Would you suspect that my unending Worry isn’t so much to do with the schizophrenia and more of an emotional issue.

Idk. I have unending worry too. Its constant. I tried asking my doctor if i had anxiety and she said it was from schizophrenia. It tortures my mind.

I am worrying constantly
My doctor thinks it’s stems from anxiety but I’m starting to doubt this.
I think that it’s stemming from my bipolar schizoaffective disorder
Maybe it’s cross between schizophrenia and anxiety making our paranoia.
It gets into that spiritual side of us

Emotions and schizophrenia are intertwined, but it is possible to have one without the other.
I think psychosis is a defense mechanism for dealing with emotions
I have notice this with myself anyway
And when we’re on meds we’re left to deal with the underlying emotions
Mental reasoning and emotional bents is normally our general way.
To be still in all situations I suppose at best
Edited. Cos i thought i was talking bollox lol.
I get periods of intense worry.
I get catastrophic thinking, where I imagine everything is going to turn out the worst.
Catastrophic thinking is common in schizophrenia.
The best I can do is complete some tasks I’m worried about and take some supplements that calm me down.

In fact I had to take something to calm me down right now as I’m worried about something big.
Yeah the fatalistic thinking happens daily,
It’s like nothing I can do would help me in the end

Are you still seeing a therapist?
Maybe they can help you with CBT.
I think we worry because we can’t control a situation. I’ve been learning to just except reality as it is with no expectations. To try to control reality is a perfect prescription for suffering.

Would some of us have unending worry with out schizophrenia?
Unending worry, catastrophic thinking is not unique to schizophrenia, but maybe intensity and duration, like indefinite and permanent. Existing in this state of being is torture.
I got unending worry after the diagnosis and after depot injection. I did not have that before so I guess I woke up to different realitty after meds.
Depot makes me feel worryed and affraid so I guess it counts as well.
