Hello everyone, it's been almost 2 years since my first psychotic break. Right now, I am doing okay with medication, I still get episodes though but they are rare (2/3 times a week). But I am also having these obsessive thoughts that I can't get myself out of. I feel the compulsive need to explain every situation to myself. Sometimes it is so severe that I can't understand what other person is saying because I am so preoccupied with the need to repeat some sentence to myself...I feel constantly on the edge, I can't relax I always feel anxious and nervous. I also have physical symptoms with it...like upset stomach. Should I bring this up with my psychiatrist? Is it a side effect of medicine (Olanzapine) ? or is it anxiety disorder and will anti anxiety med cure it? I am really frustrated by this thing... Most of my day goes wasted because I am too occupied in thinking these thoughts and pacing myself. Is it part of Schizophrenia or will it go away with time?
