Saw my counselor today. First time. First time I told someone about the year before my hospitalization. I told her I could read people’s minds and that I heared voices but did not understand they were voices. I heared other people’s thoughts. She wants to see me again soon. I will also have a family intervension. I will talk to my family about this with help from my counselor. About my major psychotic break and the time before and after. I’ve never had a chance to talk to anyone about it.
I heared on another forum I could have PTSD because of it. I have nightmares about voices tormenting me. I keep my hands over my ears and scream but they won’t be quiet.
Sounds like you’re having a very tough time. Have they tried clozapine yet? It’s very heavy duty, but you sound like you’re having heavy duty problems. Abilify and seroquel aren’t doing the job.
It appears you have a an excellent counselor, don’t lose her and try her suggestions, I’ve had an assortment of counselors over 15 yrs and one that will listen to you is the rare gem.
