Hi I was recently in hospital again and they started me on some new meds and I guess things were going ok until last night, I started getting really scared that my meds are actually poison and that satan is trying to hurt me and that the people around me are actually working for satan secretly. I have been on the meds for about a month and also last night and yesterday I was hearing things too like whispers and stuff. Um anyway the problem now is that I am really scared to take my meds and I don’t know what to do.
I am really struggling to take care of myself and I am not managing uni at all and I am just really struggling with everything at the moment I am trying really hard but nothing is working very well. plus i am in a lot of physical pain from something too and it is really draining on me i havent slept properly in over a week and i am so tired of being tired and tired of being in pain.

Re: Feeling scared
@Eden1919, I'm sorry to hear you're in pain and tired and tired of being tired and in pain. Have you tried telling your doctor about your pain and the lack of sleep? They should still take it seriously.
Uni isn't easy at the best of times - and now that you're scared of your meds and being drawn into spiritual warfare by Satan, it's not surprising that you're not managing uni at all and that nothing is working really well. Can you get your doctors to write you a note to withdraw from this session on compassionate grounds?

Re: Feeling scared
@Gwynn I have told a GP but there isnt much they can do about the pain. the situation with uni is complicated and i cant really afford to withdraw at the moment.
