My husband has taken my keys. My Mom has cut out my long showers by threatening to come over and turn off the water. She says it threatens my delusions. I am so agitated I don't know what to do normal things like running and walking are too far gone and pacing even seems fruitless I am going to explode.

Why did he take your keys?

So why were the keys taken away? Was it a good thing / good intentions that they were taken? Also, was it simply act of the keys being taken away or was how they were taken away which affects you more?

And why would showers have any effect on your delusions?

I have been in countless wrecks when I shouldn't have been driving so it is warranted. Also, I believe that the shower cleanses from demons and I will stay in for hours. I feel Like my outlets and saviors are gone.

What have these people who love you dearly given you in place of these things that have been removed? A ride to your pdoc's? A trip to the pharmacy to pick up some medication? Company? A good listen about those outlets and saviors? Do you think it would help or hurt to write about a positive time you had with them here? If you think it would help but you don't want to be public, would you like to pm me?

Sending you hugs--

My support system is WONDERFUL. I just give them a hard way to go sometimes. It hurts to be so much out of control and to have to be treated like a child. Sometimes it feels better to let the insanity consume you.

sometimes it DOES feel good to let the manic insanity consume you. but never forget the path of destruction and strained relationships it leaves in its wake.

I had a doc tell me once "we don t treat bipolar with klonopin" so although it can keep you down and lend itself to sleep , shouldn't they be trying to use long term anti manic med to help? maybe they are...sorry if I missed that

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I hope you feel better soon. I take 4 mg of Klonopin daily for my anxiety along with Xanax so I was taken aback that your pdoc prescribed even 8-12 mg for so serious an episode. I hope it provided some relief. Hugs coming your way.

Sorry to hear you're not doing well. Hope you find a solution.

I am glad to hear that your support system is strong and good. I don't have much experience with psychosis except drug-induced in people who do and do not have a psychiatric diagnosis and that is different than what you're talking about. Glad also your medications were changed. I've been wondering about you. How are you doing now? I too hope your pdoc can keep you out of the hospital!

I am sorry you are going through this difficult time. I think your mother is just trying to help you albiet a bit controlling. We are here to support you.

8-12 mg of klonopin? IMVHO that is allot. Perhaps a substitute with a more effective med can work better for you?
