I can’t stop thinking that there are demons around my friend. This can’t be true I know this is not good thinking but she has all the same signs as I did when I was under attack by the demons. She has strange wounds appearing on her body, scratches and bruises she doesn’t know how they got there and they look JUST LIKE the scratches I used to get. And now she said she was afraid to get out of bed today and all that was repeating in her head was “hopeless, worthless” and all I could think of is the demons are after her and they are telling her these awful things and trying to ruin her. I was arguing with the devil, who is not the devil, it’s my psychosis and I have to keep that in mind, but I was arguing with the devil about her. I’m really stressed right now. I feel awful and I have an early morning exam tomorrow. I don’t want to suck her into my world. I don’t, I really don’t.
This is really bad, Anna. I don’t believe there are demons in this world. Those wounds ,scratches and bruises appearing on your friends must have a cause that science can explain. If could , increase the dose of your antipsychotics so that you can focus on your study and exam. And then go to your pdoc and tell him/her all your stories.
Abilify hasn’t done anything for me.
Ok, in this case I am at my wits’ end.
She won’t let me switch until we’ve tried 15 mg and had no effect though. Sorry to trouble you ;_; I am focusing on calming myself now.
you are welcome.
Scratches can come from anywhere. Even your friend could be doing it to herself in her sleep. There’s a million different reasons why she could have scratches.
Don’t let scratches throw you for a loop. Calm down. It’s not demons.
Concentrate on your exam. Good luck with it by the way.
