loosing my mind.

NAS80638

I keep getting more and more delusional everyday. The relationship I have been in for a year and a half turned into a long distance for the next few months since we both wanna focus on our career and he went back to his hometown for the period. My brain keeps trying to convince me that he doesn't love me anymore or he is cheating on me with his female friend. I have grown up in a society that demonizes male female friendships. I am trying to normalise it in my brain and unlearn the automatic thoughts and patterns. How do I deal with these delusional Scenarios that I find so hard to push away?

    Are you suffering general/high-levels of anxiety?   That can bring about things like this, psychosis perhaps, but either way you might want to see your GP and talk about it, or community mental health team, doesn't mean diagnosis or severe treatments, even low doses of anti-psychotics or something can help as that's what I get to help manage thoughts better and it also reduced anxiety a bit, though I've reduced it right down since using CBT techniques which may also help but perhaps not right now.

    Try not to engage with what's happening, focus on real things around you, observe it and decide not be affected.  Hold on to what is real, and don't dwell on what's unreal - unreal is not going to helpful usually, unless guidance from within if you were spiritual but I'm guessing not.  You could say in your mind its not useful when it happens, and say I'm going think about something better, or do something better.

    Find out how other people handle these things as well, with mind things trying tools out until we find one that works for us is how it goes.
