I can't stand it. I'm tired of being chased by psychiatrists and drugs shoved down my throat and my house is dark so I can keep out the sun because it will burn my skin beyond repair. I don't have friends or family, fish are coming out of my shower head and slapping me in the face and the CIA and Mafia are in league with eachother, to spy on me and extract my valuable secrets and I know this for a fact because suspicious cars and vans drive by slow all the time right in front of my house. My team of psychiatrists has upped me to three different anti-psychotics and one anti-depressant and they're not working yet...I'm scared and lonely and sad and I don't want to go back to the hospital, I'm very afraid there and don't like the restraint bed at all, I hate being tied down like that and I cry and cry but they won't let me up til I swallow some mind numbing pills and lay quietly for awhile, then they take off the straps, I hate it, I hate it, when will this stop, what do I do??

I don't want to give you pity, I don't think that will help you because I wouldn't want it. I'm not going through quite the mental turmoil you are but I do have very similar experiences with paranoia, restlessness, sadness, and even that horrible restraint bed. I know a great deal of schizophrenia as well and while I know your individual experience with the illness is different than any account from any book or my own experiences, I think I can empathize with some of the thoughts and feelings you're going through. I also feel I'm being followed, as though someone is looking for me, but this is because of trauma I somehow escaped...
Anyway, I simply was going to say that if you feel you're approaching relapse, ot you're trying to deal with one right now, then you should get on that phone as soon as you can and tell one of your doctors. But I suspect you don't have a phone. In that case, get sunglasses, a coat that will cover your skin and find your way to the nearest payphone, remembering to bring your doctor's number so you can call and tell him you're in trouble, you need help. If you can't, call 911. Someone will come and see you through the worst of it, I know - I've been in that situation. It doesn't mean you will be forced back into the hospital. You just need some time to get adjusted to your new medications. Right now, the adjustment, is a nightmare. Again, I speak from some of my own experiences.
It seems these doctors and mental health workers are only trying to clog us with drugs, chase us down and tell us we're useless with these illnesses and no drugs to help, right? Well, some of us have mental illnesses, and that's okay. There are some decent drugs out there that help cope with it, and I hope they found the right cocktail for you. And I hope your team of psychiatrists is watching out for you - they chase you because they care and worry about you so try to turn to them for help. You're trying to deal with a very heavy burden of mental anguish, turn to them, that's what they're there for. Good luck, be safe, and God bless.

Yes, schizophrenia can be a terrible illness.
However, I'm not sure if you are telling the truth or joking. If you are joking it seems like you do know something about it but your writing style does not suggest any disorganized thinking.
If you are telling the truth, I would say stay on the medication or tell your doctor if you don't think it's helping.
If you are joking, I hope you will stop, because it's not funny to make fun of people with disabilities.
