I don't do it to try to relieve psychosis, but more urges and "abuse voices" (as one therapist calls it), so I'm not sure if this would help, but could you try taking back to the voices? My ex-mother in law (a psychiatrist) believed that psychosis was just another form of abuse voices that we just internalized and experienced differently. I'm not sure of her success in treating her clients, as we did not get along well, but i can see where that they makes sense... can you write to them or draw out responses to what they are telling you? I have had that work for me a few times when the flashbacks got too bad. I know it's not the same, but I'm just trying to think of other things that may help. You may have heard this all before... (hugs) does asking your bf for support or having him talk back to the voices help? I know if i had the courage to ask, support from my wife would help during intense urges.
Holiday weekends suck when it means your professional support team is unavailable. I was discharged from the hospital on Friday and missed seeing my therapist by half an hour. It was really frustrating as i could use the extra support... Do you have a safety plan in place? I'm sorry you are having a tough time right now. I hope you can find something to help you through all this safely. I know it sucks and is ready not helpful for anything other than physical safety and meds, but would the hospital be a viable option if things get bad again? I have no insurance at all, but they have grants to help pay for my stay. Could you utilize that if needed?
