On the brink of psychosis

Unusual Beliefs
1

yesterday I had panic and paranoia. I was feeling I’ve been watched all the time by cameras. today I have similar feelings but I feel better. also i feel they will come to abuse & kill me… also Annette, my main voice, puts thoughts in my head and takes thoughts away. now I am blank due to thought withdrawal.

5

Do you have anything you can do that makes you feel better?

6

no. I am just laying on the couch… I have no joy or interests. i suffer from avolition & anhedonia

7

You don’t have anything that can make you less paranoid? Nothing lessens it?

8

ativan helped a lot…

But like other than meds you don’t have anything?? Like does deep breathing help at all or meditation even? I know those things are kind of eyeroll worthy but I just want to help

Well I normally do a protection spell on my house if I’m feeling too paranoid. But not everyone practices witchcraft :confused: I’d normally recommend trying some herbal tea cause it definitely helps calm me down. Eating a little snack I find helps ground me at times i think it also helps the fear response of the brain calm slightly. But I don’t know what will help I’m sorry

13

I also normally do grounding exercises like making notes about my surroundings

14

Well I’m glad it helped a little is there anything I can do to help?

I don’t like benzos. Ativan screwed with my memory. They can make you paranoid too. People get addicted to that crap and it’s awful.

You might be scared that you will see this world the way it is. But dont worry. There is nothing in this world thats not supposed to be here. I think psychosis is seeing the world as it is…and its scary…but i always remember…there is nothing here thats not supposed to be here.

Man sorry about the bad day, glad your feeling better.

Paranoia is a hard thing to deal with, I’m trying to work on getting better on that.
