Something’s not right

I'm a mess

I'm a mess

Title pretty much sums it up but for more detail:

I feel completely drained all the time but find it almost impossible to sleep but when I do sleep it feels impossible to wake up.

Last few months I've heard a constant ringing/buzzing and nothing makes it stop.

Voices are louder and it becomes increasingly difficult to recognise when someone is talking to me or if it's the voices.

Some of the voices are telling me to harm myself and it is becoming harder to ignore.

The last week I've been hallucinating or having visual delusions of a small black cartoon like octopus creature.

Hi @Twilightsomniac are these voices and hallucinations something that you've experienced before in some form, or is this completely new to you?

I'm wondering whether you've been able to talk to anyone else about what you're experiencing - any supports?

Hey @Twilightsomniac

That sounds tough. What kind of supports do you have in place? When I have significant sleep disturbance, voices and hallucinations that tends to be a warning sign that I am having some kind of psychotic episode, do you think that could be at issue here?

@Ru-bee & @Ainjoule

Voices aren't really a new thing as I have dissociative identity disorder, so I've had voices in my head for a really long time but these voices are different they aren't alters they're just voices.

The hallucinations are new Ive never had that before and I haven't exactly told anyone in my support system as I don't want to go to the hospital or be put on more meds. I have a sick 8.5 month old and my oldest is turning 12 tomorrow and I don't want to ruin it for him.

I do have a drs appointment Friday but I'm still not sure I'll mention it

So I decided that when I see the dr this morning I'm going to be honest but I'm still worried about what will happen

Hello @Twilightsomniac how are you? How did things go at the hospital? Are you and the kids OK?

I hope they were able to help, and that you're able to settle and sleep tonight.

Best wishes.
