I seem to be paranoid lately. I think people are after me, or there is a plot to kill me. I sometimes can talk myself out of it, but usually not. I usually fear I'm going to die, basically. (And I don't want to die, I fear I'm going to be killed.)

I'm sorry you're having paranoid thoughts lately. It must be really frightening.

Have you talked to your doctor about the paranoid thoughts? A med adjustment may be in order; there are chemical ways to deal with those thoughts.

It's highly unlikely anyone is out to kill you, so you can probably quell that by practicing some CBT techniques.

That sucks ..... use grounding skills.

When you realize it's not true put notes around you home to help you remember you are safe

I'm so sorry. Being frightened is just terrible.

From my CBT experience, these are just thoughts, not reality.

I hope all this eases up for you very soon. You don't deserve this.

I am sorry you are experiencing this. Must be very uncomfortable.
Is this related to the decrease in Zyprexa?
Is your pdoc avail to you?

Moose... I hope this isn't a bad time to ask you questions (sorry you are going through this btw). But I see a lot of people here in this forum with these thoughts. Is this something that only comes with mania or depression.. or they independent of that. My episodes have never included psychosis (unless you count the time I was depressed years ago and was wanting society to collapse so I could fit in). I'm just curious.... Again... feel free to ignore me. And please get better...

I'm sorry you are experiencing this. It's happening to me too. Not delusions though, mine are real. It's because I'm filing a lawsuit against "the men in charge". My inlaws are in on it and my "best friend" might be too.

I want to die on my own terms, not be murdered to silence me and steal my diseased organs.

Touch some walls and see if it goes away. My family said to stay in my house, near my dogs. Do you have people who live with you, who can support you through this?

OfMossanimal I don't know if I'm manic or depressed when they happen. Something flips and I feel this way.

Like right now I feel that the maintenance woman left because she saw how much work my place is and wants to leave it to collapse. That she doesn't like me and left. (The excuse for a ladder was a ruse.)

I haven't changed the dose in weeks so I doubt it's the zyprexa.

Pdoc is available- if she's in the office. I see her Monday.

Sorry you're feeling this way. Are you doing distraction or self-soothing? Hope you can get more help on Monday.

I'm​ don't want to call pdoc because she will want to raise my zyprexa and I NEED to get off if that evil drug! Its ruining my liver and my cholesterol is 700+. What will she adjust once I'm really OFF zyprexa? Rexulti? That one's harder, since it only comes in a few different doses and you can't cut the pills up. (They're tiny.)

Plus, I keep having these waves of anxiety I guess they are. Must be because of my ceiling with a giant crack and water pooled up above it- ya think? There's also a second smaller crack over the stairs now! The maintenance woman came, but left saying something about a ladder but hasn't come back. At least, she's come and now I can quit waiting for her and the people who are to fix the problem don't work weekends so I can have my nice weekend with my friend tomorrow and Sunday! And no, pdoc won't prescribe an anti-anxiety meds. My anti-anxiety drug of choice is hot sex.

I am getting ready for my fun 24 hours. Washing a few clothes. Hopefully I'll be too distracted by my friend to think anything bad is happening. Or that he's an alien (I thought this once. In fact, I just saw part of my psych record from the ER that said,"Manic: Psychotic: Severely". I have no idea what I said that day!) Maintenance just left. They're fixing my ceiling/roof next week. Lord I'm glad that's over. Ok. End of post. </post>

This quote makes me sad. Apparently, they found these meetings more serious than I did. I remember being matter-of-fact. Could it get worse at some point? I saw everybody as aliens at the grocery store. That seems like only yesterday. And I completely remember how I felt. Will that happen again then? They said I was manic- severely. Was I? They never told me that. I have this report as part of my disability case: I was given a copy of my records. I'm sure this isn't everything they wrote, but its a glimps. I felt myself thinking someone was after me at the grocery store this afternoon, actually. I told myself, "No, no they're not" but I still hurried away from that person. when does a person slide from thinking people are after them to severely psychotic?

Moose it's Jacky here lol
So after I had "the big one" psychotic break I was told it's easier to slip into that path again
Just a few weeks ago I had to slow down on my spiritual awakening research because I started getting paranoia with weird thoughts and that perhaps this woman I knew was demonic (nicest lady of all time) .sometimes if we can catch it can help....other times I guess there is no stopping the runaway train.
Stay aware and try to ground reality.

I see pdoc Monday morning. I still struggle with whether or not to tell her about this. I'm afraid she'll want to increase my zyprexa again, when she needs to DEcrease it. With all this increasing lately, I'll never get off the stuff. It's damaging my liver substantially!!

No, they got into the car next to ours. I still think they were after us, though. They just aborted the plans. They were going faster and faster behind us. When we ran ahead, so did they.

Moose I am so sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope you can get some relief Monday. Is there anyway you can tell your doc the truth but let her know firmly that Zyprexa is not an option?

Thinking of you.

I don't know. She's so zyprexa-happy. She'd say, "I think we should go back up on the zyprexa..." then type in a script for said zyprexa. *sigh*
