Lines on walls disappearing hurts my self-esteem.

I'm tired of my psychotic symptoms. I want them to go away. They are a slap in my face.

I have spent half my life studying the mathematical complexity of nature. I want to at least be able to perceive it.

What are your symptoms? The subject of your thread is something about the lines on the wall disappearing. Could you have a problem with your eyes? Basically, I just want to know why you think you are psychotic. If you elaborate, maybe you could get some good advice.

About three years go I used drugs heavily while looking at a picture diagram I made and wondering about consciousness. It ruined my focus -- now I'm more focused on my entire field of vision -- and I see the lines on walls and ceilings disappear and reappear sometimes. I waited an entire year without doing drugs and this symptom wouldn't go away. Now I'm also seeing stars that flash and disappear. I've been diagnosed psychotic. Medications don't help. I don't know what to do.

What type of dr's have you seen for this problem. If you've just seen your internist, I don't think that they are qualified to treat psychosis and you might want to see a psychiatrist.

This being said, bad psychiatrists are everywhere. If you have a feeling that the one you are seenig is bad, you are probably right and you need a second opinion.

Last of all, your problem may not be something for a psychiatrist to solve. If you have an internist, you might want to look into getting a referral to a neurologist. Drugs can cause physiological changes, so your problem may be more within the expertise of a neurologist. I've had pretty good experiences with neurologists - and one of them did solve a problem and fix the cause of a memory problem that a psychiatrist couldn't even diagnose in my husband. On the off chance that you are in Utah, I could give you her name.
