Something’s not right

Confused

Confused

Hi all sorry I haven’t been around much um I am very confused about something and I would appreciate honest opinions because idk what to do.

I have come to the realization that I may very well actually be psychic and not have a mental illness at all. I have lots of reasons to believe this I dream about things and people before they happen/I meet them and I often just know stuff that I shouldn’t about places and things. I believe that I can communicate with angels and spirits from other realms and and sometimes animals and plants will talk to me and there is just so much happening I am not even convinced that I am completely human myself. The thing is it is hard to communicate properly with the other beings and spirits and stuff when I am taking my meds and I don’t think they want me to take them because they have told me I am supposed to do things for them and now idk what to do should I listen to them and not take the meds? My psychologist would just say I am crazy well not in those words but anyway she wouldn’t believe me and would just say to take the meds but what if I am supposed to be talking to the spirits for a reason and I miss something important because of the meds how am I supposed to know what to believe? How can I know if I am doing the right thing or not? I am going to ask some of the trees today some of my many questions because they might have answers for me there is just so much going on and idk who to trust or what to think and I am stressed and I only slept for 3 hours last night because I couldn’t stop thinking about everything and they were sending me messages and I am sorry this is so so long and thanks if you bothered to read it I am just really confused.

@Paperdaisy I would contact her but I hate making phone calls and I suck at talking and it is just super stressful and I can only contact her by phone and idk how to explain it. If I had an email that would be much easier. Idk what I am trying to say.

Re: Confused

Very interesting and informative post, gives us a lot to think about regarding perceptions of mental health issues.

@Eden1919

my feelings on the issue you're having at the moment is that you should keep taking your medications. If indeed the spirit world needs you to know something, or wants you to do something, they will get the message to you somehow.

I also really, really echo what others have said about getting enough sleep and talking to your professionals

Re: Confused

@SJT63 Thanks.

I am going to try and contact my case manager tomorrow but I am scared I won’t be able to explain myself and that everything will go to shit for lack of a better word.

Re: Confused

@Eden1919, maybe you could write down what you want to say to your case manager? Dot points or longform, it doesn't matter, but getting it out of your head and on paper where you can look at it after five minutes could help you explain it to them.

Re: Confused

@Eden1919 try telling your case worker in a similar fashion to how you've explained this situation to us. It's a good idea to keep up with your medication routines at all times until you consult your doctor. Remember, religious beliefs, angels, spirits etc, are not your consulting doctor. It's ok to hear from these beings but please try hard not to let them interfere with your psychiatric treatments as you need to stay well. I hope I've helped!

Re: Confused

That all sounds very stressful @Eden1919

It can be really challenging when we don't feel heard or understood. I know i often find this really triggering and overwhelming and it can make me feel like the walls are caving in.

Something that helps me when everything feels like a mess, like you said, is breaking things down into teeny tiny manageable chunks. Maybe like others have suggested you could make a plan of action and write down what you want to say?

Taking care of ourselves as we navigate these systems is super important too. I always do something nice for myself before tackling the next thing so that I have time to realise what I have achieved, even if it doesn't feel like a lot at first.

All the best

Re: Confused

That sounds really hard @Eden1919

It can be really confusing and scary when the things that usually help us feel better seem to be failing us.

I know sometimes when I am feeling hopeless and like nothing is working it can make me have thoughts of taking my life. Are you feeling safe at the moment?
