So when I was on the bigger dose of lithium, my fear from the others was smaller. But I have to lower it for other reasons. So I presume that I don’t really have paranoia, but something more like anxiety who is so bad in my case that it looks like paranoia. It makes me suffocate by fear when I am around people, I don’t talk cause I am afraid that ill be rejected or others will be pissed off by me.
The problem is that I don’t know how to treat this anxiety. The aps were never a help on this, cause like I said, its probably not really a paranoia… I cant take benzos like candies, they never got me out of the house also. And the other problem is my depression or the negatives. The Zyprexa kills my emotions and this is very hard too. I am not sure 300 mg of lithium will be enough to counteract… I often just feel numb, dumb…
take care all of you!
Are u on benzo or anti depressant… u look anxious Anna… take care… and try to enjoy life …!!!
may god bless u with eternal peace and prosperity …
I cants stand the antidepressants,far, I find… How do I look anxious? 
U seem worried about future right …??? Anna…!!! I am worried about future too…cuz i want to work in a job and get married to lovely woman…with this illness its immpossible… Do love me anna…i am crazely frustated because there is no enjoyment in life …!!!
Far, I am trying to think less about the future. we should stop being like this I find… My doc told me that everybody sacrifices something very important in his life. we are not worse or better than the others… sorry to always ask my questions, I just look for a relief of my symptoms now, not for a better future. Maybe ill put years to recover if its possible already, cause the meds kill me emotionally too and I cant do nothing against this…
and so, people, what helped you with your anxiety? all my docs say that I should go out more, but sometimes I cant. I feel guilty to be like this, but what if I cant deal anymore with going out? Is it the fault a bit mine too in a way?
Gosh, I wish low doses of lithium could help a bit too…
U will get peace and comforts soon …!!! We all are waiting for better medication … thanks anna I like ur hopefullness… take care my beautiful friend Anna1… u are my one of favourite friend in this forum …!!!

How’s the seroquil working can u feel the difference??
Ok, wallafish, thanks. But do you take meds against the anxiety? everybody criticize me that I gave up fighting cause I often don’t go out still and I worry about the future.
I don’t take any meds for my anxiety as my doc thinks I’m going to get hooked bad. I’ve tried natural supplements but with no success.
I feel the zyprexa helps me with anxiety a little bit, but it’s still bad. I’ve kind of given up with anxiety and just deal with it and how terrible it is
