I woke up psychotic today. I haven't had a real episode in a few months, so it sucked. I slept 20 hours and when I finally got up, it took me forever to do anything. an hour to do the dishwasher, another to make a meal. I never got around to taking a shower...I haven't skipped a shower in months either. I used to go a week without one, when I was off meds.
I guess I'm scared of the internal war it brings. I've been drinking more than usual, which still isn't a lot. It always makes me feel ****** for a week or so afterward. I wouldn't be surprised if my waking up psychotic was because I've been drinking and thus missing my med doses. I've noticed more and more symptoms coming back this week and I haven't really had to deal with schizophrenia for the first time in my life for the last 4-5 months. Haldol 3 times a day, effexor in the morning and Trazodone at night seems to be doing an okay job. Better than the other cocktails doctors have had me on. I wish I had 5 posts so I could see chat right now. I only made an account so that I could lurk chat and feel like part of a group. Oh well. Heres to my first post...and hello. |

Sounds like something i have been going through for the past year, i wake up every morning feeling like this. :1 I also have schizophrenia, and sometimes i feel like i am stuck in an never ending psychotic episode.

There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.

Hey Yerfderf, just read your post and I feel I can relate to this a bit. Although I haven't been diagnosed with anything official yet I suspect schizophrenia or psychosis. I have a question or two for you if you don't mind. When you said that it takes you a long time to do these otherwise simple everyday tasks, what makes it so hard for you to do them? And is this what lets you know that a psychotic episode is about to start? I ask because lately I've been getting this alot. Feels very hard to do everyday simple tasks and takes me forever to get one thing done.
