Is it possible that it is something you were, like, half asleep or anything? Like just waking up?
Have you contacted your T about all of this?
I hope things work out for you, I can understand your worries...
Hello. I am sorry that you are suffering at this time with al of these issues. Are you takin your medication as prescribed? Taking medication before the crisis is very important, so that meds work effectively enough to counteract some of the difficulties you may be having at this time. Also consulting your therapist for further support or more opportunities to get more appointments to discuss your problems, may be needed for you to feel safer in your daily life and help you to remember to take medication, and be more responsible before a breakdown to this degree happenes in the future. There is also a chat at Psych Central, that may be helpful to you as well in your daily maintence planning, to help you to be more aware of the things that need to be done to be more stable in your own recovery program, and give you the needed support from others that have been where you are at now, to help you move on and feel supported during your time of need. Take care. I hope things get better for you soon. Soidhonia
(((ocd55)) Sometimes when you read too much about various disorders, you can find things that apply to you. ;) i would like to set your mind at ease though, regarding schizophrenia. Mostly, those voices they "hear" are not from inside their head, but seem to come from outside themselves.
It could be that your thoughts are running rampant right now, with too much to think about?! Try focusing on one thing at a time, and think about what you are thinking! LOL that might sound funny, but it will probably help you. When you hear a thought, stop and think, is that a good thought? Does that thought help me with what I'm trying to do right now? If not, put it "on the back shelf" to review later, if you want, and go on with what you were doing.
Self medicating is not a good answer to trying to feel better. If you really are concerned, and the above idea doesn't help after you've really tried it for several days, then seek out a counselor to speak with... and put your mind at rest. (((hugs)))
