I am just coming out of a psychotic and manic episode that started several weeks ago. I've had it for fifteen years on and off. Paranoia is a constant issue for me. Being followed. People looking for me. CIA getting ready to kick in my door and kill me or rappel in through my windows in the middle of the night. On and on.
It is misery. I know intellectually after all these years and a lot of work that this is just my psychotic stuff, but that doesn't always really help with the fear and terror and freakout. It's so difficult.
I don't know anything about Pristiq. No idea what role that could be playing here.
In any event, sending you prayers and positive, healing and calming vibes.
