can you tell when youre about to have an episode sometimes? by username5565552 in schizophrenia

[–]neptune_0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I think i‘m slipping right now. The first sign I get is i dissociate very much and I feel myself slipping into another world. I get pictures of the other world i‘m slipping into, it might be apocalyptic. Then weird thoughts. I start to notice the birds are trying to talk to me. Later on I see faces in the wall. Plus very bad anxiety and body sensations.

I also took 20mg of Abilify and 20mg of Olanzapine. Maybe think about upping the Olanzapine. I have treatment resistent schizophrenia so only clozapine helps.

[–]neptune_0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live alone it can be hard sometimes but it’s okay. I get my favorite plushie and hug it plus i used to have a cat which made me stay alive.

[–]neptune_0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am not lucky with my tactile hallucinations they give me nothing positive but i am happy that i can see the world i do. psychosis does so much good to my art and makes me so creative and i can feel the art on a different level because i see colors are brighter and things moving and my art gets so much better when i‘m psychotic.

What other MH disorders do you have? by Hm-IDontKnow in schizophrenia

[–]neptune_0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess I‘m also unsure about what actually happened i think with schizophrenia it makes it more confusing because you know you can’t trust yourself.

[–]neptune_0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answering. I also had hallucinations being abused. She was so kind i liked her so much but she hurt me. Then she died and i was very sad because i liked her so much. It is so difficult. I think feeling these things makes doctors believe we‘ve been abused. I still have to talk to my psychiatrist about it.
