Schizophrenia and not coping

[Phoenix80]

Hi there every body. Only the second time I have been on here. Really struggling with reality at the moment and keep thinking I am in a simulation and I have to hurt my parents to reset the Sim. Any one else deal with similar and how did you get through. It is really scary and sometimes I wake up and I have lost time and can't remember the night before it is terrifying me.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hi @Phoenix80 , do you have a relapse prevention plan? If so, it might be worth putting into action now. A @Former-Member should be along shortly to explain the helplines you can call for assistance.

Hi there @Phoenix80,

Thank you for sharing your story here. It is not always easy to talk about these things and I hope that you can find some good support here on the Forums today. 

Of course, if you are concerned about your safety or the wellbeing of others, please do not hesitate to phone 000 if it is an emergency, or a service such as Lifeline (13 11 14).

I will also encourage you to reach out to the SANE team between 10am-10pm Monday-Friday if you would like some support during the week.

Take good care of yourself - I hope you continue to reach out ❤️ 

Kind regards

hello @Phoenix80 

I hope you have managed to gett through to someone on the phone lines.

I often think of the phoenix metaphor as helpful. I also have difficulties with elapsed time.  Sometimes youtubes about psychology can help us understand our own position in life, steps to move forward and give us a sense of reality checking.  Separating from our parents can be a difficult psychological task, especially if we have a disability.

@Phoenix80 - is anything else going on that's stressful? Just wondering if you'd want to talk about it if so.

@Phoenix80  I have had something similar happen to me I am not really sure how to deal with it to be honest but i can relate and i am sorry you are going through that it is really scary.
