It is distressing. I find it difficult to relax. I have not been able to read for leisure, for a long time.

I am going to ask my doc to be signed off work. I need some time to focus on my mental well being

That sound good to talk to your doctor so you can get sometime just for yourself. Hope you'll be okay.

You come before work. If asking your doctor that you need to focus on your mental well being for awhile then I think it could be helpful.

Yes, I have worked this job over 4 years, and taken minimal sick days. Actually I resigned because they were not giving me credit, and I ran out of patience. I want to get signed off my remaining notice period. I have no motivation to work & I want to regain my health.

What do you mean by the word ‘private’ in this context?

Recognising that you need help and seeking it are big steps. You got this.

When the hallucinations are overwhelming I try to spite them by making progress in life.

I can’t relax & be at peace when hallucinating but I can work.

i write or work on my home. My flat is my art project, and I want it to be a beautiful sanctuary.

I will also work in the garden to attract nature spirits

It feels that certain folk are deliberately trying to mentally harass me. I don’t understand such a behaviour in a grown adult?

Really.

I do experience psychic activity. Sometimes I get spooked & even scared. But yes it has happened multiple times. There is a phenomenon called synchronicity which happens to the psychotic which is similar

I just have this intense feeling of mental harassment. I have some voices which are loud & blatant.
