chimpmaster Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Its so hard. Keeping busy can help, as can moving your attention elswhere. Relaxaton exercises can help. I find trying to ignore the voices (by letting go a little) helps a lot - I coudlnt manage this prior to therapy but on seroquel and abilify I can sometimes. I find the more attention I pay to the voices or disordered thought the more distressed I become. Benzos help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panz Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm still looking for effective tactics myself I confess...when I'm alone I jeer and yell obscenities at the hallucinations Or I talk outloud to the voices in my head, since i keep it all in most of the time, it is weirdly freeing to have my say. Sometimes if you can, getting totally into some energetic project...cleaning the fridge, say or trying to do 20 ab crunches or what ever, actually helps General psycho heebie-jeebies? so far I'm stuck with tossing a bunch of benzos and seroquel down my throat until I just don't care anymore :embarassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madison Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 My symptoms seem to be related to stress, so if I take away what is causing the stress then the symptoms tend to go away as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweii Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sleep. My psychotic symptoms (I still refuse to call it psychosis...) get worse when I'm sleep deprived. Pop a sleeping pill if you have to and just get as much sleep as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 all of your replies are awesome and i'm going to pass them along! helena, why don't you consider it to be psychosis? is it a matter of symantics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
