Limerence psychosis
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by practicalblueberry
Last post
 June 21st
...See more I'm experiencing limerence with a grocery store employee I met a few months ago when they helped me at the store. My thoughts are consumed with them, obsessing about an imaginary relationship that does not exist. I go to the store every time I work and I go to be near them and in their presence which fuels the limerence even more. It blurs the line between a crush and a full blown obsession. This has happened to me before with people in the past and it eventually breaks when I come out of the psychosis. Does anyone else experience this? It's completely involuntary and feels like an addiction. I feel alone and ashamed of my thoughts, it makes me feel powerless.

Schizoaffective: My story

 August 14th, 2025
...See more After recentlly being diagnosed with schizoaffective dissorder and after being on medication for over a month now, I've come to allot of realizations that the things I was and still am experiencing are not real. My most difficult symptom is that I always feel like I am being watched or that people are out to get me. I get super distressed and strongly believe people in my life have planted video cameras in my personal belongings and are recording me and/or stalking me, planning to hurt me ect... it gets dark and makes me have panic attacks, the kind that make you hyperventilate. 😞😓 The medication is helping allot and my symptoms are improving every day but I had a difficult day today and wanted to share my story and thoughts. Thank you in advance for any and all support 🙏💕

Post binge

...See more I binged yesterday and felt such a loss of control. I feel like my current financial stress triggered it. I feel so slow and full today, it makes me feel weird and secretive. I joined this community to hopefully learn some better coping skills for when I relapse. How do you all cope the next day after a binge? I'm trying to be more gentle with myself, but the nature of this condition is so self destructive and takes hold on my thoughts. It's so tough and difficult to stop once I start. Sending everyone hugs who experiences this.

DV/SA survivor / DV in my apartment building / trigger warning ⚠️
Trauma Support / by practicalblueberry
Last post
 February 28th, 2025
...See more I am a DV survivor and endured abuse of all kinds from an ex in 2015. I am now engaged to a wonderful man who makes me feel safe and loved. We live in an apartment building and the tenants downstairs unit directly below us are a couple. They fight all hours of the night and I can hear them beating up on eachother. This has been triggering for me and I'm at a loss of what to do. The walls are paper thin and I worry they would hear me if I call the cops. Other people in the building have called the cops multiple times and nothing happens or is resolved. The property manager is aware and does not care. I have tried wearing headphones but i can still hear the slamming and feel the vibrations even in my ned trying to sleep. I could use some support and tips on how to cope with DV happening in your building. It gets triggering because my ex in 2015 SA me and robbed me and stole my concert tickets to my favorite artist. I have done so much to heal and am now in a loving and happy relationship with the man I'm going to marry. We moved here in November and otherwise love our apartment. Most research I have done says to not get involved because they could get violent with you if they find out it was you. We cant afford to move out and im really unsure of what else I can do or how to cope. Thank you in advance for the support!!!
