Is it normal to be very well and still unsure what is real and what is imagined
When I am tired and doing nothing, just laying in bed, thoughts pop into my head about things I think are real. I worry about what I did when I was sick. I know I made phonecalls to people in my delusions and I am not sure what I said. The other night I thought of a friend from school, thinking I rang her. I know I could not have now. I don't even have her number and don't even know where she lives. I have seen her since then and all was ok. Even thinking of it now it seems so real and I replay the conversation I am sure never happened. I have been taking my meds and don't know why I do this. Other events happen to with people that I am not sure took place. I am really concerned as it seems so real.
Hi womanc,
A lot of times people with SZ don't remember what happened to them, or don't remember accurately what happened. Perhaps as you lie awake you are trying to reconcile what happened and make sense of it, so you're playing back what you think might have happened. I would let go and accept that it wasn't under your control. Then I would replace the worrisome thoughts with positive ones. You could even, at the moment you're lying in bed with wandering thoughts, take up a journal or notebook and write down all the positive things you like about yourself and your life. To distract yourself from the worry and to feel good.
Regards,
Christina
