Wake up, your world is just an illusion

I fell asleep and slept for 9 hours. Now I feel even worse than when I went to bed. I hate how I always feel right after waking up. Like drowning, sedated, hurting, clogged throat and nose. It took five minutes for my eyes to get used to the light from the computer screen.

I've been thinking about what wrote this morning, about opening up about the hallucinations to my shrink, and what a relief it would be to get that out and get help for it. But I’m also stupid and vain, thinking I wouldn't wanna take antipsychotics for the single reason that almost all of them cause weight gain, and increases my appetite. Risperdal also took away my creativity. I don't know, but it could be worth a try, and maybe I could just ask to get the pills without spilling my guts? But how the hell did I think that could work? Can't just go there and say “Hey, I want some antipsychotics! I'm not psychotic or anything, but I want the pills for it!”

No, that won't work. Lying always entangles me into more lies, but I can't think of anything to say in that case. You give antipsychotics to people who are psychotic and that's it. And I’m starting to give up believing I could somehow get better without treating this broken part of my mind as much as the for stuff that I’m being open about. How can I learn how to think more positive or controlling my emotions when the voices are constantly disturbing and hallucinations and delusions controls my emotions? How can I get better when I don't know what is real?

I’m not doing well at all, and I have to figure out a way to deal with it. Figure out if this is worth the risk. Cause somehow I think reality is again catching up with me, leaving me with two yet no choices. If I keep being quiet I will be able to get the surgery and the ones following and eventually get my gender changed legally – but if I keep on lying I won't get any better, thus I won't get mentally stable enough to go through with that. Who does major surgery on a psychotic person who can't sleep or eat? The other choice is to confess and risk everything. But I’m sure that once that's sorted out they will still know I’m truly transsexual and really need the treatment for that, but it might take a little longer. Thus that is the only choice I have, cause I can't just get better on my own. If I don't actually get better on my own that is.

Cause maybe, just maybe things will get back to normal (my normal, the usual me) again once I get to sleep and eat again, and stop OD'ing on caffeine. But a part of me doubts that. This has been going on all summer and late spring, I had a psychosis under the most stable week during this time, a week I didn't drink or cut, I ate healthy and slept healthy. I’m constantly balancing on the edge between reality and psychosis, and I self diagnosed myself as Schizophrenic for a reason. It's not something I want or wish that I had, far from it. It's a conclusion of past and current experiences. And then we have my undying curiosity for getting to the bottom of this and once and for all finding out what it really is.
