I just ride it through. And reality check. Though sometimes in Prague, it's hard to tell. I mean, we have artist who because famous for his giant creepy babies and upside down dead horse. But usually when it's not moving, it's real.
Joking partly... but you get the gist of it.
Hearing things
Paranoia
Reality checking, though... for me it is a problem. Like I am 99% sure my phone is tapped and they (politicians from the other side of specter) at least occasionally read my Facebook. So I draw a line on what they cannot do or what would be too much bother, but my friends do not help.
Psychosis maybe? Not sure
Prayer, spirituality and guided imagery. If I have flashvision of bad ****, I created counter imagery of sprouting wings and having a protective shields.
Dissociation
Again, grounding by grabbing on rocks, items with feelable surface and stiffing on my whorish perfume.
Suicidal thoughts (no plan or anything, just thoughts)
focusing on the future and looking for good omens.

Thanks for all of the advice! A lot of people have been saying reality check. I have my sister for that when I'm home since she goes through the same things I do. When I'm out in public though I don't know what to do. My friends don't really know too much about my illness. Maybe I should tell them? But I'm scared lol.
I'll have to try the perfume thing, never tried that before.
