all I can do is cry. I ever hurt this bad before. how do I make this hurt stop?
Sounds similar to how I was when I was unmedicated. Usually it was about a woman who didn’t return my feelings. Anti-psychotics have actually helped in this regard because I lost my sex drive which was what was causing it. I think I was having mood swings at the time which may have been the true culprit. If it is for no reason maybe you are in a depressive state or something like that. Therapy or mood stabilizers can help. Maybe also something to take your mind off it. I have video games to help with that.

Are you on meds currently? Definitely let your pdoc know how you’re feeling.

I’ve been there before…so sorry you’re dealing with this…the best I can offer is try to distract yourself from it with ANYTHING until it passes…
It will pass…

Currently no, I have a stupid fear of medication.
Do you go to a therapist?
Yes, well, I go to counseling.
Well, definitely let your counselor know how you’re feeling. I hope you start feeling better soon.
What frightens you about meds?
That I will no longer be myself after taking them and I wont be able to go back.
I had the same fear before, but I actually discovered my true self with medication, without them I was just too emotional, too delusional, too out there. It wasn’t the real me, even if I was too used to it to believe it was.
Consider medication, please.

The meds do tend to do that, for me it is a necessary evil, I am a horrible version of myself when I am unmedicated. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The docs don’t know what I have yet. Since I had an acute psychotic episode (however without voices/paranoia) they’re thinking it’s bipolar or schizophrenia. I was fine in psychosis and about a week after. I was on high doses of Resperdol, Abilify, Lithium and Serroquel to sleep. I haven’t been the same since. I haven’t even had my period since! It’s like myself has gone and no matter what I do (on or off meds) I can’t get her back. I fear I’m lost forever. Worst of all I don’t know whether it’s the meds or my illness. They say Abilify is very aggressive on the brain. Apparantly it really changes the way your brain functions. I’d stay away from that one personally. It’s funny some people take a med and say it was the most tragic thing to ever happen to them, and then some say it was the best. So it’s very individual.
