I'd just use activity levels of a kinda benchmark, no? Like before I'd wake up at 7, shower brush teeth and be out by 8, get home around 4 then go do some sport till late. In spare time hang out outside with people.Man Invega really fucked my brain up so badly that I have this idea in my head where pre Invega I was euphoric and happy all the time when I know that's not really true. So I have this idea that i'm not truly recovered until i feel euphoric and happy all the time. Normal people are not euphoric 24/7 but in my defense, I feel dead inside and life is grey and anhedonic so anything better than this state would be considered euphoric for me. I lost touch with who I was pre Invega . I have completely forgotten what normal life was like that I'm not sure if I would be even be able to tell when I have fully recovered, I suppose if I feel better than what I feel now would be a benchmark to see if I'm recovered but Invega left me so damaged that I doubt I would even be able to tell. Anyone else feel the same?
thats a good benchmark. Before invega I had a whole ass routine that consisted of working, exercising, hanging out with family and friends and doing hobbies. Now i sleep for 10-12 hours do nothing but stay in my bed watching youtube then go to sleep. Thats pretty much my routine for the last 14 months. If I feel better to find a job and have a routine thats different than doing nothing all day I guess thats when I can say i fully recovered.I'd just use activity levels of a kinda benchmark, no?

Currently I wake at 9 and do NOTHING, don't want to talk to anyone. I occasionally go for walks or to family's, to again, do NOTHING.
It feels stuff would naturally just flow before, with no effort/thought needed to get through days
How is watching YouTube for you? I used to binge watch almost anything at night, now I can't even open the app. Did it take some time for you to start watching it?thats a good benchmark.

It's honestly the only thing I do, it doesn't give me any joy or pleasure consuming videos but It's better than the alternative which was staring at my wall all day. I was a youtube addict since 2011 and when I was injected with invega I left youtube for 3 months but slowly started using it again and its now all I pretty much consume.How is watching YouTube for you?

Thanks for coming back and checking in! Just wondering, do you consider that you've healed because your doing all the things you used to do, or is it more of a being able to feel that you're better?Hey everyone just checking in. I was able to log into this old account. I have another account Kiaf852. I was locked out of this one and tried to log back in, so that I could go through my messages with Bojana. I can’t believe this month will mark six months since her passing. I just want to wish everyone good luck. I just want to serve as a reminder that healing 100 percent is possible. I have healed. I will continue to pop in from time to time.
Bc they gave you pill after pill after pill too fucked your brain chemistry up for some monthsThanks man. But how if it was such a small dose? Really scared man

Get prescription for anti histamine sleep meds.2 hours of sleep last night... this socks...
I wouldn't use xeplionhell as an example for recovery. His story is shady . I was reading V4 and saw him comment about huge recovery milestones month after month but he comes here 4 years later and says he recovered 40-50% and still suffers from anhedonia.What's everyone's thoughts on these "windows"? Have you all experienced them? How long was it till your first one? I seen some time like @t_xeplionhell mention his progress has always been gradual, that mean not experiencing the "windows"?
Real progress is gradual 99% of the time, I think. It was in my case.What's everyone's thoughts on these "windows"? Have you all experienced them? How long was it till your first one?
