Events are Increasing Screamies

Events are Increasing Screamies

Screamies is what I call it, the sound that kinda goes off internally makes everything hard to think I can't stop it I can breath it out and hope it gives my mind a rest but it's been increasing I've had one nearly everyday for the past week and that's not good it's normally a sign of ramping up and I don't know what to do. I know what things are causing it, it's events beyond my control happening to my community and it's painful. I'm just a bit worried one wrong conversation could be an issue, I feel like I need to have my psychosis to get on with things but I know that's not what's really going to help me.

Hey @Trickster it sounds like these screamies are feeling really difficult to manage at the moment. I know that it's really difficult when we're struggling with things that are outside of our control, but I'm wondering if there's anything that has helped in the past when things have been ramping up for you?

Mostly just turning fans off, meditation, blocking out noises that are worsening things like overstimulation on top of an already overworked mind.

@JynxI'm not good but I'm like walking a line you know keeping mental health in check during these times you gotta stay on that line and so I know I'm ok because I'm on it I'm doing all the things, checking in with the people, got a lot of support, talking to my partner about my feelings cause I'm scared with things the way they are. Got appointments coming up with psychology got debriefs with Volenteering job before I go back I might not be approved and that's ok I know how bad it is right now for myself I wanna help but not at the detriment to others like myself. I have support in my LGBTQIA+ community too and that was so uplifting.

Oh I know the line very well @Trickster it can be tricky hey! But I've noticed as I go I get better and better at being able to see it, and see signs I'm wavering or teetering too close to falling off.

Glad to hear you got lots of support and stuff, especially from the queer community! Makes such a difference hey 😊💜
