Something’s not right

Completely Lost

Completely Lost

Hi sorry I have been away I was in hospital but it was not helpful at all and kind of made things a lot worse which I guess isn’t unexpected considering my previous experiences with that hospital.

Everything is too much I can’t even sit in my living room without feeling overwhelmed. I am still struggling to communicate I am trying I am but no one understands what I mean and then they think they do but they don’t and I feel like I am not speaking English to people anymore because they always say something weird or maybe I am not saying the words I think I am and something different is coming out. Either way people are still not understanding. I am trying so hard but I feel like any minute I am about to snap. I want to scream but I can’t I want to cry but I can’t I keep shaking cause I am scared all the time and I still can’t sleep and everything looks weird and feels weird and I am trying and no one is understanding me and I keep trying to “get help” before I can’t because I know soon I won’t be able to I can feel it coming again but worse than the last time and no one is understanding I feel trapped in my own body like I am screaming in there and no one can see or hear because outside I am sitting quietly and that is all they see. I am trying I just wanted 3 things only 3 and they aren’t big things only one is a little big but not something impossible just 3 things and I am trying so freaking hard to cling on in case I can still have them but I know deep down I won’t get them I know deep down I am fighting for nothing fighting just so that I can lose I know this and yet I am still clinging but I don’t know if I can’t let go because I don’t know how or because it is the only thing keeping me in this world keeping me attached to anything. 1 day isn’t a long time for most people but 5 minutes is long for me 5 minutes is me pacing unable to sit, 5 minutes is me wincing because they keep hurting me, 5 minutes is me biting my nails until the bleed and not even realizing until it hurts. I can’t keep waiting and I can’t keep standing where I am. Nothing I am doing is working so I can’t fix this myself but no one will help and no one understands.

But then what can I expect when this was all just a big trick a joke from the start I was never meant to be ok and they knew that do I go where they want and give up or are they having too much fun playing I am trying I try and make everyone else happy but I can’t and I try and I can’t even explain it here nothing I am so tired I am so freaking tired but not the kind of tired sleep or rest can fix.

I am just so stressed and anxious and everything is too much all the time. I am hearing things a lot and I am struggling to do even basic tasks this will sound super gross but I haven’t been able to clean my room in like 5 months I was meant to be studying to keep up with stuff and I haven’t done any of that even typing is getting difficult I keep muddling up the letters like if I was dyslexic except I am not and never was unless you can develop it randomly I keep running out of clean clothes because I can’t keep up with my washing, I can only manage to brush my teeth once a day, I feel like a horrible person because I am supposed to be doing more for my pets and honestly if it weren’t for my mother helping I would have had to give them up because I am not able to look after them properly which I hate and makes me feel so horrible because I love them so much and they deserve so so so much more and I feel like I am running their lives. But I pretty much can’t even look after myself and everyone on the outside seems to think I am fine because I look “ok” I seem like these things aren’t so hard and it isn’t a motivation or depression thing it is like I can’t organize my head around doing even small things. These things I type here take me so long everything takes me so so long. I feel like my mind is melting and I keep pacing and stopping in the middle of things and I am just struggling so so much and no one sees it even my parents don’t see the full extent no one does cause I hide it cause I am embarrassed and don’t have the energy to explain it to people. Plus I am scared they will realize and stop me from being able to do independent things altogether.

I feel like my worlds are melting together and I am so scared all the time because I genuinely don’t think anyone here is human and I also think everyone is trying to hurt me and that I am being watched constantly and that a group of deities is trying to make me do things so they can sacrifice me and eat my soul and I am so tired and everything looks wrong the walls move the ground moves, peoples faces change, even the shadow people look weird, everything is crumbling and I am trying so hard to keep looking normal but I nearly curled up in a ball and screamed in the Woolworths yesterday and it is even getting hard to keep up with a short conversation. I honestly don’t know what to do, the hospital won’t listen, the crisis team won’t listen, I can’t seem to make my psychiatrist understand even if he is trying it is too slow, my psychologist is still new and I am not sure if I can tell them and if they will understand because they already haven’t understood a few things and I am trying but I am not able to stop this and I don’t know how to fix this.

I am really sorry this this is so long. I guess I am not expecting anyone to know how to fix anything I just feel really lost and emotionally exhausted and I don’t even know what to do.

@Maggie Thank you

@Former-Member I have been trying to listen to music but i am still shaking and too scared to even have my phone with me in case it rings. I don’t want to deal with this I don’t understand why everyone is all worried now when I wasn’t feeling good no one cared but now when I finally feel like I know what to do everyone is freaking out.

Like @Former-Member mentioned good on you for trying to listen to music. Maybe you would like to wrap yourself up in a blanket or doona as well as I find it can be soothing.

I understand that you may think everyone is freaking out however they are trying to help you. You mentioned at the beginning that you didn't feel comfortable about taking medications. Would you be willing to give it a go? I have found medications to help settle me.

Hi @BarryHolden,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

My case ended in a crime scene with police involved. I never knew the culprit but there were many other victims dragged into the drama, one of which happened to be a close family friend of his mom. It was the culprit mom's who outed him.

The family was involved in spirituality of many types including kabbalah which they used to practice magic rituals. I have never heard of kabbalah until this and still have no courage to read it up. While I would never put down any religion, it's humans who always misuse or misinterpret it. But there's magic, witchcraft and tree of life in there. I saw the culprit praying to an image of the tree of life, then I was pushed in sitting position and pointing to him saying "witch" and he said he had given me 'something bad' and laughed mockingly. After I would have nightmares daily for 1.5 months, ending up with migraines, hearing voices, hallucinations and seizures etc. It would take me almost 3 years to piece things together. The information has always been there but I would just supress it as I wasn't ready to deal with it.

It's much better now as I am just healing through past traumas and getting my body physically fit again. The episodes ran for 2.5 years before police was eventually involved. I wouldn't go into details as it might trigger others.

I get better through being active outdoor and surrounding myself with kind and virtuous people. It helps with eliminating intrusive thoughts and restoring my faith in people again. It was a horrifying ordeal to be attacked randomly by some strangers. I could never understand why people could end up that way, but I was shown that it was through the family environment that shaped a person's character. They could only end up that way because that's all they were shown as they grew up and that's all they knew. If you were never shown kindness all your life and have to deal with rough people all the time, you can only behave similarly to protect yourself. But this is no excuse.

There are many people in this world, so even if those around you can't uphold virtues, do mix around with others outside of the norm social circle, one day you would find people who surprise you with their differing way of life and treat you kindly. I have met quite a few of such virtuous people and they could only treat others kindly because that's all they ever know too and they mix with friends of similar kind.

Hope you are okay too!

Hi @Eden1919 ,

I am glad you're feeling better. It takes a long while for me to get better too, but let's hope we all will fully recover! One tiny step at a time.

Re: Completely Lost

Hi @Eden1919 ,

You mentioned all the humans around you are all demons.

That reminds me of this Japanese Manga Fruitsbasket where the story is about a group of families who have been generation after generation always have 12 children who were born cursed and would turn into animals when they were weak, ill or hugged by the opposite gender. Anyway the main character Tohru chanced upon a few of the cursed ones but unlike others who would be put off when they turned into animals, she would instead kindly accept them as friends. Most of the cursed one would grow up either being rejected or overprotected by their own parents.This acceptance by an outsider eventually helped the cursed family members into self acceptance instead of self hatred and anger towards others.

Watch more here. Season 2 is still running but this is when Tohru and her 'cursed' friends worked together to break the curse so they can only be humans and no longer turn into animals.

Perhaps you can be like the main character Tohru and treat the humans/demons around you like she did towards her half humans and half animals friends? And maybe it will end similarly like in the show that those humans can only be humans and no longer be demons.

Just a thought, maybe it works, maybe not. But it's a truly heartwarming show.

Re: Completely Lost

@jem80 It isn’t if I want too or not it is complicated I just um idk I can’t explain it. I am trying to just watch tv but I am starting to get super anxious again.

So the crisis team left my house a little while ago and I am even more scared they said some stuff and now I am thinking that my psychiatrist wants me to take meds even if I don’t want too and that is why he wouldn’t answer my questions and why he kept saying weird stuff and now I am so scared and I am still shaking and I feel like I need to run away at the least I don’t know what to do.
