Nobody had anhedonia until neuroleptics/antipsychotics(APs) were invented!

Theory of negative symptoms is just what pharma manufacturer's made (and teach on colleges) as self protective mechanism.

Paliperidone mechanism of action:
is opposite of heroin, molecular structure is the same except they use Flourine which acts antagonistc and is very aggressive with much more lasting effects since it sticks to receptors and won't let go which also gives metabolic stress to receptors protein which aren't "unbreakable/unchangeable" thus causing changes which affect their functionality in long term even after quitting, resulting in inflammation since microglia will be detecting receptor damage and sending many repair messages to neuron cells, they also assist in replacing synapses and replacing receptors.
-------------------------------------

I'm 2 years off and still experience severe anhedonia, around halfways recovered from it, and still recovering every month, noticing some progress, especially visible every 4 months.

Really good

It takes a special kind og strength dealing with this kind of uncertainty. Marines should use this as mental development training 😂. It’s almost like a prisoner have to come to terms with a long sentence

A prisoner would know what to expect though by committing a crime that’s against the law. People being medicated for a mental condition is them trying to be good people that function in society and obey laws
 
Atleast with prison you know you would be out of the hell eventually. There is uncertainty with invega.

I would find a 5 year prison sentence easier mentally than this

Hate to sound like a junkie on this forum always mentioning drugs or alc. Thing is I believe it is a good indicator of the drug wearing off and stuff. I don’t condone this shit especially to younger people on here. Drugs may trigger psychosis and alcohol just wears you out after a while. Best thing is to get a natural high from exercising, laughing, sex. Alcohol is my weakness I hope to curb it one day soon

You've got a good point, though. Being able to get a decent high was a marker for me in my recovery.

If I recover, I will be here to offer support until I die(from natural death).

I plan on doing the same, regardless of whether I manage to make a "full" recovery or not, I still intend to stick around for several years after, for as long as I can. As much as I'd love for there to be psych meds in the future that have a very unlikely chance of causing side-effects, I don't think it'll happen any time soon, so the least I can do is support people already on these threads, and new people that come in every once in a while. Not to sound negative but I feel very certain that these type of meds could potentially shorten someone's lifespan, especially with extended use. Invega also damaged several of my organs, mainly liver, according to my most recent blood test so that's very unfortunate.

Yeah bro but maybe they just keep on with their lifes wich for me sounds impossible in this moment, with this feeling I have al over my being. I know I am pesimistic but I believe recovery is really far away…
How many months have been for you?

You don’t even want to hear my plan if I don’t recover within 1 year.
 
This talk of suicide is really negative for people who need a positive mindset to recover. The first 5 months are soo much different and entirely different from 5-10 months

I think we should all post a 5 minute video talking about our experience

I've actually been considering doing the same thing for a few days now, especially now that you brought up the suggestion. I know Kaatrina posted a video of her experience a while ago, which was a little over 10 minutes long if I remember correctly. I've had a YouTube channel since 2015, where I used to upload Roblox gameplay videos back in 2019 and before, until I eventually lost interest. My YouTube channel name is literally the same as my username here and has 74 subs, the only difference being that my profile picture is based off of my favorite Pokemon which was also the inspiration for my username, and not some smooth brain like it is here.

To recover from anhedonia at least 90%, that's what I meant by full recovery.
 
It doesn't say in today's birthdays on this website but happy birthday Kiaf85, I know I already said it like 2 days early but wanted to mention it on your actual birthday again. Hopefully you've at least recovered enough that you can enjoy the entire day with your family, friends, and boyfriend even though you said it'll be the first birthday you'll be unable to feel excited about. If for some reason you unfortunately don't feel too great today, hopefully by your next birthday you have recovered enough to enjoy it the way you could in the past. If I could I'd even like to go to your birthday party if you're having one, bring you a gift of some sort, and talk about our experiences for a while. 😁
