No. Recovery is not something my previous doctors believe in. I consider my recovery from psychiatric care more important than my recovery for PTSD as I've lived with it for 20 years & know how to manage it.

I've just started looking at Drug or MH forums recently & this is my first engagement with a MH Forum.

I used to work in Harm Reduction & know Bluelight as a Drug resource from that time.

I've done plenty of work around recovery with clients in my former role in the Drug & Alcohol field but I had a breakdown after becoming burned out & left the sector.

I was working with dysfunctional clients & coming home to dysfunctional neighbours with the same drug & MH issues as my clients - eventually I realised the work I did was meaningless because I was harming myself by trying to "manage" the violence at the Home situation, being insanely resilient & doing it for too long - everyone has a breaking point & violence should not be managed but bought to an end...

Something my society & professional field of expertise don't do well & refuse to improve on, so I got out of that area of work & got an eviction order on the neighbour

that just seems like so much shit to do on invega. like im focked. i dont even think we have the same shit going on im almost 14 months off my last injection what is holding you back now?
 
I exercised today and after doing dips I felt tingles in chest and than wierd iritabile feeling at position of heart started, similar to anexiety but worse, like something is tickling you with feather in heart. It is still present. Wtf is that shit? When you add anexiety to that shit, death seems like mercy.
 
Is it possible that my social skills could become worsened by ap's and having blunted emotions or could that simply be related due other factors (I take Ritalin, it is known to blunt emotions, but is was never so severe as I have to experience as now).
Or im autistic or smth or add idfknow
Or introverted idfcare by now. No one understands I feel like or I do fake it hahah
Or ik overthinking this whole situation... Need a rest I guess

I had no face swelling. I feel akathisia or anexiety only when I try to sit without doing anything.

Hi, I used to read these forums to give me hope while I was coming off abilify injections, there was one man who had 10 injections of invega and was almost recovered after a year and another who had 7 injections and completely recovered. I recovered after 7 months but unfortunately I had another psychotic episode due to psychological reasons now I have to go through another 6 months coming off Olanzapine injection, I know you guys think nothing is worse than invega and I agree as I've had the pills, but still I'm going through all the same side effects that antipsychotics cause due to blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors. Nothing interests me, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to socialise with people as I don't feel myself. I can't keep fit, everything is dull etc etc etc. It's just a waiting game until the drug is out of my system which will probably be 7 months. All up I will be affected by antipsychotics for 1 1/2 years. Its terrible but you do get back to your previous self, in the meantime I'm in limbo.

It is prescribed for my narcolepsy (sleep disorder)
But sadly now due the antipsychotics I can't benefit from the increased concentration and executive function (I also have ADHD) due the impact on the dopamine receptors the ap's have, still after a year of discontinuation of the ap's.

Exercise,meditation,good diet,positive thinking, good sleep,entertainment(yt,videogames,etc),socializing,etc re what keeps me going. But sadly I don't enjoy them as I would before taking the ap's.

But comparing it to one year ago my cognition,motivation,memory,anhedonia,etc have improved.

I still feel my IQ dropped

I now take driving licenses. My spatial awareness is still dramately fucked. But it got better

Legit I surpressed and coped saying it was stress, by removing the surpressoon everything made sense on why I struggled with tasks,conversationd,etc
 
i am embarassed with what ive posted here. i know i was suffering but i knew the whole time i should have been quiet. i would say i can take over the world now but im still only really believing every third word i say. i might die retaking my throne in vancouver because A it is very dangerous already and B im not quite as solid as i was before. but i am about to go back to the city and bleed in to them and once i am really powerful i will destroy the psychiatrist who gave me paliperidone to the point she will need a psychiatrist. i was misdiagnosed and plotted against for being too unbelievable. il have her sucking my dick and crying asking herself "why am i so fucked up?" and il treat her like a whore that will never meet anyone as real as me and il purposely keep her in the doghouse and make people throw shit at her forever
