It’s tough to know what to say to people who are obviously stuck in poor predicaments. It’s especially tough to deal with when it’s very clearly their realities they’re stuck in. Remembering @brokenself i can’t even testify for what we should do in these circumstances. As people continually suffer and slowly drift into despair and grow closer to death what are we even to say to these people? That life will eventually get better when we have evidence that this just isn’t true?
 
Took me around 4-5 months to recover from 2 months worth of high dose pills. (Olanzapine + Haloperidol)

Pills are less potent than injections.
 
Another day. What gets me through the day feeling like shit is knowing I’m one more day without that poison being injected in my body anymore and one day closer to recovery.

I still feel the effects of invega and I guess I will continue to for a long time. This really sucks but I’ll find a way to get through.
 
I have some baby pet african snails which I have currently to give me a small purpose while I go through this hell.

I just moved them into a clean enclosure and my hands/fingers shaked so much when I was picking them up due to these injections. Almost dropped some its so uncontrollable. (They are tiny)

I enjoyed doing it tho, seeing it as a small win. For some time I was not thinking about the injections at all. Too busy concentrating lol.

That’s awesome that you have an activity that distracts you and gives you purpose. I’m struggling to not think about the injections- I don’t know maybe it’s mental, but I think it’s because I’m under the effects still although I discontinued after my last shot on August the 18th.

When you feel this shit it’s almost impossible to not think about these injections unless you are doing something with your time that is immersive. The uncertainty also adds to the rumination because unfortunately some people don’t experience full recovery so theres a lot at stake, you can’t live like this and be happy.

When I healed one of the greatest aspects of it is no longer thinking about the shots, it feels like you have broken out of a cage.

You are so early into recovery, know everything you are experiencing is to be expected. Stay strong mate
