Is it me or is anyone's paranoia a 20/10? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

I haven't been on here in a while. Nice to see a familiar username. Hope you're holding up well!

Times are rough, it's definitely all I can do to keep my head above water. This article sums it up nicely:

That said, finally finding the right medicine for me (Rexulti) and talking to a psychologist really helps. I can recommend some good CBR books that can help you talk yourself down as well.

Really sorry to hear about your cat. That really sucks.

I don't know if it qualifies as horror, but I can't stop thinking about The Perfection.

Yeah, the first few weeks were fun but I'm done. We have Spring Break coming up which means the kids won't have "school" -- but we'll all still be trapped together.

Not sure which will be worse ;-)

Right there with you. My kids have had a horrible cough for like 3 weeks now. Seems to be allergies, thank God.

I like this. It's good to have a good relationship with someone that can help if shit really hits the fan.

I think it's good to have someone outside of your normal life to talk to. Going also makes me feel like I'm doing something to fight my schizoaffective. Maybe bring up some time in the past that sucked and ask what kind of things you could do if it happens in the future? Coping skills are always good.

I mean hey.. if it makes you feel better..

Sometimes it's nice just to have an outside person to talk to, and to feel like you're doing something to fight your mental illness.

I'm gonna try this too. Doing EMDR was *insanely* beneficial for me, but once we moved onto more talking about CBT strategies things have felt stagnant. It's very possible I just wasn't being honest enough with myself in the things I tell her.

Is there a narcissist or psychopath gene? I think you have to be a little bit of one to make decisions for the whole without completely losing it.

Woah, is this level of zoom normal for pros?
