I hope we can all move on from this like people who experienced this before us.

we will, we must fight the feeling by doing activities to the best of our capabilities just like Luke said in his post we have no other choice if it doesn't make us feel better the least it could do is distract us which gives us a different kind of feeling which is better than this pit sinking depression. But its hard I know, baby steps.

I hope I have the motivation to keep playing BO7 when it comes out. Will be nice to have something to focus on and distract myself with. I'm gonna play with @Trueart2 if anyone else wants to join us lmk.

Where you from? @Trueart2 is from US i think and i'm UK. I think the ping will be terrible so i'm thinking we could play in seperate games but still be in a call. It's an option
 
It's a shame we all live in different places. Would be fun to play in the same games. Could have gone for a win streak.

Weed. it was terrible I had a panic attack.

This whole story is fucking meaningless I am a worthless pos I deserve to die honestly

No. Absolutely not. You are FAR from a worthless POS and you do NOT deserve to die.
I have felt this way. Its the darkness, not you.
You are loved and very special to your friends and family. Remember that.
And its evident that there are people here who enjoy talking to you.

Be very careful with weed. Id recommend staying away completely. This new weed is way more potent than we had back in highschool. The amygdala in the brain is responsible for fear and some people have a shit ton of receptors that bind to THC in there and it can cause extreme paranoia. Like the universe hates you and is attacking you. I smoked one time and after i had very bad anxiety ever since. Not only that but it can cause psychosis which is something you do not want if you want to stay off these meds for life.

I understand that feeling. Everything that happened before the injection feels like a dream.

In fact, dreaming while asleep was the only way I could indirectly experience my old self.

I just can't understand why this injection is so widely used.

Still, I hope you recover well.

Will you continue taking Abilify going forward?

Even if the side effects from Invega Sustina have subsided, I think it's useless if Abilify brings new side effects.

I stopped abilify and plan to go med free. 49 days since my last injection. Hoping to recover within a year.

If invega sucks for you, abilify probably will too. I have been on both and I have not noticed much difference between the two when it comes to side effects.

Are you coming off injections?
 
Seeing how my family want to help me but they can’t hurts me. My father tends to recycle the same advice of I just need to think positive and that, I’m in control of my thoughts. In reality this medication interferes with my thinking and is almost by default negative. I sincerely hope that time will heal.

My parents tell me the same thing. "Be positive" they mean well but don't understand.
 
You can't imagine how it feels being under the effects of these injections if you have never been on them. I tell my parents if they actually knew how I feel 24/7 they would be shocked.

I haven't been able to quit yet.

At our hospital, the doctor keeps recommending that I continue getting injections.

I've had about two injections so far, but honestly, I don't understand why the injections are necessary.

If you are not on a court order or community treatment order they can't force you. The more you have the longer it will take to recover and feel normal again. And from my experience life is not worth living while on them. I was miserable during my CTO and ended up being injected 9 times.

That is perhaps one of the worst feelings. Nobody can truly understand what we went through or going through right now, not even the people that love us the most. But having them show the effort in support is better than nothing. And i understand the guy that got pissed at me earlier, the "just be positive" gets irritating. But we really have no other option. Being locked inside your own brain is fucked up. But im just saying having experienced it, i was sure i would never recover. Am i 100%, no. But not in brain lock anymore. I hope my encouragement comes off differently than others who have no idea what this is.
