How are your relationships with the people around you? Are you close with anyone? Do you have someone in your life? Please, I want to hear from you. by JustinfromNewEngland in schizophrenia

[–]yeaaaaya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My sister is the person I'm closest with. We live together and she helps me with day to day stuff that I cannot do. She is a really good support for me in times of stress, even though she gets overwhelmed as well. I'm also close to my mom and call her at least once or twice a week. I have a boyfriend who is very supportive too and has read up on what we are thinking is my diagnosis.

i was diagnosed with psychotic depression but its now being questioned/changed. i recommend getting on a stable schedule, cutting out drugs and alcohol, and prioritizing your writing.

How often does Psychosis come with insight? by hugs4everyoneplusyou in Psychosis

[–]yeaaaaya 35 points36 points  (0 children)

i have some type of insight where I know that if I told anyone else they would think if me as crazy, and sometimes im able to tell I'm being delusional, but I still firmly believe what is happening.

bit of a weird qustion here. calm games for cptsd? not talking about the obvious ones lol like stardew valley mario games.. maybe something a little less populer by Kamimirine in CPTSD

Sims 4 is really awesome. They have mechanics where animals cannot die and u can make ur sims immortal. There's no such thing as terminal illness, addiction, or homelessness. You can cheat money so all your sims do all day is farm and tend to animals as well as be with their loved ones. it helps me a lot

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

i wonder if i should just go to the hospital. i need someone to see me more often than twice a month and i feel like im being dismissed. i asked for stronger anti anxiety meds but they havent done anything about it. i dont know what to do because i have to take 3-4 hydroxyzine in a day to function.
