To be wanting some confirmation of reality?

[Greendress123]

I know I get psychosis and paranoia. I'm on a pile of meds. But tonight I'm really struggling with thoughts of nanobots in my brain controlling my thoughts. I know it's not true but I also think it might be true. It's definitely possible, I read an article about it in New Scientist.

Anyway, is anyone up to help me work it out?

That's a very sweet cat.
Looks like a real character.

Don't go for a walk, stay in and cuddle Fluffy. Can you watch a movie or something? Something cheerful and non-scary like the Lion King or Madagascar or something?

Fluffy is soft as. we have another cat who is most definitely not the cuddly type, she's probably out murdering something.

My phone has gone wrong so I've got my laptop out. I'm back in bed.

At this rate I'm going to have to ask mum to do the school run for me in the morning.

Right I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully.

Sleep is probably the best thing if you can get some. Hope you manage to make some progress with getting some medical help tomorrow.

Up with the kids now. Surprisingly un tired, weirdly. Tired but only at the same level as normal if that.

Fluffy looks fucked off. He probably wants to know what the hell you were doing waking him up at 3am 😁

Hope you can get some help today & can sleep tonight.

How are you feeling otherwise. Have your thoughts improved?

Heatwave - lol yeah probably

BillSykes - feeling pretty ok. I told my mum I'd rung the crisis team and my boyfriend replied to the messages asking me to call him if I feel like that again so I feel less alone. The kids help me stay in reality too.

Morning Green
How are you today? I think it is good that you are talking about your thoughts. Sometimes we keep our thoughts to ourselves and then they grow arms and legs and get worse.

You're amazing green you were scared but you grounded yourself coming in here and contacting people.

Hi. Glad you're feeling a bit more grounded this morning. Well done on calling the crisis team. Recognising that your thoughts are not necessarily reality is brilliant. You're doing really well.

Man you've put in a rough night. I don't have much to add but did want to send a bit of love and support.

Thank you everyone xxx

Really glad you're feeling a bit better today. Hope you hear back from the care coordinator today too.

Well done.

I freaked myself out last night at random clicking noises. Turns out it was the springs in DS2's mattress whenever I moved my head. I need to get him a new mattress, or get him to stop sleeping in my bed so I end up in his. Or both.

Morning Green I've just read all the way through,you did amazingly well last night and your cat looks lovely,our cats called fluffy as well but I only get cuddles if she deems me worthy

Well done for reaching out on here and to your Mum and boyfriend and the crisis team,it's good you've got some support around you,I hope the rest of your day's a good one.

well done OP, you handled last night really well

Glad things are a bit brighter this morning.

School run done but I have to be available for a delivery that my dad is expecting so I think I'll have a nap downstairs

Parcel (an entire car Engine, strange man) has been delivered. I got a small nap but was awake before the delivery came.

I'm thinking this is showing all the signs of the start of a mania. Not good.

Hope the care coordinator is in touch soon. Well done for getting safely through the night.

Fluffy is very cute.

Keep sharing your thoughts. It's good that you can recognise that they're a sign of ill-health. It's the ones you can't tell are paranoia that are real trouble.

Why do people think mania is fun? It's not.

You're doing really well at recognising these are all signs of not being well. Well done.

This too shall pass
