Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

It feels so strange to never get tired now, I have to just intentionally go to bed and sleep

I don't get hunger or thirst signals either, nor the sensation of being full

I don't really feel tired either—just a slight drowsiness late at night. My sleep schedule is still completely off, and I can't fall asleep before midnight. My sense of hunger only started coming back recently, and even then it's very faint. I don't know when all of this will recover, but I'm really hoping to see some kind of progress, because this isn't living—it's just existing, or a poor imitation of life.
 
Perhaps this experience is meant to teach all of us to appreciate our emotions and the freedom to express them. I realize now how carefree I was before all of this happened—getting involved with the wrong people and placing my trust in those who didn't deserve it. Looking back, I think I would have been the happiest person in the world simply living a quiet, peaceful life. Back then, I had no idea how precious it was just to be healthy, not to spend months waiting to recover. I was so happy, and it's heartbreaking to realize that I didn't truly understand or appreciate it. Instead, I wasted my energy worrying about trivial things. I guess you only truly understand the value of something when you have something to compare it to. This has been the most painful lesson I could have learned
