Im sza and autistic if that helps. This started a month ago when i started becoming psychotic again i suddenly developed a major sensory aversion to doing dishes. I cant figure out what upsets me about it. My psychosis is a lot better now i kind of go in and out of it but hearing voices nearly all day. Ive been eating pure packaged food mostly junk food because for a week i didnt eat anything. So i figured packaged easy to grad and not poisoned food was best. I decided today to try to clean two utensils so i could make a healthier sandwhich. I did it but it was upsetting. Then when i was making the sandwhich i got extremely overwhelmed and started flapping my hands and crying. Id settle down and go back to it and it would build up again. I made it through because i didnt want to waste the food. But this happens everytime i wash a dish or make food or get a drink beyond grab and go. Im lost? Idk what to do

I have autism as well as schizophrenia and some of my sensory symptoms with autism worsen when I’m in psychosis and sometimes turn into delusions.

It is very exhausting I know how hard it all can be dealing with both. Maybe speak to your psychiatrist or someone that you see about it.

Yes that happens with me too. I hadn’t been on antipsychotics for over a year and only recently got diagnosed with autism and since then I have noticed how my autism and schizophrenia play together at times.
