Yes, I lost all my weight back in my clothes. I didn’t believe anyone who said I would lose the weight but I did. I went from 145lbs to 117lbs. Starting losing month 8 to 9

i hope to see the same results. i need to lose weight ASAP. i hate being this fat. I gained 65 pounds in total.
 
Since Invega is not my first detoxification and not even the possibly worse obsticle in my life i had, (guess i have already the strenght) forcing myself to go at least 1 hour a day for a walk has become normal to me.
Sure i don't go out 7/7 days out in a week, but i try to do as many as i can, because i know the benefits of it.
When you don't force yourself to do walks, and you stay in bed all day, your body will take revenge.
Instead, we should try to walk as much as we can. For people who are not used to go walking, you will get used to it, by doing it over and over again. After a year i got used to it. Before that even the smallest paths became long. For example i remember walking home from the bus station. That would take 6 minutes in total. That was long for my standards back then.
Now i walk that exact way like it is nothing.
I got to used to walk 2, 3 hours without a break nowdays. And i believe it plays a role in the recovery process.
I simply don't walk for fun. I do it, cause i have to. I was always disciplined though. That was never a problem to me, cause i always knew it will pay off some day.

Yeah thats what happens. Like your off the medication but you still feel like shit for a good year or so.

Hey so i just wanted to talk about my situation a bit. So basically i was living in another town far from my family. Living in my own for a good 8 months, busting ass at work. All that, so then my roomate was moving. So i had to find a new place. I guess i got all stressed by that and i was hearing things again. My parents kind of found out and came to pick me up from the place i was living at and suggested i move back for like 3 months. Then go back to where i was. So i kind of agreed since i was kind of studying for a higher position in my field. So i thought it would go more easily if i could not work and only study. So then i would be able to complete the exam faster, and get that higher position.

So i moved back with my parents, and 2 weeks after i moved, they called the cops on me and got me on a court treatment order which forced me into a mental hospital and i ended up having to get pills in the hospital. Also injections after i left once a month for 3 months. So i think my last injection was in june but im still feeling the effects from them. Weak mind, no energy. You all know what im talking about

So its like...my parents got me on these meds when i just moved back with them even though my plan was to only live there for 3 months. So in the state im in now i cant just simply move out of my parents place since i dont have the energy to hold a full time job and cook and all that.

So its like its such bullshit. Like im really mad at myself for deciding to move back in with my parents. I never would have moved back in with them if i knew they were planning to make me go to a mental hospital and go on medications.

So now my situation is annoying. Right now im simply saving money, which can help. But i am also mainly just waiting to recover again.

This is the 3rd time now of me getting put on meds and waiting around to recover, all just to end up on meds again a year or so later. So its just annoying and im wasting time and just getting older. Also, i cant use my time well like study something since these meds make it so i cant think and all.

I’m a 11 months off 4 shots of invega poisoning and I’m still not a 100 percent. This sucks ass badly. I have improved a lot but I was bedridden for 9 months and I’m trying to build my strength back but I’m still weak and I mean really weak. My emotions are back but let me tell you they are full as hell. I had strong emotions before Invega I’m disappointed that I’m not my old self yet. I’m afraid I won’t become who I was and become this person I don’t know. Ugh. To you invega sufferers good luck and stay strong. Hold on. GODSPEED ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, listen it is soooooooo slow so be prepared my invega sufferers. Listen the forum is for hope and please hang on. If you ever need to talk or text my number is 9102583160 . Trust me when invega was strong in me I called and texted survivors. No one knows what you are going threw and your family won’t no matter how much you explain it’s a waste of time. I’m been this shit invega. I’m still fighter the war ughhhh. I’m had people contact me and yes I will answer text first and just say invega and I will respond and you want to hear from me I will call. Improvements are happening even if you don’t feel or see it. It’s gradual I mean you won’t even know you’re getting better until you start noticing your doing things again. Movies and music are pre invega. I love music, but yes my strength is low and I’m weak but nothing like at the start of invega. I’m no longer bedridden. You will make it. I just want to be 100 percent. If you read my post I was begging fora cure or hope. Please I know death feels better even I said so, but I have two boys and you need a purpose to fight the biggest battle in your life. My sons eventhough I didn’t love them or care about them because invega stoked my emotions I knew I love them before and I be damn if I’m going to let Invega make me take my life. Yes I attempted suicide once threw invega and yes they sent back to the hospital but please hold on. I’m fighting beside you. Fuck Invega that stupid bitch. You will make it I promise, but remember it won’t happen overnight. Stay strong. I know it seems impossible but re read my post and now read this post. Recovery is real. To the ones that didn’t make it I’m so sorry, please don’t give up guys. GODSPEED ❤️❤️❤️. Call or text I’m here with you

Yeah about that whole walking thing. Yeah ive done that the last two days. Go on hour long walks. In order to not be bored during it i downloaded some podcast i can listen to while doing the walk. If i was at home i would be listening to the podcast while laying in bed. This way though im at least getting some exercise. In case your wondering its a bill burr podcast.

Yeah im not liking how much i started to weigh after the injection. Before i was at like 170 something and now im at 200. I dont think the injection just made me fat. More like ive been spending too much time not moving and being in bed, also ive been getting lots of sweet cravings.

Only problem with the walks is that its really cold outside. Like i was dressed warm outside. Even wore two joggers. But after that hour walk when i came back home i was real cold.

I plan to just do the walks for now. Like gyms are closed now so i cant go to gyms even if i want to. Its a pretty easy form of exercise and should overall help either way.

But man what a shitstorm. Being on meds and doing with this covid and there lockdowns and everything. Not as easy situation

Hey quick question bro. When you recovered the first time... did you get feelings of euphoria and happy feelings when you smoked weed again? Or was it just voices?

Yeah i could get euphoris from weed. Like after risperidone when i smoked weed it made me impaired but it didnt give me that nice high. After some time though i was able to get high from weed.
 
Out of curiosity is anyone working while trhing to recover. I am but im just like sad at work. Im glad i get to wear a mask to cover my face. But ive heard ppl remark at work that i look sad all the time.

Ljke its a pretty mindless job so i can do it. Plus i wanna have money so i xan move away from my family. Like my family pisses me off putting me on these meds. Like id moge out already but the drugs fuck you up.

I personally don’t work and that’s one of the reasons. I feel sad all the time because I feel like I’m missing out on the full potential of life. like I can’t feel emotions fully and have good conversations with people and have good friendships so I always seem sad. It just feels like we’re on autopilot and just surviving till our feelings and mental capacity comes back.
