I feel terrible

I feel terrible today.
I’m nauseous, dizzy, my head hurts, my stomach hurts, and my voices are loud.
All I’ve had to eat today was half a bag of chips, but it’s like whatever I eat lingers in my tastebuds for hours afterwards, making me feel full and (and/or the voices) want to throw up.

I’ve taken one seroquel today, slept right through the effect, so I think I’mma take another one just in case

My home guide is coming by tomorrow, so I figure I’ll tell her then, just to tell someone, but the wait time feels long.
I just feel like I’m suddenly falling apart, and I don’t like it.
I’m scared :cry:

tell me what you think is going on, sometimes when I’m sick my symptoms are a lot worse

Do you have extra seroquel to take PRN? If not, you shouldn’t take extra and mess with your dose.

Did anything happen in your life to cause this extra stress response?

6

Yes, I’m allowed to take up to 6 (2 at once max) daily PRN.
They’re 25mg each.

I don’t know, I started school three weeks ago, and I have to be honest, it’s been giving me some stress, yes

School can be very stressful. How many classes are you taking?

8

Four different kinds, but the schoolday starts at 8:15 and ends at 2:45, so I leave at 7:30 and I’m home around 3:30. Long days :confused:

That sounds hard. It makes sense that you would be feeling extra symptomatic right now. Does it help you to write down what you’re experiencing, so you can share it with your home guide?

It maybe would, but I’m not sure. I’m willing to give it a try though

Writing things down helps me. It makes the experience less terrifying.

Tomorrow, they’re going to decide whether or not I’m staying or going home
