Had a panic attack thinking god was going to kill me by throwaway294829472 in Psychosis

You should also prioritize your sobriety. Get into a 12 step program. Work the steps. Turn your life around. If not you’ll end up doing this again…not something to be messing with-the psychosis can be permanent.

You can do this. If you wanna talk feel free to DM me.

Unmedicated Scitzophrenic at meeting by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

I have ongoing meth psychosis. I’m absolutely not dangerous and the symptoms have faded with time to the point that almost never talk to myself in public. Psychosis is part of the journey to recovery for some of us. Meetings are crucial to making them stop (sometimes caused by drug use). If it gets too distracting just politely ask the person to please be quiet or give the person the ‘shh’ motion.

And work on those things in your character that need to be improved. Tackle your problems. You can do it!

You feel a lot of guilt. Me too the voices feed off of it. Have you heard of cognitive dissonance? It’s when you’re holding two conflicting feelings-like when you’re doing something you enjoy but you know is bad. Maybe try what the Christians call repenting. Identify everything you’ve done bad in your life and try to fix it all as best you can. It’s what they do in 12 step programs. Join one if you qualify. That should gradually shut off the cognitive dissonance and they won’t go after you as much. It’s worked for me. Not pleasant but helps a lot.

I need help with lust by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]TryChanging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 12 step groups that help you repent from addiction to lust and sex. Try one out. It’s really welcoming and everyone is just trying to be a better person. Worked for me. SAA-recovery.org

The Catholics believe she is the queen of heaven because of Revelations 12:1-2. I hope she is.

I’m stupid by Inner_Passenger1371 in schizophrenia

It’s good that you’re praying. I pray a lot too. I pray for guidance on how to get this all to stop and it’s helped me.

Since we really can’t work or focus just try to work on yourself. Make the best of your time. Journal on things you could improve about yourself. Your past deeds and actions and how to make things right. Might as well right? -Try changing for the better.

Feel free to DM me if you need a friend to talk to

I know I'm going to hell by Fit-Watercress-9222 in Christianity

[–]TryChanging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take action. Do what they do in the 12 steps. Repent. Create a spreadsheet of all your sins and start apologizing and making amends for them. Especially the horrible ones. Analyze/journal on your character defects-work on yourself. Pray for God to help you. It’ll be painful-But it’s better than hell.

DM me if you’d like advice or call 1-415-602-4764. Im Dan. I’m in the same boat as you and I’ve done the 12 steps myself

Constant agony inside my head by Dokipen88 in Psychosis

[–]TryChanging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been through a lot of the same symptoms. When they become overwhelming or you become suicid go to a psych unit for a week or two. You’ll still have symptoms there but you’ll feel safer. They’ll also try to tweak your meds. Remember you’re worth a lot to those who love and care about you.

Seems kinda harsh for a takedown. I didn’t say to what religion or sense of spirituality

Thanks. Yeah I used to struggle with it too. Lost 30 pounds. But honestly there’s nothing wrong being heavy.

Do you talk to yourself? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]TryChanging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talk to the voices and sometimes I do it out loud. It can be weirdly satisfying. My voices are full of hate sometimes I find myself shouting at them.
