I need some advice and reassurance

I woke up with this huge amount of dread and fear that any second something bad will happen. I feel like the police are after me (for no reason) I feel like someone will kill me and expose me for the bad person I’m which I don’t know what I do to feel this way, : /, I just need some reassurance because it’s ruining my day… Thanks everyone!

You are okay. Don’t let it consume you. Try to distract yourself, breath deep and tell yourself it’s okay. Try to do something relaxing. I know the feeling, too. Hugs.

There you go! They came out with an expansion pack for hyrule warriors calamity Ganon. I’ve been playing that. Super fun. Although my 12 and 11 year old beat me in mariokart 8 and that just hurts deep inside. :pensive::pensive::pensive:

I still struggle with the feeling that Im a bad person and that people will come after me. The voices used to say so. Im sorry youre dealing with that its really tough

Try to rationalize it to yourself, like what have you done to be so bad that people will want to kill you? Usually I come up with nothing so maybe itll help you.

Hasnt helped me of late because I think Im a bad neighbor for smoking weed all day after work but hopefully youll have more luck

Sounds fun! @anon78876561 LOL, it’s okay, if it makes you feel any better my little nephew can wipe the floor with me in super smash bros lol!

@zwolfgang Yeah, i hear you man! Sometimes I wonder what the hell i did that is so bad that people will want to kill me or expose me… I’m sorry your voices are being that unbearable, do you have a prn you could take, what really helps is checking the facts with my delusion, it really helps! I’m trying it as we speak and it calms me down! Thank you! I hope you can calm down, maybe there is some way to combat those negative emotions and voices…

Don’t even get me started on super smash brothers……my eight year old has lost all respect for my game playing skills. I’m used to final fantasy and I can kill it in animal crossing. Lollll

Seriously though, feel better, deep breaths and hold your head up high. You got this. I know you do.

That’s how I felt when I was heavily medicated.

Don’t worry dude, it is OK… You are safe…

It was also due to the fact that the voice hearing was still raw, fresh.

Give it time and you’ll feel better

Paranoia can be rough sometimes.
I agree with the other posters when they say you can distract yourself from those thoughts.
If your playing games, more power to you.

Thanks! It was fun. Im watching tv rn. Appreciate your support : )!! @Ares

It will pass, try to take it one minute at a time.
Remember no feeling is permanent. Whatever is making your brain try to scare you at the moment will simmer down eventually, and you’ll feel better.
Deep breaths.

yea i know the feeling like something bad is gonna happen… I get that feeling too sometimes. Paranoia is a ■■■■■ really.

But you can know the feeling passes again and you’ll feel better. And also realize that the feeling is prob not right either… it’s just some feeling in us but it’s not reality.

Thank you! It did go away, I just needed some time. It comes back of course but eventually it gets less and less if I apply some logic. Thank you @lekkerhondje ! Appreciate your support!! : D

I would call that a panic attack. I have a PRN for a benzodiazepene for panic.

They used to give me lorazepam but they stopped it : /. I don’t know why, it was for my catatonia. Oh well, I have another prn for anxiety now.
