angry and hurt things Question

Posted in Group: 

Hello I am wondering if any one on here can talk to me about this. I am diagnosed with schizophrenia, and I do lose track of time and at times in the past 15 years I have in my mind dealt with these guys that hurt me and I have taken a knife to them. But these guys are in my head. I do at times cut on myself when I am having a hard day and it feels like bombs are going off. But I also have had and hear the voices since I was young how to hurt my dad or others that have hurt me. I can sit across from my dad eating a meal at a resturaunt and picture as clear as day how I would take a knife or fork and stab him with it, I can see the detail and the voices talk about it also. But in the last about 15 years when I deal with these guys I end up at times with blood on me, but the blood is not mine. I know from my therapist I have killed my own dog with out knowing it, in my head it was these guys. My dogs are the most important thing in my life and this still crushes me I would do that. I have not talked to my therapist about these times I wonder what I am out there doing but end up with blood on me or around me. I know I have killed a duck once only because it was in my truck. I do not remember doing it, but it was there and all cut up so I had to have done it. I am already ashamed of having schizophrenia but the issues with the blood are becoming more often. I worry since I do feel so strong and can picture hurting people that have hurt me in some way. At this point when it is these guys in my head I se that I was fighting them or defending myself with my knife, and end up with blood on me, but these guys do not exist. Any one else deal with this. I have told my therapist that there are some issues I am not comfortable talking to him about, but finally I am thinking to talk to him, I jsut dont want to feel ashamed for this and dont want to feel I am alone in this. Is this a form of schizophrenia or is it a whole nother issue. I dont want to talk to him if he will not get it. I have tried to research this fact but getting nothing on line that is right most of it comes down to physically abusing someone but mine I am not sure who or what I am hurting. And the fact I learned I killed my own dog worries me even more too. Any one know what I am trying to say.

Hi, what you are describing to us are ramifications of your schitzophrenia, everyone is affected by this disease alittle differently, and what they see and do have a lot to do with their surroundings and environment. Talking to your therapist is the best thing you can do as he can help you sort out these issues and hopefully get to the bottom of you particular dilema. Being ashamed of your disease is like me being ashamed of my curly hair...I did not do anything to get my curls and you did nothing to get your disease it is how we deal with our illnesses that matters and talking to your therapist is your best route along with taking all of your medications Please call him today for an appointment...he will get it! ((HUGS))

Sending hugs and prayers your way for strength.

dear k9trnr, well, i don't know all that much except to echo Rascal and say go to the therapist or your trainer who has been so helpful about your "visions" before. although you are not to be held responsible for the skitsophrenia you are responsible for dealing with it and you must do all you can as you are to cope and deal with it and i admire your efforts. i only know from my son the extent of one's suffering and pain and feeling of helplessness. my son is on heavy duty meds and they make him feel dizzy but he has to take them to quell the voices and visions. i would ask you about your meds. have you had a med check and where are you at with that. knowing you you are doing all you can. i suffer from mental illness also and i used to feel ashamed and rarely mention it when i am talking about my infirmities. i know my son was ill as a child and so was i as you say you were. how are we responsible for this? and where is the shame in it? the only shame is in not caring for ourselves properly. so i feel this shame is not appropriate and maybe either a part of your illness and the voices or from another area of your being and doesn't belong there. you are doing all you can and that is all you can do. i know you to be in the struggle and not giving up and this is all that is asked of us. as for me i believe the same. it is hard to stay in the fight. but you are an amazing person and doing an amazingly wonderful job surviving and managing your symptoms and writing them down here is a good thing to do. maybe that will be part of a healing process. i hope so. all my prayers for healing and wellness for you dear one.

...love and prayers and may the Lord Bless us All!
