I have had different symptoms over the approximately 40 years of having schizophrenia. As I age I believe I am getting better. My psychotic symptoms have almost gone away. I can hold a conversation. I can sit peacefully. However the latest problem for a few years has been “worrying.” I keep anticipating that everything I think about will go wrong in the future. Some things have gone wrong in the past, and I fear they will go wrong again. This was serious for a while where I just felt very bad, but in the last few weeks I have blocked worrying from my thinking, to some extent.
Anyways, I now add worrying to my list of experiences.

I’m a bit of a worry person myself.
I just take supplements that calm me down.

I’ve often said I’d rather be a warrior than a worrier. I worry far too much

I’m always worried and anxious. It’s an exhausting way to live. Mindfulness techniques are supposed to help.

I take L-Theanine supplements and they completely take away all of my anxiety.

They almost sound like delusions. CBT: Practice three c’s: check, challenge, change. check (acknowledge) the thought. challenge (true?) the validity and change.
Over the course of a day, you will have many thoughts. Choose the good ones.
@gene That is good advice. I realized today that I still have to think about some things in the future but I must not get too worried about them. I will use the three c’s.
