This week it’ll be 10 months off the shots and 7 months posting on this forum. Things haven’t changed much.

Some people seem to not get as bad side effects. While I’m stuck here with crippling anhedonia and akathisia. I take a benztropine for akathisia and sure, it helps with me not pacing, but I just lie down in total agony. When will this nightmare end.

How much BO7 are you gonna be playing. Probably gonna buy it regardless of amount of time you’re playing it, but I wanna know if we’ll be going crazy on the game or not

When you last recovered from invega, did you lose interest in talking about other stuff?

When I recovered I no longer talked about medication as if it was all thats on my mind.

I understand where @rawbanana is coming from. But, people who have recovered @Invegatorture and @paranoid android and others, did your light come back?... i do notice that people who recover disappear from forums and donttalk about the drug anymore. Is it the same for others?

My light came back brighter after experiencing invega.

I plan to go crazy on the grind as it's a new cod, but honestly it will depend if its a good game or not. Btw we will swap who hosts so we can both play on our own servers.

Have you considered investing in a ps5? The game will be much more enjoyable for you on that.

Meh, haven't been tuned into games enough as of late to spend 500$ on a PS5. Also banking on the 7 year rule sony operates under, PS5 is nearly 6 years into it's life cycle. Hoping for that PS6 announcement to come around, so we can see what happens. Glad BO7 and a lot of games are still cross-gen

It is noticeable that people who have psychosis or likely to go back into psychosis usually recover quicker. @Invegatorture and perhaps @paranoid android are examples. Are their any exceptions to this? Are their people with psychosis who arenot recovering quicker or misdiagnosed peoplewhp recover quick?

Definitely one of the most hardest experiences I've ever had is this damn injection. It's really hard to believe in recovery when you're going through it, even though I know it's possible.

It's crazy what it does to you and no one could ever understand what it's like to live like this 24/7 if they have never been through it.

I'm coping okay but that's only because I have seen myself heal from these drugs before. Otherwise I would 100% have suicidal thoughts.

I wish I could say something other than recovery is possible to lift you out of suicidality but there isn't really anything that can. I know because I was there two years ago.

From my experience when you heal life tastes so fucking sweet. It felt impossible to heal at the time but some how I made it out.

Fuck man this is so fucked. I am sorry this happened to you and everyone else here.

How long have you been experiencing anhedonia? It's around 10 months for me. The feelings of happiness and dopamine feel like something from a past life for me right now. Seems so long ago. Time slows down.

When I heal I know I will feel reborn.

8 months I have likewise with akathisia.
Im just over two months in this recovery journey, but I haven’t noticed anything other than placebo effects. I have to hold on somehow, but it’s difficult. It’s not like I can use escapism because I can’t enjoy anything- so as a result I’m forced to sit with this. I hope I can just get some relief at least soon.

You didn’t get any relief for at least 6 months in your previous recovery didnt you? How did you spend your time until then ?
