In an episode

I’m in an episode. My mood is low, paranoia and delusions are bad, and anxiety is bad too.

It all started because I couldn’t get my in shortage med after trying so damn hard. That extreme stress set it all off.

I am in really poor shape. Thinking bad thoughts even. My husband is staying home tonight. To me it feels like I don’t know if I have it in me to survive this. I don’t want to feel this way.

You need to employ every relaxation and calming technique you know. Whatever therapeutic relaxation techniques you’ve been taught.

Ok I will try some relaxation and calming techniques. I hope that changes my state of mind.

I think I have some on phone apps I think I can use. Or maybe some coloring or simple knitting. Practicing relaxation techniques is a good plan to try. Thanks so much. @sweetpotatocasserole

Yes I know your mind is racing. Stress is contributing to that. It won’t go away without meds, but training your entire body to relax and calm itself is necessary. Try to redirect your mind.

can’t keep up with my life anymore. I don’t have it in me.

I don’t know if I should go to the ER if I am still having bad thoughts in the morning. I really don’t want to though.

Its good your husband is staying home with you. If you continue to have bad thoughts and think you will act on them, you should go to the ER. Maybe the ER can help you get your in-shortage meds?

I agree that you should go to the ER. Especially if symptoms get worse. I hope you will be okay…
