I’m seeing someone sitting next to me in a brown jacket. And every time I look toward him he’s gone but he keeps coming back when I look away I’m scared to move.

I’m just sitting in the hotel lobby really wishing I was in the bedroom so I could fall asleep but I have to get up. And in front of people. Oh god

But a part of you seems to know he isn’t there. That is awesome. That is an encouraging sign. You can get through this.

Is there someone you can call to help you through this? Like a considerate friend or even a doctor. Don’t feel embarrassed if you need to reach out to someone. Always play it safe.

I am sorry you are having a rough time on your Mother’s Day trip…do you mean you have to speak in front of people or just the people in the lobby are bothering you?

Travel always makes my symptoms flare up, too. What coping skills do you usually use? Try them. Maybe start with a simple breathing exercise. Or count all the green things in the lobby. Focus your attention on things that aren’t the man in the brown jacket.

I reached out to you guys. Kind of awkward story how I got out of the lobby to my room but I’m happy to be in my room now safely next to the husband. I’m pretty sure I’m just in an episode. 
Have a goodnight everyone. Thank you!!

I’m fairly certain I was behaving very strange. And I’m front of people no less. Super uncomfortable. And embarrassing.

Thank you. I really do think travelling is stressful. I can’t remember a single getaway that didn’t throw me into a weird mood or have increased positive symptoms. It’s a shame. I was really trying to enjoy myself this time. I’m in bed now though and it’s cozy. I probably won’t sleep but I’ll be cozy

I’m glad you’re cozy. I’m also in a not sleeping but cozy mood. I’m thinking about taking some NyQuil.

Even though it may feel natural, do not feel ashamed. You have nothing to feel ashamed for. Anyone who judged you for any behavior you may have expressed should be the one to feel guilty. You are a wonderful person who happens to have an illness.
