It's pretty hard to reason w someone with paranoia and hallucinations, the basics of this illness is that when we are In the throes of psychosis we do not think we are ill, aka have zero or minimal insight. Of course that can be helped, but for most in the early stages they are unable to see that what they are experiencing isnt real, and trying to tell them so might just make them angry, defensive, more paranoid, and more isolative

Gently letting him know you're here , if he wants to talk, not showing judgement, fear, uncomfortableness, or trying to reason him out of it. For me it helps to rant abt my thoughts and not have someone try to offer solutions . .sometimes we just wanna b heard and not waved off as a lunatic

With that said some people just dont respond to any attempts to help them. And it is truly very sad.

Morning

I'm up having coffee.

This sleeping during the day (I think due to the geodon) is messing up my sleep schedule a bit.

Drank a coffee at like 2am and it really helped me with my fatigue when the vyvanse didn't. Caffeine only seems to work for me when I'm fatigued, not tired.

Now im wide awake at 6:20am and I cant sleep in the day so I'll take some benzo when I get home, close the blinds, maybe wrap a tshirt around my head, put wet tissues in my ears for earplugs and then sleep..

I'll be like a mummified zombie

Put a paper towel over the air flow holes and lift your head way up and blow into the mouthpiece.

I already went back to cigs. But I've stopped again. Messed up my 5 or 6 years of being cig free. I dont have any money right now for a new one unfortunately.

Did you start a new med in the past few days? Maybe you just needed to get a lot of sleep.

It's ok. I will probably just save up for a couple of months. My birthday is in 2 months anyway.

I probably feel some sort of way about this, which I why I keep telling you guys this...

But I texted my sister a week ago and she never replied. I told my mom she never answers her phone or texts. My mom tried to put the blame on me because she said something about their recent phone problem. But I told her it's been this way with my sister for 5 or 6 years now.

And I found out today from my mom, that my sis is going on vacation yet again. To cali. I dont even care that much anymore. I really dont. She hasn't been on fb or Instagram either for months. I think it's because her and her husband started a new business. Well 2. One running a brick and mortar clinic. And another wholesaling houses. Plus they have a 3 year old.

Yes I could think "she must just be busy". And I'm sure it's part of that, but how are they communicating still with their closest friends and family? They must be still.

So I just figured I'm not high or even on the priority list of my sister.

Yes it sucks. I dont understand how my sister, or anyone really, that claims to be close to me, can travel the world and keep up with their own friends, but not me. Considering if they see me as close to them, whether friends or family.

I keep my family as close as I can. Or I have tried. And friends too, who have since come and gone. People say I'm clingy. Thing is, yes I am, but only to those I care I about, like my parents, sister, fiance, and the 2 friends I have. I only have 1 friends now as the other cut me off.

I'm huge on family. Most people arent seems like. In the past few years I've had to cut off family or so called friends when I learned that they didnt not respect my decision to keep in touch with them weekly or monthly.

My mom and dad are the only people I call daily. For a reason, I love them. Everyone else I try to keep in touch weekly with them. A few people monthly.

I'm getting to the point that I almost wanna cut myself off from society again like i did when i was sick.

That's good! If I still had a bank account I'd help you out, but I only have my cash account here and no way to get to Western Union or something.

That's good. Sometimes it seems like we're just a chemistry experiment. Maybe you reached some point of saturation. I wish I still had benzos and Vicodin. :/
