Coping

I just got home after spending almost the whole month of January in the hospital. What's been going on now is I don't hear voices as much, but I do have racing thoughts and delusions.


One of my closest friends once asked me, "Do you know when you're getting psychotic?" It gave me a little chuckle, but it's hard to explain paranoia and delusion to someone who's never experienced them.


I decided I would leave the hospital and try to cope with my symptoms on an outpatient basis. All I can do is pray that my caregivers at home will be able to cope as well.

I am sending you love and support. Living in the world of mental illness is no fun indeed, and our loved ones are just not equipped to understand. No one can understand unless they have experienced it or they are a mental health professional. Good luck and positive vibes on your journey :)

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
