The problem is that during the daytime I am seeing and hearing things more often. My parents say ignore it and change your fucking belief system. They just want to assume that I can believe that what I'm experiencing is actually not real and just ignore what is going on. And if I can't change my belief system than I will have to find other alternative living arrangements. Its as if they hate me and just want to abandon me. I'm going to therapy and taking all of my medications. What else can I do. You can't just change your belief system. What I experience is real to me.

Then they ask do you even care about your mental health about getting better. I say yes ofcourse but there is nothing else that I can do. I hate how my parents are expecting me to change my beliefs. You can't just change what you belief especially when you experience it constantly.

I mean like is it really fair to send me away because I can't change my belief system, that I'm experiencing all of this.]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:58:15 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33921-a-problem-that-i-dont-know-how-to-solve/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33844-voices-and-seeing-things-that-scare-you/ When you are seeing things or hearing things that scare you what do you do?

Now, I'm wondering if this might be related to negative symptoms. You know, not having any appetite/getting no enjoyment out of eating?

Is there a med which will cause an increase in appetite? (And I don't mean as a side effect!) I've tried a few AAPs and none of them increased my appetite or weight.

If this isn't related to negative symptoms, I'm gonna have to look for other reasons. Maybe smoking is causing it? I'm going to quit soon (already set the date!), so I guess I will find out then.

And just to make sure no-one misunderstands: I don't have an eating disorder, not even close to it. My eating might be disordered, but it's not related to my self-image/desire to be thin or not eat/control issues.]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:18:51 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33838-no-appetite/
