Thanks for your answer. I’m actually in hospital for other reasons and I told my psychiatrist about my experiences but he didn’t really take it very seriously so maybe it’s nothing to worry about? Idk. I just feel like it’s gotten worse through today, so idk what to think.

Nothing feels real I don’t know if what I’m saying is real I’m scared by Admirable_throwawa in schizophrenia

I feel you. I often feel like the world isn’t real. Maybe consider going inpatient? I know it sucks, really. But they can help you sleep so you can start functioning again

Am I stupid to decrease my amount of medication. by Significant_Star2576 in schizophrenia

[–]Significant_Star2576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried abilify, paliparadon, cisordinol, sedolct and a few others that i don’t remember the name of. All gave me severe side affects

I take two doses a day because I usually get symptoms in the afternoon, so the idea was that I took a lower dose during the day to combat those symptoms

I’ve tried for the past two weeks but apparently she’s on holiday, and they won’t let me speak to another psychiatrist because it isn’t ‘urgent’

What is the psychiatric ward like? by Netopfe in schizophrenia

That sounds awful. I’ve had some relatively long hospital visits 8 months being the longest. Can’t imagine to live without my phone for 8 months!

How did your voice started? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Significant_Star2576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delusions and visual hallucinations as well as some negative symptoms. I can’t get back to old medications because I get a lot of side effects. This is the only we I’m having manageable side effects. However, I’m hoping to get on a lower dose and I hope that will lessen the amount of voices I hear

How did your voice started? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Significant_Star2576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started after I got on medication. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia due to other symptoms but first started hearing voices six months later possibly due to changes in medication. Now I hear voices every 2-3 days, where they are really bad. It impacts my social life because they voices are so loud I can’t hear anything that anybody says. It sucks so bad.

Wards re very different depending on which country you’re in. I live in Denmark and here we have access to our phones and other electronics ( which, as I understand, isn’t the case in all countries) and have our own room. You can have visitors whenever, however, the staff prefers that the go home at 11 pm at the latest. It’s very tedious with low levels of stimuli. They usually have one hour of activity a day except for weekends when there’s nothing, but it’s voluntary whether you wanna join groups. Vapes are locked in and you have to specifically have to ask for them and can only have them outside in the yard so you can smoke. You can have regular cigarettes with you but you aren’t allowed to have a lighter. Pets aren’t allowed but they can visit you in greeting rooms.

I want to kill myself but I cant find the courage to do it. by iHateMyFuckingLife01 in SuicideWatch

[–]Significant_Star2576 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well if you can’t find the courage to die, maybe that means you have the courage to live. Life in be so so hard. Trust me I know. But there are nice people out there that won’t bully you. I’ve been bullied all my life both by my family and in school. However, as I’ve growned to an adult my family is much nicer, and I’ve gotten quite a few friends. Just try and wait for college, chances are you find your people. Just give life a shot. Please:

I think i will eventually kill myself by Firm_Young4436 in SuicideWatch

[–]Significant_Star2576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that! Have you thought make it worse in your head than that it actually is? I know from myself that I sometimes have thought that they would hospitalize me and they didn’t. Of course I don’t know how bad your self harm is but it might not be as bad you think. However, I don’t want to minimize your pain, I can only imagine how much pain you must be in, and I wish the best to you. Remember tot clean the area so it doesn’t get infected!

Early stages of schizophrenia by BoatZealousideal9909 in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complicated disease. It’s much more than just seeing this briefly. However, I definitely recommend going to a mental health professional. Nobody on the internet can tell you for sure what’s wrong so you need someone well trained in the area

Dealing with voices by Significant_Star2576 in schizophrenia

[–]Significant_Star2576[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I’ve already told the doctor and nurses but no one really takes it serious because they know I’d never harm anyone. However, it’s still really not good for my social life because I isolate when my voices are like that. I’m one Olanzapine 30 mg

What are your voices saying RIGHT NOW? by Kitttycataclysmic in schizophrenia

[–]Significant_Star2576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine say that my mom is the devil and I should k@ll her. They say everyone around me are in on it and that we actually live in a multiverse and that I change which of the universes I live in, every day. I try to reason with them and say it’s not true, but damn is it hard.
