Really struggling

[ninjahamster]

Voices talking to me all the time. They make me feel so bad. I am told not to trust anyone. I can’t get the help I need.

Hi, sorry to hear that you’re having these issues. I don’t have any experience with this myself buy didn’t want to leave your post unanswered. Hopefully someone can give some useful advice if this bumps your post. Do you have a regular MH professional and if so why aren’t they helping? Voices in your head sounds like it should be taken seriously, but of course without any further info I don’t understand why you’re not getting the help you need.

Please don’t stop trying. There will be support out there for you.

I have had psychosis suspected schizophrenia but never voices. More delusions based. This must be scary for you.

There is help. Have you had any contact with anyone? If so do you have the crisis teams number? If not you can call 999 and ask for urgent referral and assessment. Early intervention team is very good and you will have a prescription and a team within days if not hours.

Completely agree to getting professional help, speak to your GP if not already under the care of a team.

Also, you could always speak to the Samaritans.

I think you should call 999 and ask for referral, and tell them what you’ve said here. Then contact Samaritans whilst you wait, as they will help you by talking so you aren’t alone - you must be very frightened. Is there anyone at all in real life that could come and be with you?

Thanks everyone. Sorry for late reply. Am under the CMHT. I’m seeing my new care coordinator tomorrow. It’s all a bit pointless.

I hope the new coordinator can help you quickly- don’t give up OP. They’ll find the right thing to help x

I recommend you start praying. Just open the Bible and read. Or if you're a different religion, start reading your Holy Book.

I went through such a difficult time a few months ago and it wasn't for God saving me, I don't know where I would be right now.

Praying for you!💙

Thanks. I’m not religious though.

I hope it goes well with your team today. Good luck 😊

It doesn't matter. You can read, can't you? You don't have to be religious to read the Bible. I'm a different religion and I still read the Bible because it's so encouraging and uplifting any time I'm feeling down or alone or lost.

Hi ninjahamster hope you’re doing a little better today . Did you see the care coordinator today ? Did it help at all. I take it your on medication.

I saw her today. They took me off all medication other than sertraline a few weeks ago. Meeting was pointless. They are not allowed to visit me at home as I’m deemed too dangerous. But they happily leave me in a house with my family when I’ve stated they are in danger.

So they have stopped your mood stabiliser. That doesn’t seem right …I would take myself to a and e if you feel your a danger to others

Done that. They told me to go back on antipsychotics, psychiatrist took me back off them.
