Just tell them you need help. Tell them only so much as you want to. The only track as far as to be able to contact you back. From what the full post said, they are there to help you get calmed down from a crisis state to a better frame of mind.
i will text them

I would never intentionally trick anyoneā¦ I do care about you and want you to get the help you need to get out of that frame of mind you are in.

I feel for you @arrgghh. This schizophrenia is torture and thatās an understatement. I donāt know if what Iām about to say will help you but I have survived with paranoid schizophrenia for 35 years. Thatās quite a lot of yearsā¦
Iāve had my ups and downs to put it mildly. Paranoid schizophrenia, crack addiction, poverty, serious back problems, losing both my parents to cancer, getting fired from jobs, loneliness. The list goes on forever. But I donāt care. (except my parents passing away). I was pretty messed up when I got ill at 19 years old.
It was torture. But I donāt care because today my commute home from work wasnāt bad. And I won the whole day and no one can take that away from me. In fact I win in life in many, many ways. And I savor the experiences and I laugh at everybody.
When I was 20 years old I was in the hospital for 8 months. It was no picnic.
I went through some sh*t in there and lately I have been calmly reflecting on that.
Iām 55 now and I went from having nothing to having a little in life. Iāve worked for 35 years, Iāve gone to school. Iāve had friends, I have a nice car. But money isnāt everything. I have peace of mind occasionally and days of calm reflection. I get in good moods and I am content. To me, peace of mind is as good or better than having money .But I love money too, lol. But I value these peaceful moments.
I donāt care about my hospitalizations. Tonight was Lasagna and garlic bread. Thatās what I care about ,lol. Tonight was me talking to my housemates girlfriend who is incredibly cute and incredibly nice. I understand feeling suicidal and going to dark places, in reality and in my head. Iāve been there and came out the other end.
I hope you find someone who isnāt a dick. Guys are a dime a dozen in this world. Pick a better one. Itās VERY, VERY good that you recognize that you have potential. Nourish that thought. Iām here to tell you that recovery is a reality. I donāt mean a full recovery with no symptoms.I strongly doubt that is possible. But getting better and improving is very possible. Other people with schizophrenia have suffered more than me and you but they survived and still did some cool stuff in life.
Recovery doesnāt come overnight. It could take years or months to recover. I have been in the pits of psychosis and I came out the other end. I am not unique, others have recovered as much a me and many others have recovered more than me.
How old are you? Do you have family to lean on? Reach out. You reached out here so keep reaching out. There are nice people in this world whoās goal is to help you. Yes, life sucks in innumerable ways. You canāt avoid it. No one sails through their whole life carefree and happy no matter what they tell you.
Everybody has problems. I hope you can get a little something from this. Good luck.

Oh dear Im so sorry you are in such pain and agony. Donāt give up!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, āMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.ā Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Yes, itās a common dilemma. The average person on the street doesnāt know you have schizophrenia and the average psychiatrist has seen and heard many strange things so you probably wonāt shock him if you tell him certain stuff. If they laugh at a patient than that is on them and they are in the wrong professionā¦ They get paid to help you and they are trained to be sensitive and understanding.
You just might have to take a risk and tell one of them your problems. You donāt have to spill out your whole life story and youāre not obligated to tell him every little secret you have but a little honesty helps and if you see one you can kind of give out little hints and test the waters to kind of see if he/she is good for you.

You are preparing for your next reincarnation which most likely will not be human. You will ned to be able to grasp and be in total control of all emotions at all times. This very possibly, although not absolute fact, is most likely not a test but rather a preparation. Donāt worry, your suffering is not in vain, reincarnating as an alien is usually associated in Buddhism overtly and covertly in abrahamic religions as going to Heaven. Donāt worry, be strong!
