I once felt like you before it’ll be fine buddy

I like your optimism, Fly... It's been 18 months though. How long did this level of misery last for you? I don't know, Bro, I got a tough road to ho. Still working my way off two poison 'sleep' pills.
 
I used to love watching the World Cup. With this anhedonia, I don't get that feel good sensation and adrenaline from watching matches anymore so haven't watched anything.

Yeah, I've been watching the World Cup, but not much connection or excitement at all. Just passes time. I'm a NY Knicks fan & couldn't enjoy their championship. More losses from this med.
 
I was in a dark place by some water area. Then I had the ability to fly but another winged creature came out of the water and tried pursuing me. He was an evil entity/person. I was trying to escape but it eventually reached me and pinned me down, then I woke up.

Definitely not getting enough sleep, BC. I think I'd rather go back to little sleep than be on the meds... I'm definitely weaning off as quickly as I can. Interesting nightmare at least?

The strange thing is I don't feel tired at all when I get up, as if invega made my body require less sleep. I miss getting that tired feeling etc. This drug has so many negative traits to it, it's a nightmare...
 
My body was recovering at end of June with the right amount of sleep I needed and then boom, after the dose on 30th June I'm worse than square one
 
Guys I'm feeling so depressed. It's only been 15 days since my last shot but this feels like it's going to be my forever reality. Even my dreams are less vivid than before and I don't go into proper REM sleep. My body feels like damaged goods now.
 
The thing is I'm very awake and alert so it feels like this is my permanent state. If I had been bedridden it would have been better because there is more tangible healing to be done for the body. Now it feels like this is the new normal for me. I'm really scared guys. I don't know what to do....

itlll take 4-6 months everyone’s biology is different i’m scared too buddy i only get tired around night time in this ward and can sleep for a little, but im scared too that i can’t breathe but ive been through it before
 
When I look back at who I used to be I feel like such a diminished version of myself, like the person I would have hated becoming. This drug has turned me into my worst nightmare version of myself. Will I ever go back to my old self again?
 
I feel like a diminished version of myself just now due to invega as if the old, true version of myself is buried in the past. Will I ever go back to being the real me, or is he gone for good?

Are you able to sleep during the daytime at all? I haven't felt tired or been able to nap in what feels like forever ago.

Yes, I can sleep during the day, but not always. Sometimes I feel very sleepy during the day, but I still can't fall asleep. It varies from time to time...
