But...you did ask...just by posting...
Why? I gave up asking why a very long time ago. I actually have learned to ask, "why not?"
Not knowing what to do about? Maybe a list would help? Maybe prioritizing the list as to what is most pressing?
There are so many resources out there now. You don't have to be alone. I think it is great that you have posted here.

Maybe if you could say more?

read what you wrote before you deleted it. I understand why you deleted it... you can write to my in-box and I can answer if that's okay... grieving is a sad experience, especially if you feel alone.

Okay, so from what I have read that Old Soul has posted, he feels that someone has stolen his name, is afraid someone will harm him, and is afraid to leave his room.

These sound like classic signs of schizophrenia.

You need to see a doctor and get on proper meds. Nothing we do here is going to help you as your brain chemistry needs to be altered in order for you to be able to 1) communicate logically and 2) receive any help.

What is the point of posting a "++++++deleted"? You need help, and nothing we can do or say is going to convince you that your fears are unfounded.

Go to an emergency room at a hospital and explain how you feel. They will help you get your life back.

No one said you were 'crazy', everyone needs reassurance at times. People can babble about mental illness, but I would ask them for their doctoral certificate before they start diagnosing. You are in the Haven and free to express yourself. Go ahead, Old_Soul, you are among friends.

Some of us know how rough it can get sometimes.

Some of us know how hard it is to believe in yourself when everybody's against you and nobody's on your side.

Dear Old Soul,
Only a doctor can diagnose schitzophrenia effectively.

Being sad and upset does not make anyone psychotic. Being scared and feeling like you are backed into a corner creates thought patterns that are highly emotionally charged.

I think it is great that you came on here looking for help and support. I know there are great resources out there for people who are afraid, lonely, and sad. Finding a professional bound by ethical standards would be really helpful for you to confide in.
The local ARC... you can google them or maapservices org or grasp org are some resources that you can turn to.
They will be able to make local referrals for you.

please be kind to yourself,
Annette
