I just drank International roast coffee. It tasted & felt like it had some feceal matter in it.
I have full blown paranoid schizophrenia. I understand that I see & hear things that aren real but my understanding of my condition leads me to believe that the poison/persecution of my food & drink IS real.

@poison Hi poison and welcome to the forums. I have schizoaffective disorder and I refuse to eat and drink outside my house. Even if I carry my food and drinks outside I will end up not eating or drinking because of my poison issues. I am funny about what people come into my house as well .... being hyper vigilant.
It is a problem .... don't know what the answer is to be honest just writing that you are not alone.greenpea
