Hello all back again with a problem I need help with. I am paranoid as **** tonight and scared my family is plotting something against me, namely going inpatient. I told them I dont want this but I was cutting again or trying to damn dull knife. I just went up on my abilify and I am having this problem wth? I need some advice. I dont wanna go inpatient but Im afraid my family will baker act me. Idk what to do I know this will pass but what do I do in the mean time. at least I can recognize its irrational now. Right?

You do not say where you live, but from the brand name of your meds I will assume that you live in the USA.
It is very hard to commit someone inpatient for his or her relatives in this country. Very hard. Notify your doctor that you have these paranoid fears and try to relax - listen to music or what not. If that helps, post the paranoid story of what, step by step, your family is going to do to commit you. Maybe it will help you see it for the unreal fantasy that it is. Or, write it down for yourself, without posting. A few months ago, still depressed, I had a nighttime fantasy that would not go away. In that fantasy, I checked myself into a locked unit because in my mind I was presenting a danger to others, and precisely, to my ex's girlfriend. In reality, he does not have a girlfriend and he does not plan on having one. I could not fall asleep until I got up from my bed, went to the computer, wrote a letter to him detailing this story, and saved it in drafts. Then I fell asleep, at last. My p-doc told me that I did the right thing writing down the fantasy. Try it. |

paranoia when it's peaking is like being chained to a chair in a haunted cinema with your eyelids glued open. not only is the movie in your face and unpredictable but the ghosts of insecurity are sitting right beside you and not sharing their popcorn not being very nice! all rational thought combined just a milliscrap is enough to know better but the immediate circumstances don't change and it's hell anxiety cos the input is so overwhelming. so what to do in the meantime? full on question I wish I knew I try to reflect on what I have done at similar times and after so many of these events I got pissed off and instead of panicking I got angry and told all the lies to leave me the hell alone I don't and I won't believe them anymore and it's a fight to keep it up but you are right it does pass and I have to get my own popcorn.. sorry I don't know how to write normal...

they present in such a way that they are "the unknown"...when in actual fact they are really the "known"...just for being there. the unknown bit is what they might do or are capable of. I climbed up the outside of a building one night eight floors up...twice! because the devil was chasing me and wanting me to jump off. this was after years of things equally diabolical and all trying to kill me and it was not until I stood up to it....gave myself credit for believing it validated my fears and decided I was not crazy or weak or something. they left me alone...sure it went on continued and 'harrassment' I call it I just .... like you did Clinte..."shut the door"

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
