Mind is slipping

I am distracted

Using the wrong words

Feeling like my brain is buffeting against my skull

Things have deteriorated over the last couple of months

Sleeping a lot more

Struggling to contribute at work

I have always been surprised with how sharp I am mentally so any drop I notice

Just worry it’s going downhill and not knowing if it’s a new normal sucks

I had a decent week this week then last night I got crippling paranoia talking to the guy who delivers my meds. Then I thought him and the pharmacist were poisoning me. I thought it incessantly till one in the morning. Sometimes when things are half way decent I forget how debilitating schizophrenia is. I always read your stuff. Hang in there for a good day. Hope things get better for you this weekend.

Maybe a vacation (paid leave) could help?
Sorry, I don’t remember if you work full time or just on some days.

I am sort of struggling at my job too. Still getting things done, but more slowly than before, and a feeling of disgust has crept into my mind.

I’m sorry, @Joker, I hope you get to feeling better. I know you’re always one of the first ones that reaches out to me when I’m having struggles, and I just want you to know that I really appreciate it.

I think when we feel ourselves slipping, we can at times, confirm it in our own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hope you get past this, man.

Thank you for your messages

Sorry I am probably going back to sleep again soon

Already slept most of the day and it hasn’t helped

@Andrey I will book some time off

You’re definitely right @John_Raven it can certainly get worse when you worry more.

I am glad it helps when we chat here
