Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
Okay with a long talk with my support worker this morning, I’ve come to the realisation that perhaps I need to see my psychiatrist sooner rather than later. I’ve drastically changed how I look because I think people are following me, I’m not sleeping, I hardly want to go out, I go from suicidal thinking to euphoria and I keep thinking I’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime and will go to jail. I’m also hearing a lot of voices talking all at once but mainly telling me that my wife is going to die.
phew that was hard to type. I’m literally shaking with anxiety. I hope it was okay by the mods here but I copied and pasted the above paragraph into an email to the shrink. I won’t copy anything else. Just hard to put things into words and verbalise what I want to say.
My love to you all friends. I’ll let you know what the shrink says.

Re: Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
Hi @Queenie,
I just read this from Eckhart Tolle. I found it really helpful as I am victim of trapped thought.
Tolle writes that "the most significant thing that can happen to a human being [is] the separation process of thinking and awareness" and that awareness is "the space in which thoughts exist".[38] Tolle says that "the primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it"
It's so hard with an illness, but it helps me think about the situation instead of following the thoughts in your mind when they are not being helpful.
I know this is a bit general but it could help to know we don't have to focus on our thoughts about other people which are controlling.
I hope you are okay.

Re: Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
@Queenie you are showing great courage by facing what's going on and seeking help. Sometimes I can't really grasp things until I say or write them. It's good that you could write it down. I feel for you and hope that your pdoc can help. Take care

Re: Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
@Everan Hi Everan very interesting quotes thank you for sharing.
"Tolle writes that "the most significant thing that can happen to a human being [is] the separation process of thinking and awareness" and that awareness is "the space in which thoughts exist".[38] Tolle says that "the primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it""
I was wondering if space and situation were the same? and if that is the case we should be happily mad?greenpea

Re: Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
Hello friends,
I’ve heard back from my psychiatrist and I see him next week. In the meantime he wants me to take no sugar or caffeine after 3pm to try and settle the body for sleep. I feel exhausted.

Re: Agitated and mixed up what the heck?
Thanks @greenpea for replying i appreciate it 🙂
I think Eckhart refers to space as the place where thoughts exist, and situation is the reality in which we can be present.
This got me thinking because i think you can be happy by living in thoughts that are happy. I am a very happy person but need to be present to increase my awareness and interact socially.
