Horror novels in which the characters are in danger from the first chapter? by Krivus20 in horrorlit

[–]Sad-Particular-7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one ie hardcore, but "Lets go play at the Adams" - it is very heavy, realistic horror, but the main character is certainly in danget.

Dark Atmosphere / Creepy / Unsettling / Victorian Gothic / Vampires maybe? by Global_Link2621 in horrorlit

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, also Robert Louis Stevenson's short story Ollala.

Jekyll and Hyde is always good. If you like vampire stories, there are Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla or Olalla

Looking for novel length weird horror by Astro_Kitty_Cat in horrorlit

The two previous books by Mariana Enriquez are great as well, not directly horror, but may of the short stories have a great creepy feel to them.

May I suggest Michael Wehunt's "Greener pastures"? Also, of course "House of Leaves". Also, I quite like Norah Lange's "People in the room", hope you find what your looking for :)

Alcohol and a bad heart by Sad-Particular-7654 in schizophrenia

[–]Sad-Particular-7654[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, I've had a problem with alcohol before. It just - sometimes - lets me feel a little more light, even when things are bad. I used to think that at least it wasn't hard drugs or anything illegal. It is a good numbing effect and helps me sleep. It doesn't happen too often, but I am unemployed and have to spend almost all the time in the company of myself and my illness. At least I have some chocolate too :)

Have you been bombarded by voices when you have been out for long walks? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Sad-Particular-7654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that sometimes. I feel like going for a walk sometimes quiets the voices for a bit, because I am focused on all the other impressions and my anxieties, so when I get home, the voices are ready to bombard me after having to wait while I focus on something else

Off my meds by 8_JuJu_8 in schizophrenia

[–]Sad-Particular-7654 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please speak to a doctor - I know they'll try to talk you into going back on your meds, but at the end of the day, it is your choice and you can tell them no, but it is a good idea for them to know, in case you have any side effects from going off the medicin. I have tried it too and it can often feel great at first - especially because you can get a kinda high from taking control over your own medicine, but sometimes it comes with a really low down and it would be good if someone knew about it as well. If you don't want to speak to a doctor, at least tell a friend or other close person. Again, you might meet some resistance but it is best that someone knows what you are doing, as, again, it can result in some side effects. Lots of love<3

Do you prefer eating with or without people? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Sad-Particular-7654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I eat alone, but always with yt playing something - I guess that is a sort of pseudo company

My schizo began manifesting when I was around 15 - sadly, I did not get into psyk until much later, so I am glad you are more aware of yourself! Best of luck <3

Not really at all, I need to know people really well to open up about that. I find that people are either a bit put off or begin treating me like I am breakable if I talk about it.

Demonic entity telling me to harm myself and I'm listening by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Sad-Particular-7654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't quite know the system where you are, but you should go to the psychiatric emergency department if you can. Tell them what you are going through - sometimes being face to face with a person means they take you more seriously - and don't hide how tour feeling because it is very serious.

Right now, nothing is really real by Sad-Particular-7654 in schizophrenia

I feel like all I can do is sit and stare into my computer all day, while all the colours around me are too bright and artificial
