I’m so tired of hearing voices.
Like they want to get me to die, or hurt myself.
I want to appease them so that they would stop hurting me with their words.
I want to just…give up
I want them to stop screaming at me.
I want the spiders to stop crawling on me
I just want the pain to stop.
I want them to go away, but they won’t.
They just want me to do bad things to myself.
I can’t do this… it’s too much for me
I feel the same way @anon10648258, don’t want it to get worse I feel I have someone controlling my thoughts, this makes me very worried, I want to go to the hospital sometimes but I don’t know if it will be good for me
Eeeek yeah I’ve had spiders/ants crawling on me (not physical ones, but they LOOKED and FELT real!!)
Hrm. I was up on clozapine 600mg, but now we’ve added 1500mg Extended Release lithium carbonate AND have reduced the clozapine to 175mg (we’re still going down, 25mg a day, until we find the minimum effective dose… MAYBE we can take it down to 0!!)…
I seem to be doing fine… the clozapine didn’t get rid of psychosis, even at 600mg, but, now that I’m living at home with my Mom again, where it’s safe and I have daily positive social contact, I haven’t seen any worsening of psychosis, even down at 175mg!
For me, it seems that being safe and living with friends and/or family… and building up TRUST and LOVE with them… it seems to be even more important than medication! Though I needed the antipsychotic a lot, at first…
I don’t know, but it’s more complex than a lot of people think… I read an article that maybe up to 50% of schizophrenics DO NOT need to be on antipsychotics FOREVER!
Though, once lumateperone comes out, I’m gonna take it, even if I’m not actively psychotic, as prevention… since it has like ZERO bad side effects lol… but that might be another year or two
