I don't know what would help. Maybe I just have to accept the weight gain and take the higher dose. I see my T in a week if this is mania I want it to get worse so she can see my symptoms, usually I'm able to hide my symptoms. If I'm honest wont they just drug me more? or worse hospitalize me? I'm not going to IOP. My husband can't drop me off or pick me up and the fear of someone harming me while getting transportation is to high. I live in a world that everyone is out to hurt me to the point I talk to no one. I have nothing to say though. My T says when I'm alone and I feel like someone's going to break in to just get up walk around. That just made things worse and I almost had a panic attack when they came home. This is so painful but my headphones are broke so I have to interact with my family like this. I'm more and more convinced I'm just a *****. I'm always paranoid so that hasn't changed. Today at co-op my nephews were counting how many cameras are in the building. I so wish I wasn't there. I don't want to be a ***** if that counts? I can't do this.
Yes, you write that you’re always paranoid, so I’m guessing that you’re aware of the delusions of harm that you’re experiencing?

Look. You need to see your therapist this week. You aren’t communicating rationally. It happens. You’re cycling too quickly, manic-like. It happens. I really wish that I knew what a ***** was... deleted by the word-bot.

Yes, you can get through this episode. It need not involve any involuntary admissions, not now. You are aware of your delusions. You know that they are just that. You needn’t always be actively paranoid; it’s good that you’re aware of your paranoia - that’s great, that’s hard to do - can you step back from it?

This is a bad episodes. Episodes don’t kill us. They don’t - it only feels as if they will. Call your therapist/shrink. Be calm and call - in the real world. Call and let us know your plans, okay? Please?i
