Psychosis
What do you do when meds doesnt work against psychosis? I keep seeing spinning rooms and dark figures which i really hard to deal with and try to stay focused on reality.
Are there other things that might help than meds?
@Steve34
I'm really sorry you are struggling, that sounds scary.
If encourage you to talk to your doctor, and explain the medication is not doing its job and to talk through alternative things to help you through this 💚
Thank you yes it does is scary for me but I also dont want meds cause I dont want to feel gray and numb. Meds keep away the good images too. And my doctor is really pushing about taking my meds but Ill try to talk to her about other ideas.
@Steve34 Focusing on your breathing can help.
I’m sorry that you are experiencing this psychosis. I have a friend who has it severely. However and I’m NOT suggesting this as a treatment but they use ECT. I would suggest meditation and just deep breathing. Good luck and tell your doctor
Thank you and sorry to hear that for your friend and you but good that ECT works?thank you but just meditation and deep breathing doesnt does the trick for me I tried though I tried a lot of things and different kinds of meds but no.
I would definitely encourage you to speak with your doctor about any intrusive symptoms so that they may consider adjusting your medications.
One technique that might be helpful for you are grounding techniques - some people will put a sour candy in their mouth, others may hold onto an ice cube because the cold temperature can ground you.
