Ask a friend who suffers from a form of psychosis?

You can't. And you shouldn't, it increases the progression of disease. Shit's gonna be worse. But if you have problems with side effects, you can always ask your psychiatrist to swap the medication. What do you take?

>You can't. And you shouldn't, it increases the progression of disease.
What makes you say this? Any personal experience?

I have no friends. I think that's why I suffer from it.

a doctor?

What kind of doctor? How do I make sure I get the medication when I see the doctor? I heard they don't give it out easily...

Get in gud with me. I have tons of it because I never take mine.

SoCal?

Go see a general practitioner explain your symptoms and conditions and shit

I've read that it does make you more prone to the early onset of many age related degenerative diseases. I know this stuff becauseI have scizoaffective.

Nah. If I were near though we could discuss a drop point and I'd just leave it in a bush somewhere for you to pick up.

>general practitioner
So... my regular doctor?
>I've read that it does make you more prone to the early onset of many age related degenerative diseases.

Well, I have 2 voices in my head that's constantly changing pitches to try to scare me
>i'm satan motherfucker
>you're satan
>motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker
>I'm FBI
>I'll shoot your face
>I'll stab you motherfucker
>I fucking hate you
>evil ________ (my job title)
>I hate this place I hate this place I hate this place I hate this place I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

nonstop
Basically it exists in me, and realizes it exists, and basically constantly tries to trick and scare me.

>So... my regular doctor?
Yeah, didn't know the term in english. Tell him your condition and he'll either refer you to a specialist or prescribe you something himself.

That's pretty fucked. My symptoms are only during manic episodes. Mainly externalized auditory hallucinations (people saying things other than what's actually being said), delusions of persecutions, murder, conspiracy, and some visual hallucinations like seeing images of people being executed in patchy grass patterns.

I actually called a hospital with psychiatrists, not my regular doctor.

They say there's some sort of a process.. so I'm trying to make sure I get the medication to get rid of it.
Oh yeah, I have fucked up images too but I heard that's just a part of psychosis. Yeah, it really only goes away when I'm talking to people, like interested engaging conversation. Then right after the voices are like
>NEVER TALK TO PEOPLE
>MOTHERFUCKER YOU TALK TOO MUCH

Can you make the voices your bitch? Like with willpower? Or do they gnaw so much that it breaks you down?

Med student here, freshly after psych exam.
It's contrariwise, I didn't get you at the first time. Generally, the sooner you start the therapy, the slower will the disease progress. And then you SHOULDN'T stop the therapy bc the symptoms and the recurrence will get worse. You should go for a visit to the psychiatrist asap if you hear voices, there won't be a problem with prescribing you pills.
When it started?

>Can you make the voices your bitch? Like with willpower?
Yeah, I can "override" what they're saying so I can make them say stuff... which becomes easier if I type it out and "make them read" it by concentrating on it so I can train them into saying certain phrases. Because they're basically into impulse phrases

However, it can keep repeating shit over and over and I pretty much stop caring about it while it just keeps going..
>evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker evil fucker i'm satan motherfucker i hate this i actually hate this i hate this place i hate you i'm satan you stupid motherfucker i'm just toying with you motherfucker

But it's been 8 months since the onset of symptoms... so honestly I'm exhausted of its hatred and stupidity.

>When it started?
May last year.

Do you connect the beginning of it with something? Did you smoke weed for example, or experience sth traumatic? How old are you?

That's good that you can override it a bit. It almost sounds like it echos subconscious thoughts. I wonder if you began learning a new language, whether it would echo certain new words and shit, helping you to learn the new language?

Just curious if you put positive energy towards learning something like a new language that potentially had a positive impact on your mood, the subconscious thoughts would become more positive, and even potentially aid you in learning.

Might be worth a try but I don't really know all that neuro/chemical side of things relating to the voices.

Late late 20s.
I abused robitussin (DXM) before and developed SSRI syndrome or whatever it is where you hear tinnitis-like ringing sounds in your brain.

Then I read that they might be little seizures because of some serotonin problem.. and read that CBD(weed) was good for it. So I got my medical marijuana card and started smoking a shitload for a while. After switching to shatter (80-90% THC), I started hearing the voices but I was under the delusion that I wasn't crazy for about 2 months and believed in the voices. Then I pretty much realized that I was experiencing psychosis and waited for a while for the 6+ months.

The bad thing is that if I don't sleep, the ringing actually gets combined with the voices and my eardrums start moving along with the ringing.
Well nah I've been trying to co-exist with it, I've tried praying for it, eat tasty foods, watch funny things, but no it's just been constant threats and hatred for me because it can't control the body. No change, just more threats.

That leads me to another question on an opposing route. What if you got really into death metal and the likes, where there's a shit ton of satanistic lyrics, curses, etc. Wonder if you could subconsciously bridge an association between your voices and death metal, to de-personalize it on some level?

it's not hard if you have access to a doctor.

I've never taken it, but I've had multiple doctors try to put me on anti-psychotics. The last time they tried was because I went in there for insomnia, and they refused to try anything besides prescribe anti-psychotics.

I'm not going to read the whole thread.

Why do you want them?

I can assure you there is no recreational value

Were they regular doctors of psychiatrists?

I already called a hospital, they said I needed to wait but go through a screening process.
>What if you got really into death metal and the likes, where there's a shit ton of satanistic lyrics, curses, etc. Wonder if you could subconsciously bridge an association between your voices and death metal, to de-personalize it on some level?
Eh... I've already disassociated it with myself. Usually I'm bored of what it's saying, but it's making it hard for me to study new things or sleep.
Here's some posts of mine to get the idea. Not trying to trip off them. I'm done with tripping from substance abuse.

I only hear my own voice, but it constantly yells like this... I drink and smoke a lot to try and drown it out, or listen to excessively loud music, or whatever I can do to shut it up.
It's not cray shit like the FBI is after me. Just about how evil the world is, how much I hate the world, how much I hate myself, etc...

I don't think I'm psychotic, or crazy. Just had an overwhelmingly shitty life that wont allow me to ignore how terrible this world is.

it might be early onset if you're younger than 30 years old.. be careful with alcohol and weed

first was psychiatrist second was regular doctor.

If you go to a doctor and describe your symptoms they should put you on antipsychotics right away. Because there is essentially no recreational value for these drugs it is not difficult to get the prescribed.

If I were you I wouldn't be worried about being able to get a prescription for the meds you need. I would be more worried about getting institutionalized. Just be careful in talking to the docs and make sure you make clear you aren't a danger to yourself or anyone else.

Lol FBI. I wish that were the type of cray delusions I got. Mine are of my own family, friends, and every stranger around me all conspiring to elaborately catch me out of my comfort zone (far away from home), to seclude me, sedate me somehow, or sneak up and shoot me inside a bathroom stall, poison my food, or lure me to some event where I'll be gutted alive like a pig and fed to the guests for a higher society occult like dinner.

weed is the best thing in my life.

I'm only twenty five, and I need to cut back on the booze a lot, but I'd probably be dead if it weren't for weed.

I used to think a lot like that when I was a child. I thought everything was a conspiracy about me, anything good happening was just a trick to lower my guard for when the bad would truly start.

I grew out of that though, now my craziness is grounded in reality.

Hope I grow out of it also. When out of state if it happens, it's catastrophic to my mental state. Fight of flight adrenaline gushing non stop until I get home.

also it sounds like you truly need these meds.

Please don't keep delaying going to get them. You can somewhat handle things now, but who knows when that might change.

Try to get a handle on it while you still can. It truly shouldn't be difficult to get a doctor to prescribe some.

Med Student 2 here, before psych exam, but in a Psychiatric Research Group, and in fact, you should go to a general practitioner, and treat the symptoms as nothing more than a diseases caused by malfunctioning neurons. Explain to the doctor exactly what you are experiencing and they'll give you a referral to a Psychiatrist.

youtu.be/hZ6G4qIdQu4

just realize you aren't that important. No one actually cares about you that much. Seriously no one gives a shit about you, why the hell would they care so much as to design their whole lives around tricking you.

That's how I stopped it.

Don't trust Big Pharma.

Don't do it user.
Schizophrenia is the one thing that has kept me extremely amused and happy throughout my life.
It's like the ultimate depression repellent. Like garlic to a vampire.

Don't give up your gift.

That's why I'm glad I'm not famous. But even when I have the psychosis and delusions, and I feel targeted by this conspiracy. I believe it's a wide spread conspiracy targeting perceived society failures like. I'll see what I believe is body bags everywhere, of other people who got killed. Every time I start winding down from it, I feel like I somehow managed to escape some "killing game wave" that took place on a mass scale, not just involving me but many others who were more or less, purged.

Weed is known for causing schizophrenia, I spoke with patient who puffed one blunt and developed psychosis. But probably because he was genetically predisposed.
Although I don't think you have schizophrenia. There are a lot of other criteria, you don't seem to meet those. Also, if you are aware of the voices you're hearing, it's not defined as hallucinations, but psychosensory disorders (I believe you call them that in English).

That's my case as well. Or rather, I had mild psychosis just before I smoked my first hit of weed, which exacerbated it. Now going 8 years since I developed the disease.

I like your outlook. True enough, life is more interesting, albeit more horrific at times.

Sorry, but apparently mine just won't change..

like I said I don't hear voices. I'm not that kind of crazy. I just hear my own voice, and I can't always control it. When I'm stressed my inner voice has such hatred for everything. Myself, loved ones, the world just everything. I used to be a horrible insomniac because it/I would never shut up and let me sleep. Weed is the only thing that brings that voice into check. I mean sometimes the weed is not enough either, but it allows me to get through the majority of my days mostly crazy free.

Without it the hatred becomes constant and entirely overwhelming.

I have only experienced hallucinations once and that was in a very very cray time in my life. people around me kept turning into a couple of specific people. That was such a rough time I think a healthy person would have hallucinated though.

I have dabbled with shrooms and acid. I actually have an extremely high tolerance to hallucinogens and it takes doses that would completely dissociate most people from reality to give me minor hallucinations.

OP. IDK i you are still hanging out in this thread, but I hope this inspired you to go seek the help you need.

I genuinely hope you get better Sup Forumsro

Actually I made this thread while waiting for a screening process after calling a mental health line to find a psychiatrist.
I've got my appointment but it sounds like they're willing to provide me with the medication based on my screening.

Thanks man. It does suck having voices stuck in your head that's trying to trick and scare you because it's angry that it's stuck in a body it can't control.

again I want to warn you about being institutionalized.
I have been institutionalized before. Some doctors have a very itchy trigger finger when it comes to institutionalization especially for things like hearing voices.

Do not give any indication that you are a danger to yourself or others unless you want to be locked in a psych ward.

and good luck OP.
glad you are taking the right steps :]

>weed is the best thing in my life.

Yeah, same thing here.
But now I can't even relax on weed because of the voices get louder.

I mean damn.. steak quesarito and mt dew baja blast freeze with some top shelf indicas?

That was a fun life. I loved those recycler rigs with perc tree so you could see the smoke fill up.. but like I said if you're not 30 yet there's still a chance.

but it has something to do with the dopamine receptors that gets changed with tons of dopamine release
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC33999/

They say the THC content of weed is waaaaaaaay higher now than the 70s. and I was smoking shatter so it's waaay higher. But apparently it's still only like 1% of the population that gets it. Which is still a shit load if you're looking at 7.6 billion people.
Thanks dude, I actually knew this guy from BJJ who was institutionalized because of his dad and weed. He talked about his experience. That's why I was so afraid of being diagnosed before.
Thanks
