Last month her Pdoc upped her Thorazine to maybe help with the anxiety and paranoia but it seems like it is not helping. She is not functioning well at all.
On one hand I want her to work through this and do reality checks. This is something that will probably be there for the long term and she needs to know how to work through it.
But then I don't know how much I should have her take on without more help I just don't know what to do.
I hope you get better soon faerie.

I'm not sure how much reality testing will help with anxiety---if I get an auditory after not having one for a while there is a huge startle response---its not about what the voices are saying its more like someone snuck up behind you and then yelled or it was dead quite and then a horn beeped. It doesn't matter if its real or not its just loud. There is also the stress of knowing that no matter what you do or how good you are you may not be able to stop it from happening again---kind of like chinese water torture in that sense. Sure its just a drip of water it can't hurt you but you also can't stop it even if you want to...
