I probably have 2 or 3 bad days a month

with some depression or thoughts that i should be in a hospital or something. or voices acting up beyond what i can handle. sometimes on those days, i think maybe i need a stronger medicine, but in reality over 90% of my days are pretty good. so i don’t think i will change my meds yet.

Could something be triggering those particularly days?

Maybe it’s a time that you are close to paying bills or rent or something. Subconsciously stressed without the realisation that you are ?

Can you ask your psychiatrist for a PRN for those days?

i could ask, i guess, im a little hesitant to take anything addicting like a benzo. and wonder if i could even be responsible with one?

@anon1466656 i think my triggers are oversharing on here, and sometimes i chain smoke and will start to hear voices. sometimes they just pop up out of the blue though, so not sure exactly what causes it.

I can relate to the concept of over sharing. I personally have felt that many time in the past,

I’ve never felt that cigs bring it on because of just how much I smoke but I know it’s factually sound that it does trigger episodes statistically, maybe your body/brain feels the stress and it manifests as psychosis —- makes sense to be fair, at least you are aware it is a possibility

Yeah it’s weird when they come out of nowhere. Could it be from iverexcitmen? For me I think it works Both ways. Too excited is a stress and too depressive is a stress

Psychosis is a pain to live with ; it’s like a kick to the teeth if you’re trying to get anything done

I have much more than that due to severe negative symptoms. I post here about them but Im kinda tired of repeating myself. Sz life.

I occasionally will experience “bad” days.
I’ll cycle during these days or get anxiety.

Most days I’m doing ok, not great usually but I’ll manage.

Hell, I wish I had only two or three bad days a month.

90% of good day is best enough and maybe comparable good days to people without mental health problem
