Hello,
I’m not really sure how to start this or what to say. Mostly because the little I know about what’s happening to me makes it difficult. I have been experiencing some things and I’m not sure who to talk to or what to do. Last night I experienced this sense of terror that can’t be described. I’m terrified to sleep. I have been experiencing weird hallucinations and weird feelings I never have before. I am terrified and don’t know who to turn to. I wish I knew what to do. Any advice? I know this is pretty vague but I don’t really know how to describe it. Schizophrenia runs in my family as my dad and mom both have dealt with mental illness.
Its better to see a pdoc or health counselor…!!!
I have an appointment on Thursday of next week. But I’m scared. Terrified even. I don’t know what to say or how to say it. I have dealt with healthcare professionals many times in the past and they never take anything I say seriously.

best of luck for appointment mine iz 2moro…i want to try quetapin(seroquel)…been on Zyprexa for 6 month…gained 15 kg…!!!
Thank you. I used to be on tons of different medications. I have this awful fear of being locked away somewhere and never being allowed to leave. Have had a friend tell me not to tell doctors anything. I suppose I shouldn’t listen to him. Hope your appointment goes well.

Last night was a rough night. And I have struggled with sleep for so long. I’m in school now so I am busy with tests and studying and school. It’s almost overwhelming. I am worried this will affect my education and my future career. I am in school to be a social worker. Which I suppose is slightly ironic. I get awful night terrors they feel so real. I have had to cover up all my mirrors and tv and everything with a reflection. And yet, I still don’t sleep peacefully. Thank you for your advice. Hope you get to sleep soon.

Zyprexa might be an option. You don’t want too much of it thought as it can dull the mind. 5-10mg is about right. It has anti anxiety effects and makes you sleep good and long. The only thing that may be bad is it tends to be a weight gainer of a drug for most people though I haven’t gained any weight.
That’s a fear of mine. I gained weight pretty badly on a few of the meds I was on and it took forever to lose it all. I don’t know much about meds but here in Canada doctors will prescribe anything. I was on zoplicone for sleep and hated how it made me feel when I woke up. Like I was so groggy and exhausted. Would be better not to sleep at all. Thanks for the advice. I will do some research into medications as the doctors prescribe them.
Maybe you can write down your thoughts and experiences on paper over the next few days and then review or rewrite them in a few more days to make it sound more professional then take the paper in with you when you see your pdoc

That’s a fantastic idea. I appreciate the advice. Thank you so much. I love writing journals so it will probably help me immensely.
