel pills.

I use music to help drown out the voices but also you can try challenging your voices too. Also there’s this technique called “radical acceptance” where basically you treat the voice like it’s just like your little brother trying to be annoying
So for example if the voice is telling you “you’re a bad person” basically you go “yeah whatever dude” and sometimes it can help with the impact it has on you.
I know you’re scared right now but it’s ok. Being sz is not a death sentence. You can improve and adapt. you’ll be ok.

Thank you, it means a lot…
Do you ever hear the voices randomly? Like you’ll be doing your own thing or hanging out with a friend & you can hear them talking to you… Mine discourage me every time I get up and start to live “normally” again.
I can’t think normally anymore…
