I just read a book on Diet and Nutrition and found out that Aspartame and artificial sweeteners are responsible for over 90% of mental health problems.
I can speak from experience as I consume a ton of them and have just started to change my diet.
Be careful of artificial sweeteners and soda, especially energy drinks as they all deplete serotonin and cause insomnia, loss of energy and behavioral issues.

I don't think they're responsible for mental problems. The #1 reason is lack of money.

Mental health issues are connected to the gut more than we know. They did a research about it if I remember correctly.
We are what we eat after all, I said it before and I'll say it again, nutrition plays a key role in recovery and wellbeing.

Maybe for some people.
But I’ve had psychosis 3 times and none of them were caused due to lack of money. Just poor food choices. I ate a lot of fast food and soda after losing weight around the 12 month mark every time I recovered and I would relapse because of it.
 
Most people can tolerate heavy amounts of fast food and artificial sweeteners. But some people like me are more susceptible to psychosis due to that stuff. Weed, fast food, other rec drugs and artificial sweeteners are the leading causes.

For me weed never caused psychosis.
My psychosis was however most likely because I was eating foods I was sensitive to.
For example, I was suffering from sweaty palms and feet since I was a little child, which is considered an incurable issue.
Once I cut out meat, gluten and dairy, among other foods like bananas and rice (Eating only certain fruits, vegetables, certain legumes and fish), my hands and entire body is completely dry, and it's been going like this ever since I cleaned my diet.
Also, my anxiety levels dropped significantly, I always used to be stressful in certain situations easily, and now I don't.
My whole body was stressed because of the way I was eating, and my psychosis always was triggered by immense anxiety.

So like I said, what we put in our body plays a major role in how we feel and also behave, don't underestimate it.
Peace.

It’s money bro. Your parents called the cops on you. If you had a million dollars you’d just move out and you wouldnt have been on this forum.

Yes, you can say basically my family fucked me over. Life sucks now, but hopefully it gets better to the point I'm back to my former self.
If I had more money, I most definitely had my own crib, like in my good days.
 
It's sad how it all comes down to money. Your perspectives even get shaped by how much money you have.

I am surprised you're working on this poison.

It was extremely hard on injection days, now it's easier.
All I do at my job mostly is sitting, so it's quite easy, but when I had Akathisia, that shit was unbearable, all I thought about was suicide.
 
Finally finished my community treatment order, started on invega for 2 months, then haldol and finally abilify since May. I switched to abilify in hopes it would make me hypersexual and fix my sexual side effects but it only helped a little. I can get an erection now, but not as easily off meds. And my libido is still non existent. I have no sensitivity in my glans as well. I keep praying that I'll recover and not develop pssd.
 
I'm proud of myself for staying strong through this and working full time. My tax return will pay off and make more than being on disability. I just hope I don't crash into depression again if I don't recover.

Most people recover as far as I've read.
I'm on disability myself, and it helps me tremendously.
At first I rejected being on disability, didn't like the idea, but now I'm glad I got approved.
Do you suffer from anhedonia too?
 
At this rate, there's low chance I recover my libido any time soon. It's probably going to take a full year to feel something, although I do get some blood flow to my penis once in a while. I guess it's my body's way of trying to heal, but I have a long way to go. Fucking waste of time. I should never have even said a word to that retard and just acted as a mute. I'd have a better outcome.

The sensitivity on my penis and semen volume improved significantly about 3 - 4 weeks ago, and now I'm back to square one again as if I just got injected. It do takes time, but windows of healing like this do give me hope.
Don't worry, it's coming back, the body is re-adjusting while removing the poison.
