Everything and all things make me paranoid. I have been having ones where im constantly waking up terrified i did something wrong and people are looking for me, banging on my door; this is no way to live. My head pounds with stress, i just need some tips to get over this paranoid hunch. I don’t think the meds are helping and need med adjustment, this is just no way to live. It’s like all things i do are being monitored and i end up arguing with people that aren’t even there. -.-, this is ridiculous.

Sometimes the meds just don’t work. I was and still am on the max dose of invega and I was still doing terrible but then my nurse added cobenfy and I’m doing pretty good now

Is there any way you can distract yourself from these thoughts? What do you like to do? Do you like music? I like music. What can you do to distract yourself from the thoughts?
Eventually another med may help. And therapy can help (CBT).

Yeah, i was on invega too. I think sometimes we just need max dose and an extra add on, lol. At least i have some more to go on my Seroquel and Uzedy.
@Catman Yeah! I actually like talking to people, so i just left my room and went to talk to my sister and i had an amazing conversation. I realized how much i needed and loved my family. I also like watching videos on youtube and listening to music. So, for the past couple of minutes ive been doing that. I need some self care, and i’ve been neglecting that, lol. :c.

I agree and I’m sorry you’re suffering.
When do you see your psychiatrist again?
Did the meds ever help or have they just stopped working recently?

I see them February– they just added lithium. They add or un-add one at a time so to not stress me out. But today was good! I found some worrying health issues, but i won’t jump the gun into assuming the worst, ill let my doctor take care of diagnosis, lol. Other than that, ive been laying low, watching tv and leaving the house from time to time to socialize, even if its just with family. Socializing more just drains me from all energy, since my mind is working overtime all damn damn… they dont really understand, but i dont mind– it doesnt bother me repeating and setting my boundaries, so yeah, just a quick update…

I wish i had some good advice, i get catastrophic thinking. So i can relate.
I try to do stuff to keep busy and think positively when it is possible , that is.
