I am filling out paperwork for IOP. I realize I’m not self-aware. I don’t know my triggers. What are yours?

Violent movies and the news on TV. Also social gatherings and being around a lot of people.

Anything that is out of place like objects that I dont know where they come from. I have severe PTSD from an occurrence a couple of years ago with an ex wife and a couple of my friends. Well they were friends…supposedly just frenemies.

I don’t know my triggers yet. Even if I observe my behavior very closely, two years now. Stress definitely is the number one trigger.

one thing that I have noticed is saying inappropriate things, on here, and in real life, really does trigger an avalanche of symptoms. panic, paranoia, and racing thoughts that make me isolate. usually all I can do is, try to sleep it off.

so im learning to watch my words, and just become boring with my input. it’s really is helpful for my mental health.

I recently smoked weed, and because of meds it had no effect on me

Upcoming appointments.
Plans to do stuff in public more than just grocery shopping like seeing a movie with my sister.

I believe it is unwise for you to use cannabis, especially given the risks involved with psychosis and schizophrenia.

But you are an individual, and I respect your agency.

Peace be upon you.
