When I get stressed, I start to question the legitimacy of my surroundings. I start to read double/ triple meanings into supposedly innocuous occurrences. Then I slowly believe that I have become some sort of spectacle and that the whole world is mocking me.
It’s the same pattern over and over and over. I don’t hallucinate or hear voices, but this gradual onset…this sequence of events…is forever my mental weakness.
Sz is so ingrained in me I feel like meds don’t even work
It’s exhausting. In this state of mind, I half wish someone would leap out of the pack and kill me…just to put me out of my misery.
I feel the same lol
Yeah, I read into things too deeply when I get stressed. It only adds to the stress! I have to have someone else remind me that nobody is out to get me.
I’m always under stress.
Try to keep reminding yourself that it’s only a natural response to the stress in your life, and the symptoms will go away when the stress does. In the meantime, do you have a PRN you can take, or can you see your therapist more often?
I end up thinking more paranoid scenarios when I’m stressed I also get tactile for some reason.
Under stress every little noise eats at me. I know I’m sensitive but gosh it can be quite icky to deal with.
Take it easy @PatrickT.
Why don’t you talk to your psychiatrist or therapist.
You are under more stress.
Stress is unfortunately all too common this day and age. I would recommend that you look at what is causing you to feel stressed first. It’s important to approach problematic situations in a stepwise fashion and eat the “pie” as it were one slice at a time. Given your underlying medical condition it could very well be that this is a pretty “full plate” already. Get support from family and friends to see if they can help you and perhaps see doctor about treatment options.
