Unfortunately I can't drive myself so my mom drives me. Anyways she's not off work on the days my pdoc is available. I'm so upset. This psychosis is kicking my butt! I can barely function.

Can you take a bus, or a taxi? It's important to go to your appointments. It also sounds like you need more help at this time than your pdoc can give you over the phone. You may need to go IP to get meds adjusted and the psychosis under control. Good luck. ((((HUGS))))

There are no buses around here and I have no money for a taxi. :/ I just have to wait until whenever my mom is available.

She would but she doesn't have any. She doesn't get paid until Thursday and I'm not trusted with the credit card because of my impulsive spending.

I really don't know what to do. It's getting unbearable and I don't know when my app will be.

I am sorry it has been so hard for you.
It seems like you are a rapid cycler....
Have you ever been hospitalized?
What are your meds now?

I haven't been diagnosed as rapid cycling yet so that's a new theory.
I've never been hospitalized and I'm scared to death of it.
My current meds are: 10mg Valium 3 times, 200mg zoloft once, 450mg lithium 4 times, and 200mg seroquel once.

Rapid cycling just means having an episode 4 or more times in one year if I remember correctly, it was just an observation.
May I ask why you are so against being hospitalized. That is the safest place to be if you are unstable.

Oh I see. I probably do have that then.
I'm just terrified of hospitals. I don't know what they're going to me and all the unknown is scary. Plus I don't want my family or friends seeing me like that.

Tell me about your psychosis. I have not read all of your threads but if you want to tell me what is/has been going on. I will listen.

Well I've been having visual and auditory hallucinations.
I'm paranoid. I feel like my house is bugged and I'm being watched through the camera on my phone and the webcam on my computer and by the cars outside.
I also believe that my pills are fakes. I'm convinced they're placebos and that they aren't working. I still take them though because my mom forces me to. My family also says the pills are working but I don't see it.

yes this is psychosis. It sounds like your seroquel is not working for you.
What do your therapist or pdoc say? When do you see them?
How long have you been psychotic? Your antidepressant may be fueling the mania.
You may need a change in meds. feeling that your meds are fake is part of the psychosis, I think.

I was supposed to see both my therapist and pdoc next week but can't make the appointments. So I might get to see them in 2 or 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if it was the seroquel since my symptoms started before I was put on it. I was on zyprexa before and it didn't work. I've been this way since the middle of September. My antidepressant was never a problem for me before.

I guess I'll go to my pdoc first. I have until Monday to get the money. I write everything down in notes,so he'll know everything. What kind of help do I need exactly ?

I thought you said you were still psychotic?
Your meds may need to be adjusted, that is what I meant.
