It absolutely does feel permanent while you're experiencing it, but please remember that it isn't. In a few months you'll feel different, and after a year you'll most likely be completely back to normal.

I read that this Invega releases for up to 126 days so I’m just counting down that hoping something changes. I’m almost there for the first shot and the second shot is still another 2 months. Just wish I could chill like I used to, now everyday I feel compelled to walk around especially to the shops even though I don’t need anything.

know it's hard to do but, you have to stay positive, it's been studied that more than 30 minutes a day of complaining, in the long run, shrinks the brain and makes you go into depression, I advise you to find something to do in the months too long down, because otherwise you lose all your muscles and then it's even harder to start working again and do everything, today I'm going to talk to go back to the kitchen to work, I'm a little scared, in the last two years I've been a waiter because I no longer felt like myself, strong, decisive, now I intend to try to go back to the kitchen again, another piece of advice, be careful when the emotions come back because they will be very strong, if you are sad you will be more sad, angry? you will also be happier too, be careful because everything will come back

i doubt they will come back
 
You know what sucks is that 99% of what I think about is the injections, what went on at the hospital and if I’ll ever get better again. I used to think about all sorts of stuff and make plans and be excited about things. Everything is so much effort now. Really thought I would’ve been making progress by now.

How long are you off the injections?
 
Does anyone else feel like their normal self in dreams? It’s so weird feeling normal then waking up. I’m hoping this means it’s the invega causing this feeling and not depression, man it feels hopeless thinking about this and death all the time…

Yes I feel normal in my dreams. Then when i wake up it comes back. I'm a little over 3 months from last injection I feel some improvement. My belief in God went away at first but it has returned. I have faith in the healing process, its gonna happen. Take care.

I am also myself in dreams. Like nothing of this happened and then I wake up and horror is back.

I never lost faith in God. He didnt do this people did. I keep faith as well, but as the days go by, im getting more tiered.

Are you completely back to normal?

Yeah, I can't think of any side effects I'm still having at this point. I'd thought I was recovered at 8 months because I was feeling good, but it turned out I could feel even better.

I have no idea why some people don't seem to recover after a year. I really wish there was proper research on it.
 
My dad has no friends and last weekend i did not talk to him at all or call him bc i was working and annoyed with him.
He was “concerned with me” and wanted my to start another antipsychotic because he thought i was being “paranoid and entering psychosis”

Cause they mistake their underlying misery with drugs side effects. Most been put on a shot for a reason while going through something. I know it from myself.

Really easy to say that but I have had psychosis 3 times and I refused antipsychotic treatment each time. I was able to bounce back pretty quickly and always started working again within a couple months. Always did well at my jobs. Honestly had no lasting effects from mood stabilizers other than having a lowered ability to be creative but it was small compared to what is going on now. After they put me on these antipsychotics I have not been able to bounce back or even think. It’s been 7 months for me, almost no improvement.

Antipsychotics are the only drugs in existence known to lower gray matter volume. They cause brain damage. It’s futile to tell people it’s “other issues” when you’re talking about people who’ve suffered brain damage from an archaic and inhumane torture. It is truly no different than a lobotomy.
 
Guys 10-18 months is the threshold of healing , everything before that is survival

Friendly reminder

Day 280 over here
 
Is bad news affecting anyone a lot more than it used to? I used to hear about someone dying and think oh well, but now I keep dwelling on the subject. I read that some people had a blank mind with no thoughts, and I wonder if it's people that kept their ability to think like I did that can't heal because they've been trapped in their mind since day 1.
 
It can be trauma from forced hospitalization and drugging too... Many injections will fuck you up but most of yall here had few. I know that it wouldnt be that big of a deal in my case if not for underlying issues and trauma and invalidation that they did this to me instead talk with me.
