Hey @darksith. What do you have problems with most delusions or voices?
Twice. second time was as bad as the first one just shorter time.
both…
but the voices…aliens…are pretty cool now.
i used to have demons shouting at me all the time…the last twenty years plus…it was getting boring.
i still see them…just no volume… 
delusions are a constant…no change there.
to me delusions are the worst…makes you tired…

When I get delusions I fall for them. Any advice???
i watched mad max the fury road last night…
when it ended i thought i was mad max for a few minutes…
but i have learnt to ground myself…
i had a very different childhood to most people…
so i learnt coping skills very early on…
i can live between realities without much effort…which is unusal for a sz…i don’t get lost too often in a delusion/psychosis.
right food …right environment…sleep…excercise…nature…grounds you.

i am only here on this planet still…because of mrs. sith…

Too many to count. I worry that someday I’ll never snap out of one that sucks me in too deep.

hmmm let’s see: 5 in all i think and a mini one, spread out over 12 years…nothing for the past nearly 5 years, save for a mini episode that lasted about 3 months but it was a poitive episode as oposed to a negative one if that makes sense and i didn’t really fall for it this time…call it experience if you will…i might not have neen able to control the images coming in to my mind but i could control whether i got carried away with them or not…i sort of did whilst retaining a healthy skeptisism at the same time…it was odd to say the least…guess i#m just too long in the tooth for all that crap now.
I’ve had 3 long hospitalizations… I’ve had about 4 more short ones… breaks that didn’t require more then a few days and a med adjustment.
I’ve had some breaks at home that my family was able to talk me down from or keep me safe as it kept going.
I used to have some sort of problem almost every day…
But now… I think my insight is better… if it’s not… I know I’ve gotten better at listening to my family when they say I’m slipping into a glitch. Catch it early… have a better chance of calming down… and sleeping and getting back on track early.

Many, hopefully no more, been feeling god dang good lately.
I’ve had one. Never hospitalised thankfully. I’ve been on these meds exactly 5 and a half years. However that’s just talking about psychosis. I’ve had mood issues all along on and off

I think when i was younger i hated meds. I was forced them and o would skip them whenever i could until caught. That might be what caused the psychosis. Been med free so far, it was complete hell for a while, ontop of that i was detoxing of heroin,0ìiiuui for the past 2 years been sober. It definately did not speed up recovery. Feeling good in my high probiotic diet and mindfulness techniques. Every day is a work in progress.
Would usually have hardcore delusions especially at work.delusions were hell and i had to remind myself that im going to get through today every day, i would say “you need the money dont worry about these delusions man you need the money”. Today i feel good, the storm has quieted.
