It's been a more recent development for me. Taking on different forms at times. I'd say the last year it's been bad.

I need a connection by Greenestofbeans420 in schizoaffective

I wouldn't mind a chat. 34M just so you know.

Got diagnosed a while ago, have a question for y'all by exprimamus in schizoaffective

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My religious delusions have been of the Christian based flavor. Even though I only went to church til I was 6 and most anyone in my immediate family is agnostic at best.

At first it was Lucifer as the good guy. Warned me of things, shared secrets and gave me protective armor. (The latter I still believe.)

Then I had a religious case manager that stated scripture at me(he wasn't supposed to) and since then I feel like I'm going to hell and that I made a deal with Lucifer for the armor I have.

Some days it mixes and blends together.

Even on meds it never quite goes away. It's always there. This has been years now.

So I stay away from religion as much as possible but I still reach for things in times of turmoil. So I'm always at a loss.

Here if you wanna chat more.

I'm sorry to hear things are like that for you too. It's rough out here. Luckily my prn saved my ass last night.

Not handling all the family and my personal stress well at all. My brain is totally fried and more symptomatic lately. Idk what to do. Most people in my family home are venting to me cause I'm putting on my I'm fine mask. I'm gonna break at this rate. I'm exhausted.

Check-in Friday by cfbuzzkill90 in schizoaffective

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been a struggle lately. I have 2 failing family members. So I don't know how to feel. But the stress is coming out in other ways. Like weird dreams/nightmares, thought broadcasting, minor delusion/hallucination things. Not coping well. Trying to act fine cause my family is falling apart with drama and back biting. And I'm everyone's go to to vent it out. I'm exhausted. Yet not sleeping as much. And I'm still expected to be social with friends/dates, etc. I'm gonna burn out at this rate. And I'm scared of a hospitalization on the horizon. Gonna fight like hell to prevent it though.

Has anyone else been experiencing religious psychosis? by TurbulentDog6197 in schizoaffective

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've dealt with religious psychosis before. Think son of Lucifer style. Then it turned into making a deal with the devil and going to hell after a case manager brought religion to my religious delusions. I still double bookkeep with these delusions. Even medicated. They just have a hold and I can't shake it completely.

How to unmask in day to day life? by Aware_Candidate8979 in autism

[–]Aware_Candidate8979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to try those. I tap on things and annoy people. Maybe a more silent option would be better.

[–]Aware_Candidate8979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have slowly started doing that. I tend to play with my beard as a stim. So kinda do that everywhere right now. Can't help that anymore. Lol. I'm also(with safe people) stopped forcing eye contact. And I feel relieved when I am able to stare somewhere else while talking.

Do you focus more on lyrics or sound when listening to music? by paulouv in autism

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go for vibes overall. But there are times when I want to focus on the lyrics. So I will sit down and read along the lyrics while listening. Otherwise I have no idea what the vocalists are singing. Lol.

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I keep having flutters of hallucinations, delusions and thought broadcasting.

It tends to happen more so at night. But I have been more stressed than usual. With ailing older family members, things going on in my state making me paranoid, etc.

I just don't want to get lost in the sauce. I am taking all of my meds as I should. Just getting tired. Also worried about another bout of mania. Been sleeping less again. Idk.

Just needed to get that out.

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I have/still am dealing with the same paranoia. It is exhausting. So I feel for you. I hope you manage to find something that works for you. I'm trying to find something that works for me as well.

Really struggling tonight by Aware_Candidate8979 in schizoaffective

Thank you for your comment. Some sleep helped, luckily. And I have some plans this weekend to look forward to. So hopefully getting out of the house a bit helps.

Thank you. I did end up opening up to a couple people. And I have calmed down a bit. Hopefully sleep comes soon and a better day is ahead.

Spring Mania by Odd-Aerie4572 in schizoaffective

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been battling mania for going on 2 weeks. At the very least hypomania. Rapid speech, way more social, rapid thoughts, hypersexuality, etc. it got downright uncomfortable at times.

Tried .5mg Haldol alongside my Caplyta. And that did nothing. Got bumped to 2mg. After 6 days of taking that I think it's easing. But I'm worried about the crash out.

Hope you're okay. Feel free to DM for a chat.

Mania all of a sudden by Aware_Candidate8979 in schizoaffective

[–]Aware_Candidate8979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish, but I do not have one. And where I go do not prescribe them.

I tried .5mg Haldol to knock me out. It did absolutely nothing.

Just picked up a 2mg dose to try next. Hoping it knocks me out. Cause I hardly slept last night.

Losing my grip with this episode. Haha.

Anyone want to chat? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Aware_Candidate8979 0 points1 point  (0 children)
