say u believed something that others would say was either delusional and/or (maybe a combination) very unlikely. but that u believed and have been thinking about probably 80-90% of the day for over a year. and say in that belief u thought someone was coming to kill u, is there a way to not care if they come and kill u? i havent been able to stop worrying but maybe if i could accept the outcome of what i believe i wouldnt worry even if i still believe it.
I would rather believe no ones going to kill me.

Try to find the easiest/alternate way out of terrible thoughts… I try to engage in some breaks if something I am not able to stop thinking… or go out… or watch something light hearted…

how do u mean? like music? i use music and it helps usually. problem is tho i can still drift off in a state i am unawear of and end up arguing with other thoughts thats i cant control about the beliefs or talking about them by mind or outloud to myself without fully knowing im doing it.
ill try to think of something…idk what it is tho. watching something wont work cause my/the thoughts are so “loud” i cant hear or focus for prob more than 30 seconds max without getting lost in my head. idk what to try anymore.

I meant like constantly be in a state of questioning instead of believing the delusions.

At the moment I think people where I live are going to get me.I heard someone in the apt above me saying my last name. I would say take your meds and go to bed. Call your pdoc if you think you need to. I should not be giving out advice except I’m going through what you’re going through slightly.

i think my mind is slipping more too. my memory has been â– â– â– â– for a while. but i havent washed my hair in like porbably a week or something and i went to wash my hair and forgot how i do it cause i usually do it without showering and i couldnt remember if i use the faucet or shower head and ive been doing it the same way for years. so i just picked one. i picked faucet and then i mostly remembered that im pretty sure thats how i used to do it.
and my memory is dropping constantly. and my thoughts. i cant focus at all. i cant hear when my family talk to me almost everytime. i have felt weird in this way for probably been steady getting worse for 3-5 years. so im not even sure whats normal feeling anymore but i think it is worse then not that long ago. i cant describe how it feels. maybe like high or something all the time.

I don’t listen very well to anyone talking to me, its strange and i don’t concentrate on what people say.
But it sounds really bad what your going through
Can you speak to your pdoc
What meds are you taking if any?

i dont have a pdoc. she moved away almost 2 years ago and they were supposed to replace her in 6 months but they never did and left me without a dr. she wrote me 6 months of prescriptions and then my GP wrote some more. but eventually my EKG changed and my stress test had some minorly abnormal results so i havent taken them in almost 4 months

Yep i thought that about your meds so you need to get to see a doctor through your gp. You need to ring gp office at 8am sharp and get this sorted.
You need aps
You need a doctor asap

i know it would help but i really cant make myself do it. i am very scared of doctors and of speaking and even more scared of having to speak to doctors. and also scared of the digital records. and files. im even willing to lose my disability money to avoid the doctor. then there is also the heart thing that scares me of taking them again. i took em for 17 years total. im trying to just get by until i have nothing left to lose. taking vitamins and aspirin to try to help a little.

Listen im here to talk all night if you need to. I have tinnitus playing up so i can’t sleep.
I hear you what your saying and i can’t imagine how difficult it all must be
Being off aps is a struggle
Being worried about your heart health etc
Worried about speaking to doctors
Worried about losing disability income
This is all red flags and unless you confront this you could end up in hospital or worse i fear
Your thoughts are very bad as well because your off your meds with all of this to worry about
Your health should be your number one priority

i wish my doctor wouldnt have moved. i took meds for 14 years then i stopped for 9 tho i did have some GPs i saw once hand them out to me during that time but i hardly took them. then i dont remember how i did it but i saw this new doctor. and she was very good and nice and didnt make me talk much. and im worse at talking now than i was when i saw her. it took me 9 years to get the guts to go back to a dr. there are friends ive been meeting with online for 2 years at least and i still cant actually talk with them. i think those 9 years really messed up something cause i talked pretty fine before that.

I don’t think aspirin everyday is good unless a doctor has specifically told you to take it
