I'm diagnosed with schizo too, actually we talked with each other before in one of your threads, philosophizing about religion, and your pantheist views.

Considering the job question, was this question aimed back at me or did you forget to type something?

Because I got one, although I only work half time. Gotta go to work in about 5 mins actually.. you should give it a try sometime too, after years of being a neet, I can only say the daily structure it provides alone, does wonders for your psyche and mental well being as a schizo.

>>734299375
Im paranoid and delusional, I know the delusions are impossible but they still plague me, how do you make it go away?

Could you please describe some of your delusions.

Seem to me, being aware that they are delusions is quite counterintuitive.

Not really, there's this thing called cognitive dissonance. Just because I know it's a delusion doesn't mean I don't believe it. I'm very aware that what I'm thinking isn't correct, but I can't stop believing it.

Sometimes I feel like I have tourettes but im not aware of it, and im accidentally spewing out all my thoughts uncontrollably. More recently I have been paranoid of sickness, I constantly check my own pulse, when I feel slightly short of breathe I almost panic etc etc.

Interesting.
I also worry about my heart on a regular basis.
I have atrial fibrillation. My heart rate will shoot up over 150bpm for hours at a time. This happens 1 or 2 times per week. I bought a sport watch to track it for the doctors.

It's only paranoid if it's not true.

I recall a story I read 20 some odd years ago. A woman was going through a divorce and felt that her ex was somehow bugging her house. Nobody believed her, not her lawyer, not the judge, not even her psychologist. After weeks of this, her psychologist finally challenged her to do something about it - prove it true or forever drop the idea.
The next week, she empties a bag onto her psychologists desk - dozens of audio bugs. She hired a company who went through and found all the bugs in her house.

Again, It's only paranoia if it's not true.

You won't get much out of that tbh. Seeing a psychiatrist as a kid is a waste of time (most of the time).

That's the benefit, finding out what's wrong with you so you can learn to manage it.
>I dont want meds
That's understandable
>I dont want therapy
You could learn a lot from it though.
>there any other options?
Kind of, but they all revolve around therapy.
>What helps you?
It depends on what I'm going through. But knowing how to deal with your symptoms is absolutely vital to dealing with any sort of mental problems.

not op, you might only have anxiety.


being occupied helps, having no time to think about silly things make your life easier, I mean who cares about checking their pulse everyday?.
theres a saying that goes something like this...


"when its your turn, not even dodging,

when it isnt not even putting yourself in harm ways"


I have been sick since I was born with epilepsy, I was so worried, took my meds and didnt improve, as a matter of fact I decay, I couldnt keep myself awake from all the meds, my inside hurts and burn from all the meds like 25+ pills daily.


I just stop taking them and living my life peacefully, I understood even if I had lil time here I would get the most of it.
having friends, going out, finding a game, going to the gym, taking a walk, getting a dog, getting a job, a gf.


whatever makes you tick, it doesnt matter, just be happy, even if the day comes when you have to hang the gloves you will feel happy about your life, because you dont waste any of it.

If you went to a GP (general practitioner), DO NOT TAKE THOSE MEDS IF THEY ARE ANTI-PSYCHOTICS.
NEVER NEVER take anti-psychs/depressants from a GP. Never.
If you went to a Psychiatrist, then you're probably okay. But doubt that's the case

That is how depression works. The more shit that piles up, the worse it gets. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad for you

>>734303103
>>734302831
Actual Psych dude here.
It depends a bit on the country. But if you are in the USA, you should definitely go see a psychiatrist first. In fact, any good GP would have sent you too one ASAP.
And you should go see one ASAP. If you tell them that you have probably been suffering from hallucinations, they should take you immediately.

Assuming you actually are schizo:
Also, if it should get worse (as in, the voices become coherent, you become irritable or even aggressive or have depressive symptoms) you should find medical help immediately. As in, get yourself to a hospital.
Yes, there is a possibility that they will want to keep you in for a couple days to a couple weeks (depending in your symptoms). No, that isn't a bad thing.
Remember: They can only ever forcibly keep you in, if you are a danger to yourself or others. So being stationary is either voluntary or necessary. Try to remember that.

As for the meds.
Yes, side effects (especially the more intensive initial meds) can be quite annoying. Often it takes a while to find the right meds in the right dosages. This part can suck. But stick with it. Nothing is worse than a patient who flip fliops in and off his meds. It makes the symptoms worse.

That's all the time I have for now.
Take care of yourself.

Are there any warning signs or triggers youre about to have an episode?

Yeah. The problem is though, I have a very low threshold. Stupid shit stresses me out easily, and getting stressed makes me feel depressed easily. I could never hold a fulltime job, I would get depressed and quit, it'd just be a matter of when.
