exactly it was especially bad for me cause I have SAD (seasonal affective disorder) if I don’t get sunlight I get depression I had two psych ward visits both being very close to eachother time wise overall I spent about a month there thank fuck I was there in the summer so when I got out I could go to nature and walk in the sun if this whole ordeal took place in the winter I may have ended up committing suicide.

I was there from winter until summer and summer sucked so bad because there was absolutely no ac in the hospital and the windows barely opened. It was boiling even in the winter ffs. I was voluntary again in may which was better as i could go to the mall and smoke some weed and stuff with a friend of mine in there.

They had the ac blasting in our ward it was like 50 degrees in our unit that’s definitely better then it being boiling hot cause atleast you can just put warmer clothing on, when you went in voluntarily in may did you go to a different psych ward?

Ya was almost to hot to sleep at all in our ward. And no i wasent switched to a different psych ward when i went voluntary
 
Why did you decide to go back to that hell hole

I didnt you either stay "voluntarily" or they send the cops to your house to get you. Had i not been psychotic and had i actually been thinking what i would have done is grab some zyprexa and clonazepam and go into my cabin until i was no longer psychotic. Just 10mg of zyprexa and 1mg of clonaz stopped my last psychotic episode.

Ah gotcha how did they know you were psychotic?
 
Because i kept saying i was dead lol. However the first shrink i had hated me and thought it was fucking weed psychosis otr thats what she mentioned anyway
Ya igy what was going through your mind in psychosis that made you think you were dead?
 
About 7 months off invega sustenna now and music is starting to hit like pre injections again.
 
Im not sure it was just cotards syndrome. I thought i was in hell or purgatory
when I was in my psychosis I thought the psych ward was a place where people got judged either they die and go to heaven or hell, or theyre allowed to leave and go back to earth in my psychotic state I thought I was sent there cause the system caught onto me being a criminal (I’m not a violent criminal but in my delusional state I thought I was cause I thought playing video games meant you were controlling another world and I played lots of shooter games) and they would decide my fate I thought they were trying to send me to hell one of the guards walked up to me and was like “Merek you know were supposed to throw you out the window right” he said it in a calm tone like they wouldn’t do it if I cooperated with them, that shit made me believe my delusions even more it felt like some people there could read my mind I do believe some humans have the ability to read other peoples minds but only a select few some people might think I’m psychotic saying that but there was just too many incidents like for example I thought in my mind I think this guys mad at me cause of something I did and every time I thought of that he’d say out loud “you think I care about that bro” it happened like 10 times, there was also a few times where I had the delusion in my head that I was gonna change the world but it felt so hard to do so I’d think in my head “maybe all this shit isn’t worth it” then these two guys would look at me every time and throw their arms up like they were so disappointed.

Question to everyone: Where do I go to hand out my psychiatric directive ?
Local police station? Hospital?
What have people here done previously? And did it work?
As far as I know, you hold on to your directive and present it to the hospital or doctors if you are ever admitted. I gave my mom a copy just in case I am unable to communicate for myself. I'm pretty sure that handing out your directive before anything is happening would be futile and it would probably just get tossed in the garbage.

I was referred to a website call MyDirectives and it is very useful. It is mainly for medical advance directives but you have the option of uploading a PDF of your mental health advance directive. It allows you to choose 1, 2, 3, or however many other people to be able to view and/or print the directive in case you find yourself incapacitated. It's a free service so I don't think there will be a problem posting a link here since no one will profit from it.
 
When I move my right arm in certain ways, the injection site hurts all of a sudden. What does that mean?
Did this ever happen to any of you?

this happened too me too recently but it went away, I think that means that the invega is almost completely out of your muscle and your muscle is used to having the drug in it so you might feel a little bit of pain, when it was happening to me it was when there was basically none left in my system I would get this weird buzzing feeling in my arm with a little bit of pain.
 
It's impossible for me to get back to the gym with the lack of appetite that I'm having, I'm barely eating. When should I expect this side effect to subside?

I had this lack of appetite(but I forced myself to eat) until around 13 months off, then it suddently fully went away. Weird how it stayed that long.
 
Maybe it wont take longer, but time for body to get rid of 8 shots out of body is not x4 longer than to rid of 2 shots, it is most likely x1.5 longer.
Yeah, it's not directly increases I think.
So 2 years from now I'll most likely be fully recovered?
My patience for listening to videos has improved quite significantly, but still I don't have any desires.

I’d say 2 years off the injections you should be fully recovered not 2 years from now.
