Oh how strange it is. After being quiet for many months they started yelling at me about a post I made here that quickly got hidden. I won’t repeat the post but it was just a memory from a time when I was psychotic.
Makes me remember that just below the surface this world in my mind still exists.
Mine did too. I’ve been taking my medication as prescribed and when I’m alone, I hear whispers or my mind is so distracted, and two nights ago I was in Arby’s. It was 3 friends sitting in the corner and my boyfriend and I on the other side of the restaurant. The three friends were really loud and we’re talking about me in the mid sentence to my boyfriend. What they said scared the ■■■■ out of me and I’m having a hard time knowing it wasn’t real. I couldn’t stop the altered reality until I got an energy drink, then I was acting really goofy. This illness sucks. I can’t get anything done and I sleep really late. The negative symptoms are sucking up my energy. Just wanted to tell you that you are not alone.
I hear you. I’ve seen marvelous improvement on Zyprexa in the last three months, but I know that all the illness is still lurking under the meds. Stop the meds, and I’m still very sick. I take them religiously.
Were you not voice free for a couple of years @Moonwalker? Did they just come back out of the blue or were you stressed was there a few whispers before you heard audible voices?
Obsessing with them will make you more stressed and that may trigger another psychosis. Do you know if you have OCD?
“People with OCD commonly experience intrusive thoughts , or obsessions. … Such thoughts are often repetitive or feed upon themselves, sparking ruminations , which are undirected, unproductive trains of thought that can consume minutes or hours.”
I started Prozac AD which is supposed to help with my OCD too
