I’ve been hospitalized over twenty times. I never had much trouble with it. The only time it was bad was when I was on a typical ap.

I simply don’t go to mental hospitals anymore. I would rather weather a psychosis on my own. You should know what to expect before committing yourself. Try to comply with the demands of the staff, unless they are unreasonable. Look at is as a WIN WIN game with the staff.

I just want to thank you all for the support and kind replies.

For some reason I only hear the voices when I’m in my apartment, I hear them a little when at my Mom’s. But mostly only at night.

@martinhersey1 I’m kinda at the same point. I’ve been in the hospital about 6 times since I’ve been diagnosed.

@Sarad cute meme thank you :slight_smile:

this is something I experienced with the bathroom at my parent’s house (praise Thor that I have my own place now) and believe me, no, take it as a fact which I am sharing, it gets worse at night- the professional term is “sundown syndrome” and it happens when we feel disoriented. Feeling disoriented is like feeling as if the time, place, identity of you and others, and the situation you are in are not correct, or at least one of them is not correct. What happens at night is that we have less information coming through our senses (it is dark and quiet) so our brains, as lovely as they are, make crap up and shove it in our conscious experience. We just involuntarily fill the void which is the night- and we are all wired to fill it with incorrect stuff. We fear what we do not know or understand, and the void of the night, that is, the blankness and uncertainty of what is out there, really doesn’t mix well with paranoia…it is unknown and therefore could be dangerous, so our paranoid brains eat that stuff up as fuel for the fire of psychosis.

for example, something just wasn’t right about the bathroom. It was probably the big mirror, the years I had locked myself in it at night when I was ill, the memories from childhood, the way all of the experiences and memories did not match up and made an unacceptable tragic story, just no, I reject! Bad bathroom, stay out of it!

Avoid the triggers. Know the triggers, then avoid them.

@mortimermouse I never heard of sundown syndrome. But it all makes sense to me now. This was very helpful. Thank you very much for your insight on how to avoid the triggers.

I was watching a youtube documentary on sz. and one of the subjects said his voices would be terrible when the sun went down.

You are probably fearing the return of the symptoms at night. “The return of the symptoms is not the return of the illness.”

Thank you. If you live in the U.S. I don’t think they can deny you if you’re feeling unsafe. There’s also hotlines that you can call if you just need someone to talk to.

Take care.
