I saw my psychiatrist yesterday he said i have to see him again today and he gave me some extra meds to take he made me promise to take them. i did take them but i am really scared he is working for the bad people who are watching me and trapped me here and that the meds are going to hurt me. i dont know if i should tell him the stuff i didnt say yesterday because if he is working for them then i cant trust him. plus even if he isnt he wont believe me because they would be in control of him anyway. i am really worried and something bad is going to happen something really bad and i need to get back to the real world soon or my real family is going to get hurt cause the evil people took them. i dont know what to do i shouldnt have taken the meds i have ruined everything this is all my fault now they are going to get hurt because of me i cant trust any of them i want to cry.

Hi @Eden1919,
I cant imagine how frightening it must be for you right, to be feeling that you are stuck in a fake world, and that even those who are helping you, like your psychiatrist could be 'working for bad people'. It must be hard to know where to turn right now. We would like to support you if we can. If you would like to talk to someone here at the helpcentre, you can call 1800 18 7263 or jump on webchat if you preffer to type.

@Eden1919I am glad you are still around and posting, seeing your doctor and taking your meds. Feeling acute fear is so hard that the most important thing is to bring it down to a level that is bearable.
Then it might be possible to work on your issues.
I think people's input here has been good. I hope it helps you feel less alone and start to collect some tips on how to manage things.
Just a picture of a White Knight for a distraction.

Hi @Eden1919 Glad you are doing your best to manage life.
Trust is very difficult for me and can happen on levels. People on the forums have talked about Sensitivity and the problems and positives we experience. eg being able to be gentle or empathise with another ... picking up all the bad stuff floating around in the ether.
Good and bad is often spread out between lots of different people and we can pick up and sense it in those around us.
What is truthful and what is fake is similar. A bit here and there and most of us have aspects that are far from perfect.
I am wary of medication but have had to accept it as the best approach to minimise harm. You are right it is not the whole answer. Part of it is to work through things like your Hierarchy of Needs. Food, and shelter and then work from there to social safety.
Take care
