I love my own kind, especially those in adolescence who were targeted by the occult.
you have to teach yourself to not be fearfulā¦which can be hard.
if you are afraid of the darkā¦go for a walk in the dark.
it is possible to ā free ā yourself ā of fear.
brain trainingā¦e.g create a white room in your head, imagine yourself sitting in thereā¦now donāt let anything else into that roomā¦you control the white roomā¦you alone.
if it does not work try againā¦and againā¦when you have some free time.
then once successfulā¦go to the next stage of creating worlds wthin your mind which you controlā¦you can give yourself a super powerā¦e.g you can fly in this world ( thus you are knowingly empowering yourself.).
slowly but surely you gain power over your mind, and what goes on within it.
it does not rid you of everything you see or hearā¦but you gain the upper handā¦by losing the fear.
know someone cares
take care
I donāt know what you speak of, but to you.
How long did you deal with the voices/weird ideas/experiences until medicated?
Tell them what they want to hear so they donāt put you back in. Try to act as much like a normal person as possible. Iāve been full blown psychotic and suicidal several times and forced into the hospital but was able to quickly get out by telling them what they wanted to hear.
Off and on for two years
Some birds are meant to be caged
That would imply an intelligent designer designed the bird to be imprisoned. I donāt believe any human was designed to be schizo and institutionalized. But hey, maybe youāre of the left hand path and follow the occult. I am personally Christian, not Satanic, so I have to disagree, and I personally believe this beautiful young woman was meant to be free.
I was just kidding. It was just from a song I was listening to at the time. Iām not religious. I donāt like going to the hospital either.
To be honest, for your own safety, I think a hospital stay might be a good idea. It sucks, but itās probably true. If you were physically sick, you wouldnāt have an issue with it Iām guessing.
Do you take your medicine?
I would be upset too as anyone would. You may not be fully aware of your symptoms either but you sound to me you have insight, I donāt think people with as much insight as you should have to be in a hospital. But when I was ill I would have brief episodes out of nowhere. Maybe if you can have strength through this you will come out stronger for it. Iām sorry you are going through this. Could you get a public defender or human rights lawyer to defend you against being wrongfully committed and prove you are not a danger to yourself or others and take medication as prescribed?
I agree! You sound like you practiced visualization and good self empowerment. I enjoy doing this too and using my imagination.
Yes. Iām on several medications including two antipsychotics

Yes, my mom keeps my meds and gives them to me every day, right doses and right meds
Terrific. Has your case manager talked about psychotherapy to build up your coping skills, including thought identification and questioning, and emotional distress tolerance? (DBT is really great stuff for that, and you can do with workbooks on the way cheap, as well as in weekly classes. If interested, tell me where you live, and I will see if there are classes available in your area.)
