I Have Schizophrenia

I'm in the middle of switching medications, which has been a tad rough. I believed my medicine was out to poison me, so I had to be convinced by my boyfriend to take them. I didn't want to believe him at first that the medicine was safe, but eventually he convinced me. I also have been scared to sleep because I feel I'm going to die in my sleep. So, I've not slept much. I should be sleeping right now, but I doubt I'm going to.

Although, I did talk to my therapist today, which helped a bit. Gave me the confidence I need that I can get through this, even if it's rough, and even if it takes baby steps to accomplish.

Are you with him now? Switching meds is an adjustment. But it sounds like you have good support around you.
@Peaceful: Yes, music is usually my go to thing. It helps a lot. Helps drown out the voices.

@jadeddivinity: good are you listening to it now? Comfy in bed?
@Peaceful: Yes, I am.
MY medicine hs saved my life. Making adjustments or changing the kind can and is very scary sometimes. Not long now and you will be through the worst of it and you will feel so much better. 🙂
Glad to hear the meds have helped you. I sure hope so :)

@ZefNinjaa: Yes, I believe I can keep my problems under control. I just know I'll always have to manage things.
@IstillmissEP: Has it been proven to cure mental illness?

@jadeddivinity: Okay I've been browsing the website and I see that the site believes most mental problems are caused by physical symptoms, which I agree with. The only problem I've had is getting doctors to figure out the physical problem. I've had food sensitivity checked, and have gotten treatments for that. I have gotten treatments for thyroid issues. And for vitamin deficiencies. I've been check for other physical problems as well, such as seizures. So, in summary, if it's physical, nobody has discovered it yet.

I'm glad you have a therapist working with you and someone at home to support you. My disease is different from yours but I am so grateful that I have meds to help manage the symptoms. Without them I would have a very hard time.

I hope the new meds work for you.
Thank you. I am remaining optimistic that they will. I am glad you have meds that help you :)

I have an aunt and an uncle with Schizophrenia and the meds have changed their lives for the better. Hang in there, the adjustment period will get easier and I am glad you have a support system to help you through the anxiety period.
Thank you, I will continue to hang in here
