paranoidschizophrenia

Dear all,

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia abroad and in the USA. I had to stay in the hospital for a significant amount of time. I have noticed that I have dread in my body and I am constantly fearful. I worry about authority figures and I hate the telepathy in my head at times. I have noticed that a quiet neighborhood is deafening and that all I want to do is paint. I think art therapy should be implemented for all who suffer from schizophrenia because it is so calming. I hope for a cure for schizophrenia one day. The days seem long, and I worry about being whisked off into prison. Irrational fears are constantly in my head. I worry about so much, and now, I'm so used to suppressing these emotions. I try to go on in life. What would you suggest for those who are going through paranoid feelings? One indication of paranoia is always believing in the ability of premonition. We cannot predict anything, but we keep doing it. How do you deal with paranoia? What are some therapies that have worked for you? Any vitamins? I am on Invega Sustenna. #Schizophrenia #paranoidschizophrenia

#SchizophreniaSpectrumPsychoticDisorders . I wonder if there is a group for paranoia on here. I wish I could better cope with the things I hear people say about me when I’m in public. Resperidone helps, but there is a lot of remaining delusions and auditory hallucinations that I can deal with when I’m feeling good, but make me angry sometimes when I’m surprised by them or I’m already tired or in a low mood. I am a very kind person and would never hurt anyone, but I’m hard on myself. I haven’t seen much on here about paranoia, but I would love to know how people can deal with this day in and day out. Dwight.
