Panic attacks
Hallucinations
Hearing things
Paranoia
Psychosis maybe? Not sure
Dissociation
Suicidal thoughts (no plan or anything, just thoughts)

I usually just ride through hallucinations, including audio. This includes Dissociation too- just ride through them. I then blog about them later when they are over.
Suicidal thoughts- hard to say. The last time I had them, they were insistant and I did end up having a plan. It just sort of happened. Hard to explain.
When I'm paranoid, its harder for me to realize what's going on so I usually spend a lot of time in that state thinking someone is after me- real or imagined.
Panic attacks- my pdoc discontinued my ativan so I'm devoid of any anti-anxiety meds. I dunno what their deal is but I'm beginning to feel like they think I'm addicted or something. Dunno. So if I have a panic attack, I have to try to listen to music or watch tv to distract myself or something.
