Ok so im 19 aboug to be 20 next tuesdsy but anyway i was dianogsed with paranoia schizophrenia, ptsd, anxiety disorder, and major sever depression i rarely hear and see things sometimes. Also i get depressed sometimes but anyway im in college now and i take one course a month right now I'm taking fundamental of mathematics and its so boring my teacher is asian and she teach kind of at a slow pace so i just go with it. Im also asking my psychiatric to take me off my invega shot (jrlps with the hallucinations) but she said she thinks i need to be on it because its keeping me out the hospital and helping me stay focus. I told her i think one of the men who raped me is out to kill me she said its my schizophrenia messing with me i think hes out to kill me for real. Also i think that my psychiatric dont believe me when i said that someone is out to kill me i told my therapist that at the end of the day i am still going to feel the same way about the men who raped me what should i do?

First of all, do not stop any of your medications. You're on those for a reason. Your doctor is trying to do what's best for you, and she is speaking from a clearer and more unbiased perspective than you. About your fear, the best way to tell if this is real or a symptom of your schizophrenia is to tell your doctor exactly why you believe this. Give her any and all evidence you have, anything he's said or done, and be completely honest with her and don't hold anything back. If your reasons seem logical to her, she'll believe you, and you can proceed accordingly; if they don't, then maybe you can accept that it is your schizophrenia. In the meantime, take care of your safety. Lock your doors, don't go out alone, if he's threatened or contacted you, tell the police. But your doctor is there to help you sort what's from your disorder and what's real. Give her all the puzzle pieces and she'll do her best to put it together for you.

Girl22, This is a tough situation. Your Psychiatrist has addicted you to one or more drugs and now getting off them successfully will be tough. First of all, go look up whatever drugs you are on.and notice all the side effects. These drugs are addictive and harmful. Cold turkeying off them is a route to disaster. Please find another counselor who will help you come off these drugs on a slow gradient so you can free yourself one at a time or at least very gradually. Psychiatrists all work for the big pharmaceutical companies and really have given up trying to help people other than just trying to suppress their awareness of their issues with mind contracting drugs. It is stunning how many people they have addicted to drugs for little or no help. and they even give them to kids. Your current Psych is convinced you need drugs to live normally. This is only true once you become dependent on the drugs. But, it is reversible. You can regain control of your life. You are a spiritual being who can ;learn from their errors and do better the next time. Nutritional help would be a real positive as all drugs strip the body of various vitamins. If you could find a doctor who would help you come slowly off the drugs while building you up nutritionally, that would be great. Find a new Psych who isn't so drug dependent. Get your life back. All those categories you were labeled were only created to help the doctor decide what drugs you should be put on. They are a trap. The drugs just make you stupid and vulnerable. At best they lower your awareness of what your problems are and slow down (or speed up falsely) your reactions to life situations. Time to start becoming yourself again with competent help.
