I dunno, Martin Luther has some interesting ideas in "The Bondage of the Will" that if you pray & surrender everything that God & his spirit takes over you without any will of yours whatsoever. I'm not saying you're wrong, but he's got some pretty powerful arguments against free will which in all honesty doesn't always work that well

He did base it off some things he read in the Bible and other forms of religion, I’m a spiritual person but I’m not very religious if that makes sense I personally don’t believe that, I believe in my own thing based on certain experiences I had, I do however believe that while on earth in your physical bodies free will is very limited as the system is very controlling, I think while we were in our spirit forms though we all decided to sign a contract to come to earth with our own free will to see if we could find spiritual growth here, I believe that traumas/challenges like being poisoned with invega, being shot, having cancer, etc change our perspective of reality/life and we know how it feels to lose everything but when it all comes back we have much more gratitude towards it and love and joy is much more meaningful if suffering is a thing.
 
I starting my first mouth off the injection/poison and already feel a small diff when I go for walks. everything is popping out at me a little more. does this improve?

Yes it will improve I also noticed this after I was off the injection for a month even when I was still taking the paliparadone pills, most people take longer too improve like that so it sounds like you’re gonna be just fine with fully recovering.

Why is everything looking like a ghost town?

Also when I go grocery shopping I never see the same people… while I live in a relatively small town.

There are statistical explanations for that. A "small town" still has thousands of people.

You may be experiencing derealisation. I always had similar thoughts when entering psychosis

Ya if I ever have an emergency I’d probably ask my psychiatrist for an abilify script either that or zyprexa.

Forget the abilify and go straight for zyprexa or quetapine.
Abilify is the worst of them all along with invega

I think that everyone nowadays is addicted to their phones & social media I had a period of time where I went for 3-4 months with no phone this was during psychosis/invega but despite that I definitely felt lots of benefits from it, I felt increased creativity and more joy in TV, exercise, drawing, reading books, and having real conversations with people face to face there was definitely more benefits but I can’t remember them all clearly since my memory in general was bad from psychosis, all the benefits of no phone went away after I took the injections though.

I don't have and don't use social media for years. I use phone ~1h daily for calls, SMS and whatsapp mainly for business. Right now I have no such benefits.
 
@Merek serotonine mood system recovers slower than dopamine system, this can make someone chase something more (like trying to win at gambling, trying to improve in sport, trying to improve at work, etc) while not having "its good enough" effect from the serotonine system while having some effect of dopamine which makes chase better to experience than result of chase.
 
How long after coming off palperidone did your labido return to pre injection levels. Do you still get morning wood like you did before or is it slightly less did it ever return to pre injection levels.

does creativity come back? after how long?

Yes man all of it is gonna come back if you already feel slightly better from taking walks just 1 month off the injection any question you have about something coming back as long as you don’t have permanent TD it will come back just give it time.

I feel this, once I started going into invega wd I craved drugs and anything addictive your brain just wants to fill the empty void basically, what has helped for me personally with that is micro dosing & occasionally macro dosing psychedelics as they act on 5-HT2a serotonin receptors and stimulate the D2 receptors but not as much as it stimulates serotonin, I also barely drink caffeine at all, caffeine increases dopamine but reduces serotonin activity so I only have it once every 2-4 weeks usually but I haven’t had it in 8 weeks as of today, I do these things and intense exercise to stimulate endorphins.
