I brush my teeth and wash my face.
Take meds, brush teeth, wash face, put cat in her cage, lay down, and then watch youtube on phone.
Before i get into bed i take my medication and usually have a few games on COD. When i get into bed i browse on my phone and it helps me fall asleep.
I dunno how you do it. If i were to play games before bed my mind would be too stimulated

Sometimes it does do that to me. Especially if i have gotten frustrated with the game.

I hate myself and beat myself up until I get tired. then i have nightmares.
Why do you do that? Im sure your not that bad ?
box fan on, normally music or ambient rain/thunderstorm/ocean wavesā¦ even sound of world war 2 battles has worked.
Music I have to be careful withā¦ sometimes that keeps me awake.
I did use a 10 hour classical piano video from youtube last nightā¦ seemed to work better than those other options.r
The other factorsā¦ making sure its been 16 hours since ive woken up. Normally trying to fall asleep any time sooner is just a frustrating experience that fails. It does seem better to just go do something else like video games. Age of Empires is a good oneā¦ those games can run 1 to 4 hoursā¦ but its a long and complicated processā¦ normally wears my brain out.
But yeah normally making things dark as possibleā¦ wrapping a shirt around my head so its dark even if I open my eyes. Gotta trick the body into thinking its actually dark.
Iām glad to start running into the signs Iām falling asleepā¦ like having a moment where I lose track of my entire train of thoughtā¦ my imagination starting to go on autopilotā¦ normally with odd enough imagery that I lose focus and start drifting off.
Right now Iām looking forward to going to sleepā¦ its about to be 4 amā¦ I woke up at 1 or 2 amā¦ prolly wont feel tired until 6 or 7. i worked earlier today, gotta work tomorrow. Hard to really relax in those circumstances. So ive got a series of podcasts and interviews Iām watching.
I spend prolly 20% of my freetime trying to figure out how to get good sleep and enough of it.

Because I am a person with psychosis, people hate me. Normal people want me to hate myself.

I donāt know where you get your beliefs. I know plenty of people in several countries and they know about my psychosis and donāt hate me. Neither do my family members and friends.
Itās true that some people donāt want anything to do with me but it werenāt genuine connections anyway.

Same here but i dont blame myself for it. Yes some of it is me but i feel like i have every right not to trust people the way they are
I get my beliefs from people around meā¦from family, the news that stigmatizes psychosis, and how my friends rejected me because of my psychosis, and how I was racialized and stigmatized at hospitals.
Itās really clear that the normal people want me dead.

Maybe try to avoid the news or look for different media outlets.
Some media here like to stigmatize people with mental illness but not all.
The media profits off of stigma. Itās what they love.
I also believe that the neurotypicals want me to torture myself so that I will never hurt anyone. Today, I might shout in front of the mirror so that I wonāt ever hurt anyone and so that the neurotypicals like it. They love to see me tortured.

I think you canāt put all people in the same category. Some people are kind and nice. Some people are mean and viscous.
Itās unfair to label all neurotypicals as evil. Itās simply not true.
And most likely they are more obsessed about themselves than about what you do. It are individualistic times.
I havenāt seen any kind people. Kind people simply donāt exist.
Even my family rejected me when I was in desperate help. I live with them, but they consider me an extra trouble.
My dog is the only being that loves me.
They just want me to suffer because I have psychosis.
