She raised the risperdal to 6 mg for the next two weeks and told me to stop buying witches clothing and just use what I already have. I told her I’d try, but I need shirts. She asked me if I just googled witches clothing. I told her I search Amazon for steam punk.
I see her back in two weeks.

I hope the risperdal helps you quickly.
Please forgive me if I am overstepping, but I feel the need to say (especially as many may be unfamiliar) that stream punk has nothing to do with witchcraft. I got into quite the key word search mode a number of years ago though, so I understand getting carried away with such a thing in relation to a sense of identity.
You have plenty of time after you're feeling better to assess your beliefs and how you are expressing them. It's also possible that you are just drawn to stream punk style (because there is some very cool stuff) And that your mind has just somehow attached a religious thing to it. Belief systems are often involved with such episodes (been there too).
I'm glad that you are aiming to keep on top of this, and think it is good you are setting the clothing aside to help damp down the drive. Good for you, as I realize that's not necessarily easy to do.
