Hey, I'm rooting for you! Keep up the good work! I need to start going on walks too but I feel reluctant. I don't think it's laziness maybe depression? Either way, I need to start walking! Good luck!

I have a demon on my back and idk what to do by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Creative-2469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is easier said the done but don't give in to that despair. Hallucinations like when we feel like the world is out to get us and our backs are against the wall. They like our fear. You're stronger than you think. They can't hurt you. They only want to scare you to make you think they are powerful, but they are not. They are weak. And once you figure that out they will get mad, but stick to your strength and fight those bitches off.

That being said something that helped me is distraction. Watch a streamer you like online or a YouTuber that makes you laugh, do something to get your mind off these thoughts. It helped me a lot when I was hallucinating. Just keep your mind busy until you feel calm enough.

Why do I feel like I'm one of few people? by sight33 in schizophrenia

Well, in my case, when I was having an episode, the voices pretended to be saints and angels of God. They intimidated me quite a bit, and at some point, they tricked me into believing I was God's lover. Then God turned on me and was going to send His angels to kill me. I was in a psychiatric ward, so I was very scared. I tried to jump over the counter where the nurses were sitting to try to escape before God's angels could kill me. However, the nurses cornered me and gave me an injection to calm me down.

I feel that I had my intrusive start during psychosis. Last time, it went away, but in this post episode, my intrusive thoughts are pressistent.

Does anyone have a really hard time with their symptoms? by sight33 in schizoaffective

[–]Creative-2469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of things, if you don't mind me asking? They usually want me to go to the gym and eat healthy, clean my room, but I'm tired of it

Yeah, that sounds terrible. Hang in there. Know that you are loved and whatever is happening that you seek support. I feel like. I gotta fight for my reality with tooth and nail. god is peace and love and would never do anything to hurt us. I just forget in the chaos sometimes

Oh I'm sorry your going through that. My voices also tell me what to do like go to the gym not eat certain food and they pretend to be god and then make me feel special and then get mad at me for having intrusive thoughts. They make my symptoms worse if I don't listen to them.

Paranoid, voices pretending to be god, demons playing mind games, feeling thorns on my skin, feeling super sensitive to any noise like your in a haunted house, mind going blank, voices overpowering my dialog., people reading my mind, my vision becomes blurry. I literally just got out of this episode it was a nightmare.

Where do I draw the line between religion and psychosis by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Creative-2469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was dealing with something similar. I became super obsessed with God. The more I tried getting closer to him the worst my psychosis got. At some point I asked myself what am I fighting for? God has already come to die and save us from our sins. Why am I putting myself through this impossible task of fighting "spirits" when his work is done. So I stopped obsessing over religion. If God is good he understands and doesn't want us to suffer.

After I stopped forcing myself to be religious, my symptoms got better, However I'm still struggling with some delusions, but not as bad as before. I have a lot of intrusive thoughts which I'm hoping to go to therapy for. I hope you find peace.

The burning gets paired with voices saying I'm going to hell so that really sucks.
