here's a healing story, there are plenty of them (The average healing time is a sort of average that we discovered here (and in a few places on the internet). Manufacturers and psychiatrists will tell you about the half-life. We have had groups of people who suffered and then healed before we had enough data to determine that the "average" healing time is 8 to 14 months with a ceiling of two years. There are positive exceptions that heal. faster and negative exceptions that take longer. I was on the pill for two years, 11 injections and it took me about five and a half years to recover I'm obviously a negative exception Don't expect the. same time frame as me I tried a lot of things as AlphaMethylPhenyl says, it actually inspired me to keep trying when sometimes I had no results. It helped me endure until then. that my symptoms return and I am cured. This does not mean that someone else cannot improve the healing by trying.

Yes, it all comes back. I regularly laugh at shows and movies now, even at things I see in everyday life. the libido returns, oh the libido has been killing me in public for a few days, haha; Everything comes back. It's like waking up one day after having a nightmare and suddenly wondering if you're cured. we continue our day and everything is easier, a bit like a window. when you're cured, it's like riding a bike, you never forget. hang on

@Josh Handel: now you know why they say that if you haven't taken the poison you don't know what it tastes like. even after healing, you don't feel the cloud of poison hovering over you and it's harder to understand. that's part of why people continue after recovery, as you say. You look much better my guy.

As for your user ID, you can donate $20 to BL (which is funded by people's donations and grants) and receive the gift of changing your ID to whatever you want. When you change your name, your profile and posts will remain the same, you will still be on my friends list but your name will just be different. This is one of the reasons I have my nickname; to keep my life private and it challenged me to take it on as part of my essay.

I'm glad you're finally moving on. Good luck in all your endeavors and for the future
 
man, not cool man. Don't pull on it like that, you'll tear it off. The medications have been known to cause him to shrivel up like jumping into a cold pool, but he is not permanently shrunk. Please, shoot it to please yourself but not to prolong it, there are operations for that. Glad to see you're still here and doing what you can. Soon my friend, soon.

@Drugs Off: can you still have fun? and don't worry about alcohol and/or drug use, when the receptor is completely healed you will be able to feel it again. I would worry about going too far at first, your tolerance will be low and you will need to exercise in some way. So when you're healed, start by drinking a drink or two every day before diving headfirst back into it so you can use it safely. a direction?
 
Looks like my cousin will be joining psychiatry soon. He went psychotic last week and fought his brother and mother so severely that his mom fell and broke her leg, and he broke his brother’s arm. Fortunately, no charges were filed, and his family called it an accident.
In the past few days, he drank heavily and smoked a lot of weed, which triggered more psychosis. He went missing two days ago and was found passed out in a park. The family begged the police to take him to a mental hospital, but they refused without a court order. So, his family gathered evidence and got a court order to have him hospitalized at a nearby mental facility, the same one I went to.
He'll be there for 14 days, starting on olanzapine, and if he refuses, they’ll use Invega injections. I feel for him since we both spiraled into psychosis after losing our jobs and using drugs. He doesn’t yet know about the anhedonia and other side effects coming his way.

You can save him by giving him a call & telling him to fake like he's swallowing his medicine until he gets out. Warn him about the dangers of the medicine.

Yeah it would be a good idea to warn him. He lost his phone while drunk at the park few days ago so no way to contact him unless they let me see him at the hospital but i will try warning him.
 
Positive effects from niacin have worn off. I'll take it whenever I need a boost. Not sure if I'll do a whole three month course of it at 1000-1500mg, which is what is recommended for PSSD. (the people who do 3000mg are insane and that sounds like a crash waiting to happen for me, a couple people ruined their health doing that) I'll take it when I get out of this weed crash. I need to make a serious commitment to not smoke weed. I'm thinking about putting my pipes in foster care lol.

You traded bad medicine for more bad medicine?

I don't know what makes it so bad, especially if it's helping me regain sexual function.

Everyone is going to be affected differently by the same drug. I'm sure some people actually benefit from invega as hard as that is to believe.

Between my 2nd and 3rd half life
Finally able to get an erection without manually stimulating myself.
Might be the welbutrine helping.

yeah wellbutrin also helped me in the sexual department so its not just placebo but i found that it doesnt help in other areas like motivation or concentration so i quit using it and the fact that 30 day supply cost $52 , couldnt afford it anymore.

Bupropion is actually what I take, but it's the same as wellbutrin. Bupropion should be alot cheaper if you can get it. It cost me like 13$ here in Texas for 30 day supply of 150mg.

You may have to force yourself to do things you once enjoyed, even if you don't really want to. Your brain won't rewire itself if you don't take some action. Just start small, even if it means a 10 minute walk twice a day

Just found a comment on YouTube that says a girl suffering from memory loss and sexual Dysfunction after 8 years from risperdal.

Found another comment on YouTube that says guy is suffering sexual Dysfunction for more than 10 years from risperdal.

A friend of mine had problems after he went off of risperdal and still made it through art school. He's fine now.

I stayed 7 to 8 months doing nothing bed smoking cigarettes bed it's better after that, I'm giving myself 3 years to heal completely if I'm not 100% cured after 3 years I'm going back to smoking cannabis even if it bothers me made paranoid, I want to find my old self
 
the only positive emotions I received were when I smoked 3 lattes on a joint I really laughed and when I drank 3 or 4 glasses of white wine I laughed a lot but without any stimulant I can't laugh, that means it might not be blocked I would like it to come back 🙂‍↕️naturally like before

I'm a very frugal person and I was looking for the cheapest possible way to get a small home and avoid paying rent. I found a 10x20 prefab home for 12k, with the add-ons I want it, solar and septic, it comes out to 16k. There's some cheap land in Detroit and with that and the watermain hookup, I could have a home if I can get 20k together in a couple of years. I would also need a fridge and a washer/dryer and other appliances. It has full electric hookup and plumbing. There's probably a couple other expenses, like putting a foundation/house bolts down. I can also make payments of 800 dollars per month on the house. That's not too bad, that's better than rent. I'm having fun imagining only having to pay for water, phone and internet. No mortgage, no rent, no electric bill. There's also incentives for building homes in Detroit I will look into and see if this project would apply.

Please don't speak ill of Detroit. I lived there for college, it was fine. The most interesting thing I saw was a guy, not a cop, clearly just an average citizen, casually riding a horse down a major city street. (You can own and ride a horse within the city limits of Detroit, it never became illegal there so you have a long tradition of urban horseback riding, it's interesting) Sure, there's gang violence in some parts and other problems, but there's so much cool shit there. Lots of stuff to do, lots of art, good food.

Gotta get that job! If I get a starter home like this, I could live very cheaply and focus on paying back my student loans and freelance artwork, if I find that I can do art again. I would get the money for a house first, and then a car of my own and I'll be set.

I'm actually excited and hopeful for something in a long time! I feel like I found a great cheat code or something. I really do not care if my house is small. I grew up in small houses.

I think I spoke too soon, I'm comparing the floor plans to the pictures in the catalogue and they do not match up. I'm not sure if I would get what I paid for. I asked for pictures and videos of both floor plans, maybe there is some redemption to be had there.

Edit: I think they gave me the floor plan of a similar yet different model. Waiting for a response. I think these are reclaimed shipping container houses.

Edit: The website I saw it on is only two months old. 🟥 Proceeding with caution here. I did a reverse image search of items in the catalogue and the only source is the catalogue. The images don't look like AI, so they're real, but are they the real product? Or is this some Wish.com shit?
