When will I snap out of my insanity? I have been taking my medications everyday as prescribed. And yet I am still psychotic. I have tried individual psychotherapy/counseling, but seemingly to no avail. It seemed like my past counselors/therapists thought I was a hopeless case. I have also tried group therapy, but it did not seem to help, either. I could not relate to anyone in the group therapy, even people with Schizoaffective Disorder. I ...

Has anyone tried ECT?

On talking to this therapist for just an hour ...

I've had IST's before, but now they're back.

Every time I get on the toilet, and/or get in the shower, I end up thinking story ideas. I believe in REAL angels (and NO ONE can tell me otherwise, so don't try!) that say I'm sexually harassing people and can't use the story ideas if I made them up while naked.

I also can't stop thinking of sex while writing.

I've been writing down story ideas ...

Hi everyone!


I thought we could all share about what kind of struggles is neccesary in order to heal.
I was inspired by another thread where someone talks about staying in therapy for too long because they throught "therapy is supposed to be hard".
But you rarely get to hear in what way it's supposed to be hard.

Would you mind sharing your helpful and unhelpful experiences?

I'll go first and talk about my expectations: ...

I want to know.

How about you?
