Trigger unusual beliefs help... Regarding my psychosis today

Is it possible for us to be spyed on via the covid vaccine?

Confident that this might be a stupid question…

But I really believed it

Secondly

What does it mean when you experience numerous coincidences?

It seems like magic?

Thirdly

I feel we as schizophrenics,

Have potentially something amazing

Counterarguments?

I don’t see how. My answer is no.

Connecting coincidences and seeing patterns that arent there is a hallmark of psychotic disorders. Nothing magical about it. Delusions of reference I believe its called.

Categorically not.

It’s called delusions of reference. It’s a symptom of mental illness.

I know you have an appointment with your doctor tomorrow. Can you hold out until then or do you think you need to go to A&E ?

I prefer not to say it as it makes me feel uneasy.

can you get in to see your pdoc? you should be telling him/her these things…you are delusional and could get full blown fast if you don’t get help…are you taking your meds?

That’s exactly what I went through a few days before I went 100% psychotic and was forcibly hospitalised.

Make sure you tell the doctor you’re afraid you’re having a relapse tomorrow. Tell him everything you’ve told us.

I completely made a fool of myself in the shared accommodation today where I live :no_mouth:

I don’t know if they’ll ever see me the same way again.

Don’t worry about your flatmates, worry about yourself. Try to get some sleep.

If you can’t sleep, then consider A&E.

But yes thanks

I ask because this is something I experienced during my psychotic break today.

Also in my first and possibly second episode, I also experienced coincidences.

I think it is maybe to do with hallucinating things that my mind is thinking of? Honestly I have no clue.

Or because maybe our dopamine is high during psychosis apparently and I think dopamine plays a role in attentiveness

So perhaps that makes us look out for coincidences like crazy so more likely to find some.

I really don’t know.
