What is your one worst remaining symptom of your MI?

delusions, hallucinations, anhedonia, avolition, cognitives…what is your worst symptom?

I have no positives so my worst remaining symptom is anhedonia. I have made some strides in this area but I still consider anhedonia to be my mortal enemy.

Second would be avolition.

delusions. I just realized that I used to think I was being followed.

I still have a lot of symptoms.

Negatives, no motivation, can’t focus.

Positives, voices, feel like my brain is cracked.

I have the same issues but they are not related to psychosis.

I would have to say depression. Every once in a while, I’ll get an overwhelming feeling of intense self-loathing

@Sarah I used to have debilitating panic attacks and was afraid of leaving the house alone…my mom nursed me to stores and doctors until I learned through therapy that you have to learn to “focus and ignore” the fear associated with anxiety…this is not easily done because the fear is so strong…I now am anxiety free…try therapy.

Thank you @jukebox . I have more therapy appointments coming up in mid March. I did find the sessions very helpful last year.

So happy you managed to overcome your panic and anxiety.

carry a small polished stone or crystal in your pocket to grasp when you feel the fear hit…practice long breaths in and out and focus on your stone in your hand in your pocket. take it out and look at it if you want, but grip the rock. squeeze the fear out of the rock and overcome your anxiety and fear !! it takes a lot of practice…I was without hope when I didn’t know what to do…sorry Sarah.

Thought broadcasting and ideas of reference. I feel like the environment reacts to what I’m feeling and thinking. It keeps me on edge, and I worry a lot because of it.

Paranoia. Pure and simple. I know its in my head - and probably part of my persecution complex, but at times, im arsed if i can shake it off.

Knackers me when im trying to do such a simple thing as shopping.
