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

Hallucinations suck. I used to get up and stare at the place one was coming from until my brain accepted it wasn't real.

Thankfully mine mostly went away with better sleep and a hard line anti-supernatural worldview.

It's good that you have a doctor lined up! You just need to make it a few extra days to get there. Make sure to get plenty of sleep and take care of yourself (healthy food, exercise, get some air) in the meantime. You don't need to do this on hard mode.

Always remember, things that aren't real aren't real.
