Been doing good for a while but as of last week started going into a nervous breakdown. New to this site and have no social friends (due to conflicts of people being afraid of the disorder) so I thought I would try an online community.
Started with anxiety attacks as usual, then hallucinations, voices, and now commands of self harm and paranoid dellusions. Don't recognize my house as my own. Having nightmares, breaks in reality during the day, and starting to react to things and people who are not there. Today when crying was convinced the tears were burning scars into my face and even felt burning even though it was not real. I am normally good at distinguishing real from unreal but right now that is really hard. Just have nobody to get through it with. Was hoping for some support from people with this condition who have breakdowns as well and some things they do to get through them. I always push for distraction but when the 'people' and 'voices' push through that is hard. What do some of you guys do? |

Hello, Ryan56.
You need to get an appointment with a therapist/psychiatrist, plus the local crisis line for assistance if your situation worsens. But, you need to have a therapist adjust your medications. Do you have any medications that are used when your regular medications do not seem to working as well as before? Here are some links here at PC that might help you.

I have a medical team and therapist. I am on meds which work good. But once or twice a year I have a breakdown and there is nothing I can take. Been living with this since I was a teen and distractions used to work like music or movies. As an adult though those no longer work. Was just curious what some other people with this do to distract themselves or calm themselves when they are having a breakdown or things they do to help them get through it.

Hello Ryan.. I am sorry to hear that the illness is getting you.. It has been a number of years since I had a breakdown.. I would just suggest keeping your doctor informed on what is going on.. If you feel like you are a danger to yourself or others.. Maybe the best thing would be to visit the hospital.. I hope you have insurance ? But in any case.. The hospital is a safe place for you.. They are there to help.. I will keep you in my prayers.. God bless

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