How do you feel this way? Have you had improvements? I’m suicidal every moment

I had some time where I felt like that as well, but my support helped push me through and it eventually improved. Time helped, support was huge, accepting a new starting point then being proactive and keep making improvements from then on. For me having a structured daily routine that included exercise, meditation, and a lot of stuff I didn’t want to do ending up being a big help also. Improving is always possible as long as you don’t give up.
 
This is such a long, grueling process. I thought I would heal rather quickly. It’s been months and I’ve only had slight improvement. Definitely don’t expect improvement over night.
 
I know I sound like a junkie but I miss the euphoria of smoking weed and listening to music. Who would have known a medication could take that shit away from you

Yeah I can relate . I used to love coffee and get so much enjoyment out of it and I’m still in the process of recovering it. Abilify took a year plus to recover, this time around on Risperdal is still ongoing . Making consistent and measurable progress but it’s very slow
 
This reminded me of a flashback when I was in the psych ward around the time I got off Abilify and was in the suicidal phase like how a lot of you are apparently, I would just be like in bed and just like be so uncomfortable and jolt out of my bed in this like panic like this isn’t real . I actually wrote a suicide note in the psych ward (3 years ago). I wouldn’t be able to extend my legs up it was so scary. I got bullied in the psych ward pretty much during that time no one believed me except one nurse who I liked everyone just dismissed everything I was going through and said I was in the depression phase on bipolar instead of it being from medication side effects. Was on Latuda on that point in the hospital , go off that soon after tried Lamictal tapered off that. And then eventually I got on Adderall which I do not recommend in the long run. I understand it’s a journey, and it’s not easy. But I have been through the suicidal parts so I know I’m not in that phase personally right now but that’s why I want to help out and let you all know it gets better. And I’m extremely lucky and grateful I have the support I do.

I saw someone else write this. The one reasoning I can think I can relate on this is I get exhausted when I wake up. And that feeling is what I think can bring in the whole reminding of us of what’s not working effectively. I think we should try being positive and just understand our bodies are doing everything they can to bring an equilibrium and homeostasis, the meds are currently out of our system so now just nurture and self love ❤️ as best as you can . I know we are probably all reminiscing on times where we were better off and not struggling , but this is how things are now , we can’t go back, only steps forward and small steps towards a more accepting , loving, positive, supportive vibe is what we can aim to bring for ourselves and others. And the more we do this , the easier it will get. I know it’s important to be realistic about what you’re going going through so that’s why I encourage you all to speak up about what you’re going through and be helpful to each other.
