Does anyone else find being out in public so overstimulating? I had to go to the mall to pick up something and all the sounds and noises made me feel like I was hallucinating again. Constantly get confused if someone is talking to me if there's people in ear shot talking. And I feel like everyone is looking at me even though I know they aren't.

Do you give your parts people names and if so how do you decide what to name them. 2 of my parts of actual names but I don't know where to start for the rest. I find names can be helpful when I'm talking to a part in my head.

What are some things that helped you minimize the delusions or get back down to reality?

About three weeks ago ago around the Obsession/Backrooms premiere I started to have the delusion that movies were actually real and I was paranoid I would actually be stuck in the backrooms or someone would cast a wish or spell on me like Obsession. I didn't realize it but the delusion has still been around. I feel like fantastical things are real or that scary things are actually real and are in my house. I'm constantly having nightmares about being stuck in other dimensions anytime I close my eyes. A part of me knows this isn't real but my brain won't stop thinking about it.

Disclaimer: I've talked to a therapist and messaged my psychiatrist to try and get an earlier appointment. I know the biggest thing to do is get medicated I just don't have that ability rn

Is there a specific mental health app or tracker any of you use to keep up with your symptoms. I find it very hard to keep up with how I'm feeling so I can communicate it to my therapist. I know a good ol' paper and pencil works too I'm just wondering if there's something that has worked for people with schizoaffective disorder specifically.

A friend and short fling of mine needs $645 to pay his backed child support or he goes to jail for 2 years. He only told me today, the day he goes to jail. He says he'll pay me back in 5 days. I have the money but I'm a broke college student and I have no way of replenishing the money if he does not pay me back. I have some trust with this person and believe he will me pay me back but it feels like a bad decision on my end. Please help.
