When you get your episodes of strange beliefs whether it’s at home or out in public, do u have any rituals or strategies to combat them and not lose touch with reality?
Take the pills. Eventually you learn some perspective.
Don’t blame yourself for stuff that may not happen. Life is complicated and guilt for a schizophrenic is too much to bare.
It’ll all come in if your on the right meds.
I try to rationalize. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
If its a delusion like i often get that downstairs have put microphones in there celiing. I try to remind myself - that im honestly not that important to be spied upon.
Me thinking that im an “angel for children” - is a harder one to crack,
I have to tell myself its simply because i missing my Daughter.
Google helps me dispel some delusions as well.
I try to rationalize my way out of them.
“Why would anyone be after me? I haven’t done anything”
And stuff like that.
I also try to write them down as if I’m telling them to someone, that sometimes helps me see how ridiculous they are
Deep calm breathing, relaxing muscles and focusing on things I can see, hear, smell and touch.
Lately I have been having weird mini delusions/beliefs. Like I will think and believe “Hitler’s mustache tastes like ice cream” … they are random and sometimes amusing and come out of no where and I believe it as fact until a few seconds later when I think WTF!?
Its been happening more since I reduced my Latuda
I try to not let it upset me.
