Paranoia ramped up for a bit was convinced everyone I knew was plotting to capture and torture me. It's fading ever so slowly. Ugh!!!

Thanks. I should be ok as long as I fall asleep soon. Today has been pretty darn mild in comparison to the past week or so.

I changed my name last night and I fell asleep fast enough last night to avoid complete insanity.

Pretty quiet day so far in this head of mine. I can't believe it's almost 1PM here and no paranoia yet. That's a good thing I suppose. Just feels weird after the last week or two. Pretty tired was up at 6:15AM. So, I'm gonna take a nap.

Well maybe the med adjustment last week has started to work. I do probably need another 1/2mg in the morning. Nighttime isn't too terribly bad if I get to sleep by midnight, but another 1/2mg at night would probably eliminate a greater majority of it.

Yesterday and today have been fairly quiet in my mind. A nice break from the absolute chaos I was experiencing.

Really struggling today. Almost didn't eat lunch...was soooo paranoid someone poisoned it. It's really hard to break through with some rational thought but I managed to get lunch down without dying. Also, having paranoia that someone followed me home when I went to get lunch and is wait for me to leave again so they can hurt/kill me.

Sorry you're feeling so bad. Paranoia is a terrible thing to have to live with. It definitely sounds like you either need a different AP or serious dosage increase. I know that for me the paranoia faded off into the background once I was on powerful enough meds. I hope the NP is able to bring you some relief at your appointment.

I'm pretty sure we'll be changing the AP and using at least 1mg AM & PM. Hopefully 2mg at nite.

Well, guess I'll suffer till Wednesday seeing as that's the earliest they could book me for her. Sooooo tired of fighting this. Can't wait to see NP next week.
So sorry to hear, it's a last resort and depending on where you can go, a psych ward can be a positive and helpful experience or not...sorry and hope you get help and feel better!

I'm going to get relief if it's the only thing I do in the near future. Just frustrating it takes so long outpatient but inpatient is NOT a possibility right now. I'm still doing ok the majority of the time...so...the hospital isn't ideal. Although it would be nice to get it right in a couple of days.

It sounds like you have the right attitude, being determined to get relief. I wish you the very best at your appointment tomorrow. Hang in there.

NP appointment tomorrow at 12:15. I really hope we work this out a little more quickly this time around. I'm super anxious to be there and figure this out. I'm getting a bit impatient. The paranoia is SUPER exhausting!!!
