Help me, please. I got out of the psych hospital sometime in May for my 5th or 6th hospitalization for paranoid schizophrenia. I’ve been waiting to get okay again and have been almost good. 90-95% after the initial couple weeks after I was released. However, I had a setback this evening. Can I not handle stress? I was irritated by my dad who is crazy himself. He has nothing to do but pay attention to my medication in the pill box on the refrigerator. I told him to leave me alone a couple times already and that I have enough medication. He is always annoying to me and just talking to him raises my blood pressure and stresses me out. He bothered me again today and I told him to leave me alone. Later, I went to pick my mom up from work and she really annoyed me as well. She is also really annoying to me. I had told her when I got out of the hospital that I should call INS for my aunt. My mom told me no, I didn’t have to call and everything was fine. I asked her two different times. Today, she mentioned she wanted me to call because it had been a long time. This really irritated me because both of my parents are retarded about most things in life and are terrible parents. I asked her why she told me not to call before when I asked her. I am not mentally stable and I don’t want to call now. I was ready to call before when I asked her. Right now I have to deal with my own things and don’t want to call INS. Anyway, these are minor stresses but today when I dropped my mom off and went to take a walk around the park, I felt myself coming unhinged. I fled home. I feel okay again in the sanctuary of my room. I am also stressed deeply in the back of my mind about some crazy emails I emailed someone as soon as I got out of the hospital. I want to ignore it. I know it won’t go away. I think about it often and push it into the back of my mind but it’s still there. Anyway, I feel my coming unhinged tonight has more to do with the minor stresses of my *stupid* parents. I really don’t like either one but I must love them because they are my parents. I’m lucky to get to live with them right now while I am trying to fix my life after crazy time (x 3) but, really, I wouldn’t be crazy if it wasn’t for my crazy parents anyway (genetically + how they raised me). Help me, please. Do I need more medication or a different one? I won’t be able to live life if minor stresses make me unhinged. Have you been through this and have some advice for me?
I’ve been on Seroquel 200mg daily since January. I haven’t missed a dosage. I know how important it is to take my antipsychotic medication and antidepressant or any other medication. Even though I was on the Seroquel, I ended up with another episode in May and my parents put me back in the hospital since they love to just drop me off there even though I am of no harm to anyone. I was on something else at the hospital in November and December but they were both very difficult for me to deal with. Seroquel feels alright but 200mg must not be enough if I am getting unhinged at minor stresses? I don’t want Zyprexa again as it made me fat.

To the idiot …Possum, I don’t think I can prescribe my own medication. I told my dad I have enough medication in my pill containers. He is always asking me to go to the pharmacy to refill my medication even when I have enough pills in the pill containers. You’re an idiot who didn’t understand what I wrote. Also, my dad is crazy as well. Did you read that part?!?
RWPossum is really an idiot who can’t read. I also wrote at the end of my question: Do I need more medication or a different one? Does that sound like I think I am taking “enough medication?”
