Need opinions please

Hi i am sorry to ask this but i really dont know what to do and i need some help to decide as i am terrible at making desicions. um so i feel REALLY bad like i am not sure if i can make it through the night bad and i dont know what to do i have some medication which is supposed to calm me down but i am not supposed to take it because God says it will hurt me and that it is poison and that i am not allowed to have it. i dont even know if it will work if i did take it but i dont know i am really confused. plus i am scared that if it did make me sleepy or something i would not be as vigilant and then one of the demons would come through one of the portals and then they would hurt me and it is complicated. i am sorry i dont even know what i am trying to ask specifically i just dont know what to do.

Re: Need opinions please

Oh @Eden1919, I totally relate to what you're saying. I get similar thoughts when I'm not well.
I think you should take the medication.
I also think you should talk to your doctors about this. When do you see them next? I'd recommend seeing them as soon as possible so they know your dilemma. They should be able to help you sort out what you should do in situations like this.
Have you ever contacted the crisis team? They might be able to help?
Wishing you all the best and I hope tonight is okay, no matter what you decide to to.

Re: Need opinions please

I'm sorry that you're feeling like this @Eden1919.

My honest opinion is that I don't believe in demons, angels etc. and I believe that those sorts of external influences have no impact or bearing on my life or the life of anyone else. People may disagree with me or disagree with my saying so, but my opinion about what you're describing is that it sounds like magical thinking - a symptom of illness. It does sound scary and confusing and hard to deal with, and I get that it all seems very intense and real to you. I don't mean to diminish that at all.

From what you've posted though, it sounds like trying to resist your treatment team and keep them from interfering with the demon/god/devil stuff hasn't really been helping you to feel calm or safe or good. Am I right about that?

I think your treatment team want you to feel calm, safe and good. And I think that they would prescribe medication that would help you more than it would harm you.

@Eden1919
Have you managed to take the tablets that help to calm you? I also need to take 'calming type' medication when I get too overwhelmed to think clearly.
Sounds like yours was prescribed for you for a similar reason.
When you're not sure what to do, that's probably when you need to speak to your health team the most. To get them to help sort out what is real etc.
If you can't call your team tonight, can you call Lifeline or MensLine. They should be able to help you.

Re: Need opinions please

@Eden1919. You don't have to do this alone. We are here for you. But it sounds like this is the time you need to rely in your health team the most. By not taking your meds, you may be making yourself sicker.
Can you call your team and just ask them what they think about you taking these meds. It might be good to get a second opinion.
Let me know how you go.

Re: Need opinions please

I'd say...don't do it if you can't. If it is stressing you out to think about doing it. Don't do it. Scream!! yell it out and express what you think @Eden1919. If that is what is on your mind to not do it and you fear to do it. Don't do it. You have control of this. You can calm you mind down and not stress. Breathe...take control....breathe...and don't do anything you don't want to...

Re: Need opinions please

@Eden1919 after 5 minutes or when your breathing is slower. Ring your support network and offload. Getting thoughts out is so important for you. Your health team will direct you and assist you to 'ground' you and assist you to choose your options. You have total control 🙂 ...stay safe as it is all about you
