Hey @bartart23
I'm hearing that you aren't coping right now and you are having auditory and visual hallucinations is that correct? I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia so have had those experiences myself but mainly hearing voices. Have you used coping techniques in the past that might work for you now? Also, do you have medications you can take like a PRN to help ease your symptoms?
Are you alone right now or do you have people you trust close by?
I'm here to support you through this if you feel comfortable telling me more about what's going on for you.
Take care

Hey @bartart23 taking medications is a personal choice so it's fine that you don't and I understand the choice. I take medications but have supported many who chose not to and there are many reasons behind these choices.
It can be challenging for people when you are experiencing hallucinations and some people will push you away which is not helpful. People often don't know what to do or say so they choose to not do anything or treat you badly. You feel like your symptoms are escalating so what do you think you can do to prevent them from getting worse? If you are overwhelmed by your hallucinations you could go to the local hospital to the ED if you are comfortable with that?
Are you in a safe place right now?
Take care

Ok @bartart23 I understand how you feel about the hospital. Just know that there are good support services out there that can help you through this tough time. Try Googling a Safe Haven in your local area or here are some crisis support details if you want to talk to someone:
