Art therapy
Reading Excercise Playing videogames Expressing all my mental ****. The only problem? Lack of motivation. But I have to do it if I want to stay antipsychotic free. I don't tolerate antipsychotics really well, I cannot study even if I take a micro dosage (I am studying a degree in pharmacy). And yeah, I have tried almost all of them. I have therapy with my psychiatrist once each 1-2 weeks. Is there something that help you with what psychiatrist call psychosis beyond antipsychotics? Is there a way to don't obey the voices? How can I communicate with them to convince them to don't kill myself on 24 December? I don't want to die but I have to convince them in order to avoid dying.

I just read the last part of your message.....you don't have to listen to them....they are not real....if you're even remotely thinking of listening to them I suggest checking into the hospital where you can be kept safe .....

my pdoc told me to say to my voices that "They were not real so go f.ck off!" over and over agaain but I think Sometimes Psychotic is right checking yourself into hospital is a safe thing to do.

I practice Stoicism. Its kinda misunderstood, but its helped me a great deal, people think its about repressing emotions and what not . Its more about training your mind ; that nothing that happens is good or bad but its your thinking behind what happens that decides if something is good or bad. So you could be insulted, but if you dont really believe that what was said harms you then you can not really ever be insulted(takes time to rewire your brain;ie. old thinking habits). FYI Stoicism is the foundation for CBT therapy. Theres lots of blogs,youtube videos, etc. on it. I think it can help you have some autonomy.
good luck.

So, you ask, if the training is only partly effective, why bother? Because as you know from antipsychotic drugs, results vary by individual. What is a partial solution for me might kick *** for you. You might find that CBSST gives you 90% relief from the voices. You should consult your psychiatrist and see what she says. |

You shouldn't make threats on here that you're going to kill yourself. Getting people worried and all that, it's not productive.

When in an appropriate environment, close your eyes, try to gather them in an assembly and work as a mediator to reach an agreement with them. Make it clear that your life and well being are off the table. There must be another thing that they wanted you to do that maybe you neglected so they got pissed and it evolved into a destructive demand. Say that you're sorry for that, that you don't want them to suffer anymore, and that you're willing to compensate it in a way that doesn't involve hurting yourself or others (including them, because after all they are part of you!). Maybe you can suggest them to work with you in a creative project, but let them know that you can't do it without them, because you know that all their energy, when not canalised into hating you, is essential for you to reach full inspiration and that you all can create beauty together. Instead of killing yourself in December 24, celebrate the agreement.

By the way I'm also from the club of those who don't respond well to APs. They are poison to me: physical and spiritually. I had to invest in the search for psychic mechanisms to keep myself in orbit. It isn't effective 100% of the time but at least I find comfort in knowing that my spirit is safe.

I feel for you man. I had a half dozen breakdowns when I was in my 20's. I didn't like taking the medicine either but I realize now that there were times when I did need to take it. I don't know much about atypical though as my breakdowns stopped in the early 80's
