Dealing with paranoia

I like schizophrenia.com
They also have a supportive community.

I have tried five times to kill myself because of my I guess he is now my ex boyfriend. He told me he was deeply in love with me and now almost two years later he filed an injunction for harassment against me because after almost a year in which he just disappeared I emailed him and told him how sad I was and depressed that we weren't together anymore and asked him to please respond to me..he responded all right.. he filed an injunction for harassment against me and I am so bewildered and heart broken...I cannot understand why someone i was so close to and who told both me and my son how in love with me he was would do this to me. we are in our sixties and i firts got on this forum almost a year ago. will he ever come back? He lives alone and does not take meds but hears voices telling him he needs to kill people...The hearing for the injunction was a farce...four emails I sent him because on my end they said they were blocked but i hoped that maybe once they would get through..I did not harass the man...he is so paranoid...how could he tell me that he loves me so very very much and then do this and stay away from me for almost two years? We had connected on a very deep level something i never experienced even having been married twice...please help me..

I recently came across this website that has some really great information. Make sure you check out the TED talk posted there and maybe that psymate app that the presenter talks about towards the end. I did a search in the google app store and found it a free download.

Watching ''In Treatment'' helps.

Thank you for posting that. I've not researched the web for any other sites but that one would apply. Thanks again and stay well.

His gift to the world: Daniel Mackler releases all his documentary films free online!

The URL looks funny, please just google the title if the link gets broken. A documentary film on Dr.John Nash was good too. I'm thinking of registered members from PC who passed away when I'm posting this, both were young and one was a bit of an activist, and I'm thinking of 5 stages of grief process right now which may not be for me. I wasn't close to either of them, but they had families who cared about them,,, I believe there's no stigma, prejudice, or discrimination when it comes to personal matters, and even if someone means good, even when someone tries to leverage and process the loss of someone( this is from another MH related death last year...), there are causes that I cannot support.

Please don't mind my comments, it shouldn't concern the reader too much. It's not a brand new documentary, some people can write books and live on, they don't inspire me to be honest. And mindfreedom had some issues between members in the past, they get exhausted too, y'know. Go easy.

i came across the following article in my various wanderings and thought it served as an excellent introduction to individuals who have received a diagnosis of schizophrenia or psychosis and their caregivers.

What i thought was most rewarding about this article was that it allowed individuals to represent their own views and it presented a diverse range of concerns and behaviors -- everything from finding meaning in their experience to working with caregivers to practical considerations.

I've included a few introductory remarks and a brief excerpt from the opening. Those who wish to read the full article should click on the links at the end of the post.


link did not work

First 5 posts get reviewed by moderators, that's just something they do. I'd still like to take a look at your online resource that you're recommending. I hope you're working on reposting with something workable/searchable. Welcome to the forum.

A guide to APs, receptor targeting and side effects.

This is a book I have found helpful, wasn't sure where to post it because there's not a recommended book section in this sub-forum. it's helped me to make sense of a lot of the stuff that was occurring with me over my teenage years I didn't understand or realize at the time and how things built up before my first episode of psychosis. It has a lot of useful information about treatment and other insightful info about surviving with this illness. It also helps explain schizophrenia in ways to help family members be able to have a sort of idea/glimpse into what's going on with loved ones dealing with it.

The following link is to a pdf on coping with hearing voices. I was giving a handout of this during a group I was in at a day treatment program

http://www.hearing-voices.org/wp-con...tegies_web.pdf

Here's a list/poster of coping techniques for dealing with voices. I found it on the web awhile back and printed out a copy which I refer to when I'm struggling to remind myself of ways that may calm me down or distract me

I look at treatment advocacy and National Alliance on Mental Health
