They understand, it's a common symptom of hypo/mania. I dealt with that a lot when I got manic. I always felt embarrassed about it too but then realized it's just part of mania. It's frustrating though, sorry you're dealing with that

I’m just worried my doctor is going to be disappointed with me when I talk to him on Monday.

I’ll be honest.

I haven’t taken my meds since Wednesday afternoon.

I feel that the pharmacy is trying to poison me and the meds are poison.

Part of me doesn’t think that.

But I’m scared to take the meds.

What if they’re poison?

Blocking my thoughts.

Stealing my thoughts.

Are you getting good sleep? I know that the way antipsychotics work, they can't be used PRN and relapse worsens psychosis. It's not a good state to be in but fascinating because it feels real.

Try and get good sleep tonight. An antipsychotic/mood stabilizer could really help you. I never seen on the news that pharmacies have ever given poisonous chemicals to patients.

Use your insight - It can be hard to trust yourself but try to listen to what is real. We are here to listen and help any time ^-;

I'm sorry Blue_Bird about what happened. I've had friends

Only answer I would have for this would be to read some Immanuel Kant. Sorry if this is making light of the situation you're in.

Basic argument is that from the sensibility, we receive impressions of the outside world.

Then the understanding, another faculty, allows us to know that the outside world exists.

Then the third faculty is reason.

I'm sorry for the overly philosophical take on things but that's what I've got right now.

Actually, read Meditations on First Philosophy by Descartes if you're interested in that, too.

Oh no, it’s cool. I had to read some Kant for my psychology courses and other stuff. It’s interesting. I want to read more about philosophy and psychology but I just don’t have the time.

I’ve been sleeping eh for quite a while now. Takes a while to fall asleep and then tossing and turning all night.

It’s just hard I feel distrustful I feel the meds are poison. They change me and they’re destroying who I am. Blocking and stealing my thoughts.

I’m just repeating myself now sorry.

I don’t blame my doctor for any of this. I blame the psychiatrist because they haven’t called me.

******* health care system says my options are 1) go to the ER 2) go to the crisis center 3) wait more than a month in mania for a psychiatrist.

I’m so tired of my brain thinking things. Are they real? I can’t tell anymore.

I’m just exhausted of everything. So exhausted. I’ve been like this for three months now. At first it just felt like excitement and energy but it’s out of control.

Maybe I’m not driving recklessly or sleeping with strangers or doing impulsive crazy things like you see manic people do on TV but I don’t feel good and I’m sick of it.

If I’m being honest, I’m scared of Covid vaccine. Because I have meds sensitivity and underlying conditions. I can’t even take some headache pills because they make my heart beats faster in an uncomfortable way

Maybe it’s because I’m lacking a male figure in my life since my dad died. IDK.
i think its related to that, at least it was for me
