Welcome! This forum is more for people dealing with schizophrenia and psychosis themselves, not for the significant others and family of those who have schizophrenia or deal with psychosis. A good forum you can get support in is Partners of People with Personality Disorders.

Hi Ratchet! Welcome I'm sorry you're scared.

Any chance your name is taken from Nurse Ratchett in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

hey what you got to do is this two methods! 1st when the voices come bring yourself to yourself this will distort them totally! 2nd is to interact talk to people not family this will bring him back to reality. with enough practice he'll be cured. my other method is evasive. 1st when the speak up use a surge of emotion this will also distort them. Next is to interact! O and for support ummm clean up make his room all decked out the way he likes it when he comes home look deep into those eyes and jump hug him!! be you and always what you guys want to be...Not everyone understands whats being said but we do understand ourselves...with these methods your husband will beging to click and frow don't worry! PEACE!!!!!!!

Support her any way you can. Be a protector of her children. Serve her, just as you would serve Christ. If you even give her a cup of water in the Name of the Lord, you will by no means lose your reward. We are all "the least of these". Sow good messages of hope into her life. Perhaps you and your sister may avoid the worst cast scenario that schizophrenic symptoms manifest, which is psychosis.

Even if she does become psychotic at one time or another, all is not lost. The Lord is the righteous Judge. An undeserved curse will not stand. I am most certainly praying for your sister, rest assured. The Lord knows exactly who she is, exactly who you are. He does not slumber, no, He never sleeps. Your love for your sister will not be ignored by Heaven.

Your prayers will be answered. You just have to make a commitment to pray them. Modern medicine has proven to only partially tranquilize the symptoms of this illness. Spirituality has proven the only effective method of recovery. This is not a physical illness. A physical cure is not possible to eradicate this emergency.

Pray for her dilligently. Remind her of the power of the Most High God. Help her to realize that God is with her, even through the valley of the shadow of death. You may find much support here. I know I have. Bless you my friend. Sincerely, Glinda Gail

I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bpd, and gad back in 2002. I have been on disability for these conditions since 2005. Most people I have encountered have no idea what schizoaffective disorder is and it would be nice to have others to converse with. I occasionally have auditory hallucinations over the years it has become increasingly infrequent. I have just one voice, always the same, I call her Alex. I was wondering if anyone else has expe rienced this. I have never been very medication compliant. It took years years just to find some medications that actually helped. Alex always tries to convince me not to take medications. She says things like, things will never get better, its just covering up symptoms you will never be cured so so what's the point. I actually kinda resent having to take medicine. Rationally I know I need it just like anyone else with a disease but unfortunately that doesn't help. I don't like the medicated me. In all honestly I like my mania, I get alot accomplished and it kinda keeps the pain on the back burner. I do know what comes after though and thats when I usually start taking my abilify again but never for very long. I do realize I need therapy and I like going to therapy but at this juncture its not possible so I am here

I had psychosis 4 times in my life and have not had it since it has been 4 miserable years of depression know they have me on a mood stabilizer 180 mg and ever since I've been on this stuff I have no motivation no energy I don't enjoy life any more . So I finally got rid of my scicitrist and went to my family doctor and he cut me back to. 80mg I could not take the depression after one week I was fine the first couple of days had a few side affects but after about the 6 day I became severely depressed. I trying to find a good scicitrist.

Cherry,I was also diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Hallucinations audio and visual, but the voices although they've gone away were not the same. A man mumbling, a woman answering a man. Therapy has been constant weekly and important for me for the past 4 years. It took 15-20 different medications over 4 years to get a perfect combination for me. Hope you can also benefit from these AIDS.

I think I may have schizophrenia and I'm worried. I already have anxiety but I've been seeing things I know can't be real, I feel like people are talking behind my back saying horrible things or I'll think someone has said something horrible to me. I know it's not really happening though, I sometimes feel like I'm losing touch with reality. I'm going to go to doctors but not sure what to expect. Any suggestions? Anyone else feel like this? Advice is very welcome. im only 19.and feeling very scared about the whole thing. Thanks

A few years ago I was suffering hallucinations and hearing voices. I was diagnosed with psychosis. Spent a few days in a hospital and when I went home, things didn't improve. The voices influenced what coloured clothes I wore, what colours to avoid, what to eat and not eat, what to watch on TV, what books to avoid reading. The voices belonged to a group of angels, spirits of dead people and even loved one. Some seemed lovely but others were threatening. One "angel" threatened to blind me if I didn't do as I was told. It caused me health problems. I was put away in hospital for longer and given regular daily meds Quetiapine. I was in hospital for the whole summer and when I returned home, was still under the mental health care and got several visitors a week. A CPN, OT (occupational therapist) and a psychiatrist saw me each day. A year later the Quetiapine was reduced and I had visits only from CPN who came once a week, and I saw the psychiatrist once a month. Two years later I was better and discharged. But then I suffered depression and severe social anxiety. Put on Citalopram. I also was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Now taking thyroxin meds since I had my thyroid taken out and also on reduced Citalopram. Been in the wars, yeah but the effects of the psychosis still remain because everyone has been affected by me when I was ill. People from relatives to friends and the whole community look at me as insane and don't take me seriously. I find that I have trouble getting employment now, even voluntary work because of my mental health issues.

It's definitely difficult and challenging (sp) having a mental illness. We all have our stories of suffering and you as well. It took me 4 years to get the right medications and my pdoc says it looks like I'm one of those who will have symptoms through the meds. So that's what I'm stuck with. Good luck.

I have bipolor and schizophrenia which I accept who I am today I'm not ashamed of it. I do not take medication at all just don't want to be a lab rat on too many pills. I just need some help to working the five steps of grief we go through and I'm having a hard time.
