its weird for me lately. i been not having as many hallucinations as i have had lately. this past week esp.. i dont know what to do, i feel kindof lost like i want them back but, i just fear them coming back does that make sense? i mean i have them just not as much and its like there is a void a quietness to me. i still have other problems just everything is calm at the moment and its been months for this to happen and im not sure how to deal with it, any advice?

I felt similar when my hallucinations calmed down. I distracted my mind. I know that sounds like something a psychiatrist or nurse would advise you to do, not knowing what it's like, but it really helped me. I got a course in Safeguarding children to do at home. I also started reading more and let my creativity and imagination become active in a positive way. It was hard though because my meds have dulled my personality and made me less creative but I managed it and now I am doing just fine. It is normal to fear them coming back, too. I guess we have to all stay as positive as we can. As hard as it may be at times.
Argh sorry... I am reading back and cringing... I believe in everything I've written but I don't have a way with words.
Hope I helped at least a tiny bit.

it is sometimes hard to get used to being "normal" if you know what i mean. i went through this when i was first dx with bipolar with psychosis being on meds was weird, but my dr told me this is what everyone else feels like. now i am not hallucinating (very much anyway) & I feel much better. HUGS to you

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
