Stress + schizophrenia = @!?#@!

[Steel Maiden]

I have been under immense pressure lately from things happening in this supported housing. The carer is a ****, the other residents are really annoying and everyone here is putting high social demands on me. And now today the faulty electrics caused a small fire.

I have insight now into my hallucinations, but I can feel myself slipping away from that. I feel the same way I felt a week before I last got sectioned by the police.

I keep thinking of severe self harm / suicide.

Two days ago I had a massive meltdown which turned into a seizure; I busted up my knuckles, accidentally drew blood, and I must have banged my head because I am mildly concussed.

I cannot cope with living here, yet immediately I have nowhere else to go.

I keep having nonverbal episodes and I've been pacing a lot.

I am worried that I will fall into a world of delusions and loss of insight again. That got me sectioned last time.

Practical advice?

hey Oly,

Have you tried getting in touch with your psych or CC?
Maybe they could have a look at some PRNor something to get you through this difficult patch.

It's really good that you are recognising it early :)

Thanks Beckie.

I took extra olanzapine today but it didn't help. Really I need to move out of this sodding supported housing.

I will call my CC tomorrow
