I sympathise. I was never put on these shots, but I had neurodevelopmental disorders and it really sucked watching others seem to get ahead whilst I faltered and felt left behind.

Other people also didn't have all these fucked up neurological issues that I seem to have. It's why I decided to end my life if I suffer another major sudden hearing damage episode - which, by the way is NOT caused by noise, that's an external thing, this thing is an internal problem that I absolutely have no control over, and at that doctors won't even bother to help they just tell me it's out of their hands when I know deep down what is causing this shit and that it's going to be over for me someday soon.

I watch these other people with their seemingly drama-free and trouble-free lives (that's not 100% true) but it IS true compared to the shit I'm constantly dealing with, which I know is going to end my life for me anyway.

I have a friend with hearing loss and I just want you to know it's possible to adjust to being deaf. It's hard, but life is still worth living. Get a hearing aid if if it will help you.

Does anyone else have severe memory loss?

I have memory loss from 1/ the anti-epileptic drugs I've taken (valproate, carbamazepine, lamotrigine), 2/ the two covid infections and 3/ the hydrocephalus that I recently had surgery for. I might add 4/ lots of anxiety and depression might have contributed too.
 
Hello everyone, which is more harmful to be on risperdone or olanzapine, isn't risperdone supposed to be the weakest antipsychotic?

Nowhere near normal no. Been waking up at like 1-2pm since injection, sleeping a lot. Today I woke up naturally at 8am for the first time. Sleep still feels off, don't feel rested etc
 
i’m trying to figure out if this is bcuz of invega or my family
do u judge yourself more? do u think you’re not capable and tell yourself bad things? were u always like this did it increase after invega or after u were treated badly bcuz of invega

also how are your social skills
 
I wish I didn't have PSSD, I wish it would just go away. I'm erogenously numb again after smoking weed over a span of two weeks. I have faith it will come back, it always does, sometimes better than before the weed crash.

I have been feeling an increase in emotion again lately, back to that 85% in my signature. It doesn't stay constant. I'm sure if I can just 100% quit smoking weed I'll heal up faster. I can feel more stress and anxiety.

I have to find a way to exercise again through the snowy dark months, I really believe exercise helped.
 
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recovery journey to give hope to anyone going through something similar. I was on Vega (paliperidone palmitate) injections for about 11 months, starting at 150mg and then 100mg, but I stopped them at the end of 2022. The first few months were challenging, but I gave my mind and body time to heal. About eight months later, I felt 90% recovered, which was incredible, and this motivated me to start working on a dream project—building my own website. Over the last three years, I’ve fully recovered and even launched a company that I coded myself, line by line. It’s amazing how resilient the mind is when you trust the process, stay patient, and focus on something meaningful. Recovery is possible, and I hope my story inspires others to believe in themselves, no matter how tough the road seems.
 
I have to put early menopause/perimenopause out of my mind. My FSH and AMH were completely normal and not indicative of menopause when I had it tested last year, I am nowhere NEAR that, but being low in estrogen and progesterone really trips me out. I'm sure it has improved since then since I resumed menstruation, but my cycles are long. It's probably because of PCOS/high testosterone. I'm on Metformin now so I hope it all evens out. Metformin isn't doing anything bad to my PSSD and I made cognitive gains throughout November when I started it.

I was just standing in my kitchen crying and getting frission about how much I love art. I was thinking about all of the holiday stop-motion films I love.

I judge myself more and not capable of things. I tell many bad things naturally.

I wasn't like this.

social skill dropped to bottom.

I always had fun topics to talk about with my girlfriend before but now we are almost breaking up.

I think hormones are more than just brain thing, it also acts as something connector of some kind.

I can't connect deeply with any people.

I was always confident about my situation even in the hard situation, trying to figure out solution, but now I still try to figure out solution but I become so pessimistic about myself and can't go further from it. I feel like I will live a low life forever even after recovery.

I am trying not to think that way but it is so hard.

Try soy milk: women who take a glass of soy milk every day enter menopause at 65 instead of 45.

I'm only 30 so I'm not super worried. Do you have a source for that information? That seems a little absurd.
