So with my particular form of schizophrenia I have truman delusion mixed with a beautiful mind kind of over analysis of everything. I’ll take words and twist them around amd obsess over letters and number combinations. Anyway, I had to work a 13 hour shift today and at the half way point something just broke and I reverted to my full on psychosis trumanomatrix beautiful mind hell realm. It made doing work really difficult from the distraction of trying to keep my mind in order and appear normal. I’m wondering if the pressure from my job is causing me to crack or if that would have happened anyway. It can’t be helping. It is nice to be around people because that normally helps with my paranoia but something happened today and it scared me. I hate seeing the world like that.
Stress is known to bring up psychosis symptoms
Well done working 13 hours.
Maybe you can indeed enjoy it despite delusions.
I’m also concerned with work stress and psychosis at the moment.
My mother seems to think that my goofy schedule at work is driving me insane. She seems to think that my goofy schedule 14 years ago was a big cause of my psychotic episode.
I fear she may be right. I’m thinking of giving an ultimatum to my boss with a 2 week notice attached tomorrow.
Well, my boss seems to intend to change my schedule now. That may solve that, for now.
I hope your 13 hour situation works itself out. Remember, too, that it is spring time. I don’t think it is just us who may be experiencing a little extra energy.
You were giving me advice
about trumanomatrix.
Now you have it.
What happened?
Can you try to do less hours? I’m only planning to work part-time.
I have had something similar to trumanomatrix for the past 10 years. I was giving you advice on how to navigate it because I know what it’s like. It’s a deep state of disconnection and mistrust and is a miserable way to live. I spend most of my time out of it now, but when i snap back into it like at work the other day everything becomes a nightmare.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. It’s hard work and the pace might be too fast, but at least it keeps me active and in the real world. Plus i get a nice paycheck so that’s cool
