Hello im new here. My name is Alex, and so far im having a pretty bad day! Well lets start off with what I seem to believe and what I cant wrap my head around. So my voices are starting to progress and change over time, example they say their people, demons, angels and people I know. If they are people why? Also if its true i cant teach you! When they say their demons they talk about me selling my soul, my beginning before my time. Like I was in heaven and did all my live perfect to some extent! Also with that I had a God complex for a while and im slowly losing my grip on reality! Sometimes the names Lucifer and other names for him, and legion pop up in my head. My voices say im controlling them and want me to stop but I cant since its my mind, sometime they say they change their voices and its like theyâre whispering in my left ear and controlling me. I know I dont have MPS (Multiple Personality Syndrome) but often when they say theyâre controlling me I feel pressure or a head change I told my doctor that but they said it might be because of the meds. Anyway If someone can shed some light on my delusions that would be great! Thank you for tanking a look and have a nice day!
Welcome to the forum! 
What medication are you taking?
Saphres and clanazapam and some other anxiety meds
Saphris made me fall asleep
Have you said that to psychiatrist?Seems to me you are in very bad mental state.Do you think about hurting your self or the voices tell you to do something like that.Seems youâre not medicated.
I am medicated and no they dont tell me to hurt myself but the meds dont seem to be working and i told them that but they still have me on them
Ok,lets go trough this together.Sometimes the meds are not helping us at moment.I went through the same way on my two year tour without meds.Try to calm down,and try to focus on something irrelevant like rain on tin,clock second sound,buzzing of refrigerator and calm your self down.If the lights are bothering you,turn them of and opposite,or try to do something simple,counting sheeps,imagine ocean or some place you feel like pleasant.
Were you in the hospital?
Weâre kind of at the mercy of our meds in many ways. How long have you been on them? They can take months to work.
Been there! Super scary! Iâm so sorry youâre having a hard time.
I hate it when they get like that. Theyâve been telling me all day that iâm possessed by demons and i totally understand where youre coming from.
DEFINITELY tell your doctor. This just sounds like that typical olâ schizophrenia we all know and love. I wouldnât worry about multiple personality. If youâre aware of it while itâs happening and can remember it, it isnât full blown multiple.
A lot of people are talking about meds, and they are very very helpful. Iâm on abilify currently, and theyâre just muffled which is nice.
Hang in there!
Iâm a little late but I read your story and couldnât help but feel for you. I hope that youâre having a better day today and welcome to the forum. This place is a definite safe place for you with wonderful people who can help you whether youâre having a good or bad day 
stay with us and stay strong!
hello it seems you know alot about this personally. Way more than me! I just found out my husband of 5 yrs has schizophrenia. He has been hiding it and not on meds. Alot of stuff makes sense now tho. Please tell me if you know he might be ok and the man i know again? He has been in hospital phychiatric floor gping on two weeks now and he is still delusional. It is breaking my heart. He trusts no one. Not even me i dont think? I am so sorry you have to go through this. I hope all is well. Will he be ok? What can i do to help him?
Iâm sorry to hear about your husband, it would probably be best if you consulted with his doctor about the major details though. As far as my advice about it, patience is definitely key when trying to help someone with schizophrenia. At times, we feel the world is about to completely cave in on us. Being there and be giving reassurance on his good and bad days will be very helpful. Keeping calm and patient with whatever heâs going through.
Thank you so much! Yrs its hard. Its been 2 weeks and he is still at
hospital and still saying some on sane stuffđ its breaking my heart. Now i
have been told 2 things to go along with the delusions and to challenge
them. Which one is better for someone that thinks something is real that
isnt? In your opinion? My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this. I
cant imagine feeling like everyone hates me. Its horrible. I hate thinking
anyone has to go thru this. Thank you again
Iâd like to direct you over to our Family forum, found at:
While this forum is for people with schizophrenia and other closely related psychotic disorders, the Family forum is specifically for people like yourself, who have a loved one they are concerned about.
Also, please let your loved one know about this forum as they may find it helpful.
Thank you very much!!! Yes i have already told him about it but he is
stilk not ok. He is in denial that he has schizophrenia and thinks everyone
is trying to label him crazy cause if a family inheritance that he found
out about that doesnt exist. It is breaking my heart. Im at a loss and dont
know what to dođ
Do. Not. Say. Anything. Negative. Directed. At him. It will make him trust you less, which will feed the delusions. Understand that heâs sick, think of it like cancer. When a partner gets sick, you take on the responsibilities. Let him recover. It may be a slow, painful process, but be there for him and let him have peace while he goes through this. If you put too much pressure on him, his mind will deepen the delusion in order to cope and protect him. If that goes on, it will just make recovery time a LOT longer. Iâm still in recovery myself. It sucks. I have nothing and if it werenât for my family being there for me, i wouldnât have made it this long.
About âgetting him backâ, that depends if itâs chronic or not. And if so, how chronic. I can say that if he has a strong support network, and a good care team, his chances are good.
Thank you soooooo much!
gives me such hope!!! I was wondering what helps
you more? I was told by soneone to kinda go along with his delusions than
his social worket told me no to challenge them. What seems to help you
more? I know everyone is different. Im just trying to learn what i can to
best help him thru this. Thank you fir response i appreciate it so very
much. I am truly sorry you guys have to go thru thisđ i wish you all the
best. Everyoneâs in our prayers!!
Itâs better to correct someone unless it triggers them. If someone is really out there maybe get in their frame of mind to connect. It helps bring someone back. Hope your husband recovers soon.
