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.
No, he's at work. But, after tonight he's off for the next two days, so I should be able to discuss my worries about sleep with him. Yes, I am very thankful for my support.

@jadeddivinity: ok, can you tell me some things that help to relax you? Like maybe some soothing music playing low?
@Peaceful: Yes, music is usually my go to thing. It helps a lot. Helps drown out the voices.
