Psychotic symptoms and advice

[Ballerina123]

My psychotic symptoms are coming back.

Every time I leave the house I feel like the government are after my family and they are gonna kill them.
I'm hearing a voice telling me my dad will be harmed.
I feel panicky when I leave the house and have to take a lot of PRN.

I can't talk to my MH team about this. Dose anyone have any advice so it doesn't escalate?
I want to learn to manage this.

Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they arnt actually out to get you. Right?

Although that does hold some truth, it's more about the likelihood of the situation.

I think it's good that you can recognise that they are psychotic symptoms at the moment.

Why would you think the government would be after your family? Have they done anything wrong?

How come you can't talk to your MH team. It seems like they would be the best people to help you manage this before it gets out of hand.
That's what they are there for.

Well, as your symptoms get worse when you leave the house, it sounds like working on anxiety before going out might help. What is it about being outside that is anxiety provoking? If you can find out what is particularly triggering, there may be coping strategies to target this. For example, if it is being away from comforting items you could bring something from home out with you, if it is being around people you can try to go quieter routes, if it is the noise you can listen to headphone etc.

I would advise speaking to your MH team though. I'm sure they would be happy to support you and try prevent things from getting any worse.

Thanks that's good advice.

Originally I didn't want to tell my psych team because it will affect me going back to uni (occy health and stuff). But last night I started hallucinating and that's something I feel like i need to tell them because I can't deal with that alone. I don't know how to!
