I’m going to take a class in the fall semester. Financial reporting IFRS. Master’s level. Accounting standard. Law and numbers combined. Hope invega didn’t make me too <edited out derogatory term - SMod> to learn something.

I don’t get it I weigh 108lbs but Invega Sustenna changed my facial structure so much and made me gain fat in weird areas I look nothing like my previous self. I hope ppl know on here who are trying to lose weight just because you lose the weight it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to go back to your previous self at all. That’s a warning.

I never got fat around the face but on my gut hell ya. I fucking blew up like a baloon after the first injection. I went up to 225lbs and had quite the gut. Now i weight 200lbs but i was down to 170lbs for awile when i got off the invega and abilify but my gut was still flabby. Im working out now so most of the weight i put on was muscle. It's pretty flabby to now at the moment but i havent been watching carbs like i should have these past few weeks.
 
You just need to keep losing weight until your face gets defined. For some people it’s the last place that gets lean. Sucks with those kind of genetics but we are all different

Wow that is genuinely very impressive, I'd legit even buy some of that artwork off of you, or at least I would if I wasn't broke and currently unemployed due to this. Drawing used to be one of my hobbies, I said used to because it was something I once did frequently but eventually did less of over time even before invega. But of course after that incident despite recovering significantly I still don't have the patience or motivation to draw like I used to. So now I'm curious, if you attempted to paint at this moment how would it look in comparison to your previous paintings? Hopefully one way or another you regain that talent back sooner or later.

Thank you! Lol I can’t afford much either due to invega. I bet you were great at drawing. I’m curious too, I wonder how it would look if I painted again. My hand eye control isn’t near as good as it used to be and that’s a big part to what I do. A big part is confidence as well. I don’t have near as much confidence as I did when I painted these pieces. I don’t think they would turn out near as good. Thank you for your encouragement!

That’s crazy good off your anhedonia is gone. I still have anhedonia and I’m at 9.5 months off.

I would give anything to feel normal again. How certain can we be that we will all recover? So hard to stay positive

I posted a list a few pages ago of people who recovered. There were many people on this list. It takes a long time however.
 
^ Unlesss you get a disorder like td or some other movement disorder then chances are you will recover. The possibility of getting td from fucking invega made me not want to take it but it was better then being psychotic and locked up in a hell hole psych ward. Fuck that shit noone belongs there unless they are a criminal or some shit

Got shitty involuntary movements from abilify like lightning jolts shoot through the limbs and sudden jerks didn't remember having this with invega. Man the longer on antipsychotics the more damage

Do you regain your spirituality? I lost my gut instinct

No and im not talking about the need to go to church. its like chakra energy got deleted before this when i meditated i could raise kundalini energy and i literally felt energy points during meditation. I meditated 5 hours a day last 20 years also did yoga and other spiritual practices. I read a few people talk about kundalini energy and alot of them said it takes 5 years average of intense spiritual exercise to get it back. @iridescentblack also said it took him 4 years.

I think a lot of it has to do with the loss of concentration. Meditation, for me at least, was closely related to concentration. Once my concentration comes back I feel like my ability to meditate will come back as well.
