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.

Yeah thats a lot of it. But its not like you can really explain yourself to people about your situation either. Like what am i just supposed to tell people at work i was at a mental hospital snd i got put on some pills that just fucked me up and now im waiting to recover from them.

Like if you tell that to the average person they will just think your crazy and it will make no sense to them. Like its not healthy to keep things bottled up inside. But this is something that you kind of have to keep bottled up inside. Also, its hard to meet folks that can understand. Most people are very pro psychiatry and mental health. Very few people outside of the people who took the meds think these meds think these meds are bad.

In fact there are some people who gave taken these meds and they think the meds are "helping them" even though they seem messed up on them.

Yeah it’s a weird grey line a lot of times. That’s a good point it’s almost kind of embarrassing looking at our situation from the outside because no one thinks these medicines can do this type of damage. But it literally restructures our entire brain into this very dulled down version of ourselves that can’t really form opinions easily or have conversations with others. It’s like taking the spark out of us and turning us into just people that survive instead of actually experiencing the full spectrum of what life has to offer. I wish more people were aware of just the amount of damage psychiatry can cause to someone who’s misdiagnosed (like myself). I would even argue that the majority of street drugs are safer than drugs like invega at least they eventually wear off and you’re able to return to a state of normal. These Long Acting Injections are so unethical in my opinion. Nothing should literally restructure or disable your brain chemistry. It’s just pure evil. We’re losing so much time of our lives to these so called “medicines”.

Yes I would like to know more details. How long after quitting did you start losing weight? And how much did you lose?

After quitting it took a month to see the scale number lower. For every month that passed I would drop 10 lbs. I would say total so far it has been between 35-40 lbs dropped (its a rough estimate not exact)

That’s really good! It’s been 6 months since I quit the drug and I’m still waiting to lose weight.
Have you gotten your period back?

Yup. Imagine how i feel now thats its my 3rd rodeo. It just pisses me off that you can be forced to take these "medications" against your will. Thats why i really want to move out and just be living on my own. I dont want my parents to just be able to call the cops on me and get me dragged in a mental hospital so i can get some psychistrist and security guards forcinga injections on me.

On a side note. Ive decided i want to start working out. Im weighing like 200 now which is a bit too much. Its kind of hard to ezercise given that the gyms are all closed and its damn cold outside.
 
Just do push ups for now. In sets like this...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

You may have to start only going up to 5. Do them on your knees if you have to. Then raise to 15, 20, 25, etc. Once you can do up to 25 and back down, you should be pretty built.

Then get a pull up bar and do the same.

You can use 2 chairs and do dips. Can also use a chair and work your triceps.

Before you know it will be march and you can do some jogging. Even better cycling.

The TRX is good. Unfortunately not a single fucking door in this apartment I can use it on. But really push ups and pull ups (among countless exercises that nothing is needed for them, just a little space is all). is all you need for a bit.
 
Hello bros and sis.. Have no time to read much atm, kind of healed, money has made me different :D like thousands of ideas and figures in mind. But u people stay close.. What else... Ya! The *blink* moment. Started growing some weed, they're pushing it slowly, also gonna grow non-stop can't wait for summer it's winter here now..LOL, gonna setup some outdoors, i got 15 seeds something ( if u did care, had to tell anyways). Quick summary: Psychedelics was answer for me while progress of healing, i don't suggest it but if you really are a free thinker that probably will help you on your journey. Should change my name because i really was (read my name) now i am over it even my internal analogue isn't hearing me. Happy x-mas and new years.. Tbc...

My parents think invega is the greatest thing ever. It shut me up and made it easier to control my life. They don't know I haven't taken it since may. My dad gets drunk and tells me how stupid I am and calls me a retard. My grandpas a psychologist( was he committed suicide) but said my dad and I never got along because when I was a kid I was smarter than him. My dad loves to tell me I have a low IQ and says I just sit there like a retard. Guess what thanks to invega that drunken idiot is smarter than me. Duck this drug. I'm glad my grandpa doesn't have to see this. It would destroy him.

I can relate to that. My parents basically dont like it when i complain about the medication. There also happy that it shut me up and stuff. Im not quite sure how they think your taking it even though your not. Did your parents force you on the meds? If so you should come jp with a gameplan to move out.

The part about being alot easier to control sounds really relatable. Its like if i behave a certain way they think "im acting crazy again" so it feels like were muzzled
 
Man have less chance to recover from this shit or what ? when you see malakof, dirty invega, hav0ck, scorpion park... that don’t recover after many years it’s scary

It's very scary mate.

I did have a little bit of breakthrough few months ago I went to the doctors and had my zinc and iron levels checked and they both seriously deficient i had to have iv iron infusion (which is rare in men) and that defs improved my energy levels and my strength - that was three months ago and not much has really improved for me in the past few years. it is what is it... the past is the past and I cannot get back what was taken from me.

I just care for my son which is nearly one year old in Feb.

Im impressed to hear you were able to create and take care of a son even though you got wrecked by these meds. Why did you end up getting put on invega sustenna?

Perhaps you may want to try sueing, although it would be difficult to prove it was the meds that harmed you.
