COVID and Psychosis

...See more Ever since COVID started and continued, I've had constant episodes of psychosis as my brain cannot shut off the fear of getting sick due to my immunocompromised self possibly perishing. Since then, my anxiety, depression, apathy and of course, psychosis has been devastating me. I don't remember how a typical person without these things is supposed to act and that makes me equally as anxious as hopeless. I've debated so many things, thought over things thousands of times, hallucinated thousands of times and yet i still don't have the grace of being taken seriously. It's as if no one can truly visualize me and see someone else instead, like I'm behind a thick pane and they only see a refracted version of myself. I wish they could understand but my brain is so rotted from having an episode every month every week i just want it to end so I can find the peace i was once blessed with. Please?

...See more It's been over a year since I stopped taking my medication because of paranoid delusions. I started taking it again today and quickly realized that this is much better than the constant psychosis I was dealing with for that time. I almost forgot that there was a reality besides seeing things and hearing things and being paranoid to the point of ruining my relationships. I may not be on meds forever and may stop taking them for reasons again but until then this is at least a nice bit of relief that I very much needed.
Herniated Disc Gone Wrong

...See more So I was diagnosed with having a herniated disc in my back approximately four years ago. It was left untreated due to it not being bad enough. Well, the four years have passed and my pain is both spreading down my legs and to my feet and up my back and towards my neck and shoulders. My pain has also gotten significantly worse and I need to take medication to calm it down. I've been debating getting a wheelchair for a year or two and due to my increasing pain in my lower extremities I figure that now is a good time. I'm hoping to ease my pain without relying on my legs too much, seeing as they have their own issues excluding the radiating pain. Until I can see some relief, wish me luck because it may be a while until any of this can even come to fruition.

...See more Hello all. I'm asking for assistance on a sort of urgent matter. We were watching a TV Show and got triggered into rapid switching and cannot stop. This has been going on since last night and I was wondering if any other systems knew any grounding techniques specific to this scenario. I also have a psychologist I can contact if that's recommended instead. Thank you kindly for your assistance

...See more Has anyone else who has experienced hallucinations (auditory, visual or otherwise) for a long period of time notice that they change and shift and become more realistic? I mostly experience visual hallucinations and they have gone from basic dark silhouettes to hyper realistic figures of people or insects. I was curious why this happened (if anyone knew that answer) or if this was a common phenomenon that other people with psychosis have dealt with

...See more So, my psychologist has recently diagnosed me with PPD and she's also considering Schizoid or Schizotypal. It made me a little confused, seeing as I thought most of my symptoms belonged to a different cluster of PDs, although she made the point of saying that my testing was 'all over the place'. I'm really just curious from other people who have this disorder, or a different one in the same cluster, is comorbidity really normal and frequent? What sort of coping mechanisms and skills should I be working on with my psychologist to improve? Also, what are some hot tips from you all about this disorder because I am very new to it so I'd like to know more about it, if possible.
