I’ve tried multiple ways to trick myself into thinking it’s okay to sleep but I’ve still only been getting a few hours a night because I can’t keep my eyes open. I want to sleep I want to sleep so bad I just can’t. I’m so scared to and every time I do I feel like a monster for sleeping. Something that deserves punishment because I’m risking the lives of people because I decided I was a little tired.

Maybe it’s time to ask for an increased dose of Abilify. Being properly medicated really helps the delusions disappear. Sometimes, all the rational thinking in the world won’t help a strong delusion.

Are you talking to your therapist and pdoc about this.
- it could be a side effect of abilify
- your symptoms are just going to get worse if you don’t get proper sleep.

@Ninjastar I did just recently have a pdoc appointment but she said she’s going to keep the dose the same.
@turtles yes I have talked to my therapist and pdoc about it my parents also know. I know that they will get worse and I know that even normal people can hallucinate without sleep it’s just I can’t sleep I’m to scared to. At least not properly sleep pass out yes but not sleep.
Phisical work helps me , do you like to run or racquet ball or something?
