Someone Please Please Help Me. Posted: 12-02-06 17:53pm
Hi, I really beg someone to reply to this
post.
Firstly let me explain my diagnoses.
Earlier on this year, around february I
was diagnosed iwth schizoaffective
disorder however this summer it changed to
bipolar disorder.
I am currently taking lexapro 5mg lamictal
200mg and zyprexa 5mg.
Today I have felt very unwell indeed and
im wondering if my first diagnoses of
schizoaffective disorder was the right
one.
While my mood is currently stable, I have
been experiencing some strange things
today.
My mind feels very fragmented and broken
thoughts. I have not showered in days or
changed clothes, I sleep and wear the same
clothes daily and nightly and I am
starting to smell bad.
Ii went to the grocery store today with my
friend and I waited in the car while she
went in. As I was sat in the car
everything started to look very strange to
me .. Mainly the trees. It was though I
was seeing everything differently and I
felt as if everything was watching me,
alive, and jeering at me.
Its totally freaked me out and im becoming
very scared. I have been sitting in
strange positions and banging my head
becuase I am so frustrated with these
thoughts. I was also telling my thoughts
to shut up because of the way they were
all fragmented.
What do you think ? I see my pdoc on the
12th, I am definatly going to tell him
about this.

Hi Firefly. How are you now? Did you see
your doctor and have your symptoms
improved?

Firefly, I've read a few of your posts and
may I say that I'm truly sorry for what
you had to go through. My best friend from
highschool has had schizophrenia for the
past five years, I was present while he
was having a few of his psychotic attacks
and I had to calm him down / forcibly
restrain him... so I've seen a good deal
of what psychosys may look like.
If you don't mind, I'd like to talk about
your experiences with you because I have a
feeling you need a lot of support in this
situation.
I've sent you a private message...

Try to make yourself a model of what your
happy with everything appearing like and
keep maintaining the thought of it in your
head until it becomes stable. Whenever
things morph and your perception changes
just assure yourself that its the way you
want it to be. You control your thoughts
not the other way around.
Remember we all create our own reality but
sometimes we can let our mind run wild and
create a mad reality for us.

hello firefly
The drugs in your system is taking effect,
and you not knowing how the world is
shaped is the very fuel to fire.....
would it help if i told you that you were
normal? and that everyone else is
abnormal?
Would it help if i mentioned in my opinion
to meditate once in a while...
contemplating all that has happened to
you, and what your future shall hold for
you....
Would it also help, if i mentioned that
the simple reasons why you dont take care
of your self is cause you lost most
meaning to that which you thought was
real, is now being challanged to that
which was you originally, are you wrong? a
loser who lost to the preassure of the
world?
Keep up with your vitamins, excersise,
chant a beautiful prayer, find a hobbie
and define the life that which was
destined for you. you have all the time
you need... as all things, fish need to
adjust to the waters they swim in, even if
they do sufficate with drugs.... but from
doctors opinioins, you are the best
intreperter of your experiances, not other
people....
may your path become enlightend
some personal development books mite
help...
I have solitude from this hyped up world,
from the books i read... and the music i
listen to... Zen
peace out firefly, may your wings not clip
and your light shine for miles.

Always take a natural path first and the
suggestions he just gave are also good.
Never take psychotropic medication unless
you've weeded out all physical
possibilities. I had symptoms so bad and
delusions so ridiculous I thought I was
schizophrenic, but I found out later it
was just a sugar disorder and all I have
to do is eat right. The sensation you
explain is something I've actually
experienced. It's called
depersonalization/derealization and is not
schizophrenia. The thoughts following it
are obsessions. This pattern is common in
a few metabolic disorders, so it may be
likely you have something physically wrong
with you.
