I think Im recovering, but I still get symptoms. I see these two people in my flat called 1&2 (see drawing attached) who are very scary, they talk to me and prod me. They tell me about this guy at work who is trying to poison me and that my meds have poison in them and that I shouldnt take them.

When I was really ill I had to spend a couple months in hospital. I could feel spiders crawling on my skin and in my ears, the only respite I got from them was in the shower. I thought I was meant to have died in a car and since I didnt die that there were 7 people trying to kill me. I thought they were following me everywhere and that 10 magpies were relaying messages about me to those people.

Ive been told Im experiencing first episode psychosis since the beginning of February. Im on Olanzapine (zyprexa) which helps a lot but I still have symptoms.

nice drawing, very expressive. Sorry about the poison stuff etc---I thought I was getting sleeping pills in the day and caffeine pills at night plus water tasted bitter. Is zyprexa your first med?

Yeah the drawing is very good, though they look intimidating and scary I still have symptoms on meds, but we're tweaking them trying to find a med and dose that helps. The voices tell me my meds are poison too and it's difficult to take them while wondering if they're right, so I can empathise.

What dose of olanzapine are you on? Maybe talk to your doctor about increasing it or finding something else to help. Do you have a therapist you can talk to as well?

Anyway to PC

Great drawing. I was on zyprexa at one time, but I did not like the sedation so I would not take it like I was suppose to.
