Have you read any of my posts??? Being on that medicine just wants u to find the negative stuff but seriously theres so many sucess stories here now i used to have to look up threads years ago for it.
I swear to you I feel like a better version of my self before this esp cause the hardship of going through 8 months of torture.
depression is linked with memory issues too, like forgetfulness and confusion.
I know how you feel. There's people in these threads that've gone through the same. But I don't think you should be saying your issue is more severe out of sheer personal belief on something you sound like you've never gone through. Depression is bad too, like suicidal ideation, considering it, and then in worst case scenario making a plan and acting out on it. The feelings are dark and heavy with a mix of hopelessness and maybe worthlessness. On top of that you're exhausted and fatigued; sometimes to the point that you can't even work. I know your speech means the world to you as you're a writer, but people literally die by their own hands from depression. Not a dulled mind. Mr. Haldol here was considering killing himself earlier in his Invega recovery because he felt hopeless (sorry to bring that up Haldolhell).
Dude i forgot so many memories i had about my life, plus wasn't able to read anything and then apply it.
It's going to take some time to adjust. I understand if you feel like you had severe problems dude i felt like everyone had a better chance at recovering and i was fucked. I was running online businesses. Everything from writing product descriptions to running ads and visiting the post office to ship. I was even making parts from scratch through a 3d printer at one point having to design custom parts for every customer separately. I got manic though and overwhelmed eventually. Got my own apartment before 21. Lost everything though eventually after stress overwhelmed me sleepless nights and lack of proper diet and 20 joints daily on-top of that turned to psychosis. My my positive mindset my music my own meds(tea,weed) stayed for a while. Then the long lasting injectable stole that away from me. I entered the worst state of mind yet. If you thought living without money was sad ur now living with a lack of chemicals in your brain to work (dopamine, euphoria, serotonin). I was actually happy somewhat losing it all cause i could still think positive and feel like i could bounce back.
I used to kinda low-key not believe/mad when people said stuff like this. It's actually a really proud moment when u finally make it through this pain
How are you doing dude? It's nice to see you still on here! One of the few that stayed positive and logical.
My sex drive is coming back after about 9 months off this shit. I started taking more suppliments like lions mane and st John's wort and also a 5htp suppliment. Everyone's journey is different, and no one's experience can relate to someone else's. All you can do is have faith and keeping that hope alive that one day you will be back to yourself. That's what's getting me through this. Hope. And I've seen glimpses of what life is like on the other side of this. And it's absolutely breathtaking.
how's your weight loss journey? is it possible to lose weight? I am pretty much 8 months off Invega but i am still on Ablify injections.
i really want to risk my mental health and get locked up for 28 days.... no but in all seriousness in the UK anyway you can come off 3 months after discharge from hospital i wanted to make sure that i had the best possible chance to stay well if i recovered against my own wishes i decided to stick with it until i got the okay to taper off everything and i’m feeling better every day/week so stay strong.
I really regret staying on it for as long as I did. The doctor lied and extended my court order. My lawyer wanted to fight it. I regret it very much because I’m afraid I will never get better.
for me personally i don’t take so much as a pain killer unless absolutely necessary get off all medications (other than stuff for physical health) learn to cope without a single thing how can your brain get back to the natural state if you fill it with stuff that changes the chemistry of it all
Pretty good man. I'm probably going to be getting off of antipsychotics in June here so i'm stoked for that. It's nice to still see you here too though dude, and it's nice seeing that you're doing a lot better now.
