Im schizophrenic, and I feel like Im getting unstable ( Im not in any immediate danger). Im seeing my doctor on Tuesday and weighing my options. I have problems—some real and probably some imagined.

I would consider myself usually stable and functioning but im aware things can get really bad.

I had some really fucking bad phases in the past.

I wish I could just tough it out, but I can see how my mental state is slowly weakening, so I feel like I need to reach out.

I hope this type of thread is allowed here doggirl-gloom

EDIT : Thanks for all the input and answers

Hope you're doing okay, my cousin lives with schizophrenia and he has had some bad stuff go down in the past because. It's good you're aware your symptoms might be worsening/having an "episode".

I've had auditory hallucinations in the past, but I think those were more related to trauma and being in an adjacent situation. I acted out on them and when everyone else was like "wtf are you talking about, nobody was shouting", so I hope I can relate in some way.
