Hey is anyone free to chat I am really not coping right now I am having bad hallucinations and voices I just wanna cry (safe) 

[RiverSeal]

Hey @bartart23 

I'm hearing that you aren't coping right now and you are having auditory and visual hallucinations is that correct? I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia so have had those experiences myself but mainly hearing voices. Have you used coping techniques in the past that might work for you now? Also, do you have medications you can take like a PRN to help ease your symptoms?

Are you alone right now or do you have people you trust close by?

I'm here to support you through this if you feel comfortable telling me more about what's going on for you.

Take care

Hey @RiverSeal  no I don't take medication I stopped it months ago when I got out of the psych ward I was in the psych ward 2 weeks ago the doctor wanted me on meds I said no because of reasons  also yes I am alone  but hearing and seeing is just getting bad day by day I have tired everything nothing works anymore I am just a sad little person and yes I have asked for help nobody wants to help me so I may of had enough of asking it's fine sorry to annoy everyone 

[RiverSeal]

Hey @bartart23 taking medications is a personal choice so it's fine that you don't and I understand the choice. I take medications but have supported many who chose not to and there are many reasons behind these choices.

It can be challenging for people when you are experiencing hallucinations and some people will push you away which is not helpful. People often don't know what to do or say so they choose to not do anything or treat you badly.  You feel like your symptoms are escalating so what do you think you can do to prevent them from getting worse? If you are overwhelmed by your hallucinations you could go to the local hospital to the ED if you are comfortable with that?

Are you in a safe place right now?

Take care
