Parnaoia Getting Worse

[gordie1]

I at the moment cant go home Im haviong to get my parent s to pick me up from 25 miles away and take me home. I wantt to go and see an out of hours psychiatrist but my parents are against this and think i should face the issue. I am still really paranoid that someone is going to come and get me

[jd_1984]

Who is going to get you? What are they going to do? And why are they coming for you?

[vakayu]

Can you not phone your counsellor?

[echokilo]

Think you need to go and see your GP immediately

[EcclesCake]

Is this your neighbours that you are worried about? If so I am quite sure they have forgotten the incident.

I hope your parents help you through this episode.

[gordie1]

My parents picked me up and went and apoligised to the neighbour on my behalf and he said not to worry about it and he said it would all be forgotten about. My father explained that I was having a diabetic hypo? Anxiety and that I was really sorry. It was quite an insignificant incident and I have blown it out of proportion because of anxiety the anxious thoughts are coming in and telling me my father hasnt really been or this will make matters worse so I have written those opposing thoughts down and ripped them up.

[vakayu]

You are sounding much calmer now,As you say the incident is resolved and now behind you,so chin up and move on.

[Old_Geezer]

Surely seeing a psychiatrist IS facing the issue ?
If this is true then you ought to see someone. Did you speak to your GP ?

[Baldric]

Gordie, we spoke a few days ago, it sounds to me like a reaction to new meds, speak to your Doc ASAP, or get to an A & E if you can, you need to be checked over.

Have you been taking any unprescribed/recreational drugs , gordie?

If you have, you've got to stop them.

Do you have a CPN that you can get in touch with. He/she would be able to listen to you and help you decide what to do.

Paranoia is something that can get really bad unless you do something about it. Is your current mental state a state that you have been in before or has something new triggered it off.

I am diabetic too and have been advised that I don't need to check my blood sugar levels as the blood tests that I get every three months give a better picture of how thing are.

Go to your doctor - he/she may refer you to the psychiatrist as an emergency appointment. I was once seen by the psychiatrist on the same day that I went to the GP.

Sometimes, when my mental health is bad, I can work through it myself (with a little help from Lithium and Setraline) but it takes a long time.

It sounds like you need some professional help - drugs or counselling.

Mental Health problems are badly understood by those who do not suffer from them. I survive on a day to day basis but feel safer if I don't leave the house. This has prevented me from visiting my lovely brother and his family for too many years. A trip to the vets or Tesco is as far as I get.

Paranoia is horrible - it is very destructive frame of mind.

I hope that you manage to get control of your brain back.

Gordie, at least you are recognising it for what it is, and thank goodness you have your parents to help you. Go and see the doc, don't hang about, explain the symptoms you have been having since you went on the new medication - there may be something the doc can do about it. Don't suffer - you need to keep the GP informed. Nobody's out to get you, this is a side-effect and it's been addressed, so you can be comfortable about that now. xxx to the kitten - you need to go home to look after Kitty!

Off to take mum a cuppa in bed...speak later..be good and have a great day..you really are a great bunch of peeps ! Xxx

[murraymints]

Sorry thread must have slipped as I selected....hope you feel brighter soon gordie xx

[ladyalex]

But are you taking any unprescribed/recreational drugs ?

[gordie1]

No unprescribed or recreational drugs never have taken any :)

[ladyalex]

Thank goodness for that.

Hope you are feeling a bit better by now.

[gordie1]

Still feeling really edgy but staying in and going out and coming back to the flat and even putting the lights on for a bit at a time. I went to see my GP and he wants me to take citalopram.

My Dad suffers from psychosis and paranoia. He has citalopram. They really help him. He was formerly on Haloperadol. They were not as effective. Try the citolopram as the GP suggests.
