You're not alone, psychosis sucks. My delusions have been spiking from out of nowhere. I feel like my dad is reading my thoughts, and the other day I got so visibly angry around him I almost yelled at him to get out of my head. Then I felt immediately guilty and tried to talk to him, but I felt the same physical sensation telling me that he was in my head, like he wanted me to feel guilty so I wouldn't suspect him. Then I'm like, "you're an idiot" and it goes back and forth. **** sucks, it's so uncomfortable and it makes everything you do so complicated and with so much doubt and hesitation.

I signed up for a PHP, but it's taking forever for them to get it set up with insurance, so I have nothing atm. Have you considered PHP? Maybe it can be a middle ground if you don't want to go IP, but at the same time PHP can keep you occupied and safe during the day. Sometimes just listening to people process about similar things can distract me. And it usually makes me more productive and wanting to do things when I get back, which can also distract you and your psychosis. I think I really need it, I'm just wasting away all day at home atm.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with dream states, but when I'm psychotic and out of reality I either go for a nature walk or try to distract myself with funny videos. Music is hit or miss, it often causes flashbacks which potentiate my anger and paranoia, but it can help. For the first one, it really depends on the degree of it at that moment. I usually walk to this park that's like 30 minutes away from me, but if I'm that far out there I can see myself running deep into the woods and doing weird **** that I've done in the past. But if I'm fighting it and there's some insight, often the ambient sound of nature and the visuals help distract. Unfortunately I'm not doing that right now since Seroquel is giving me some pain.
