5 shots. Emotions came back gradually in the first 3-4 months though it felt like I was super sensitive to negative emotions when I first started feeling again, anger came with prickling skin sensations which I think may have been withdrawal but either way I was just glad to feel. To begin with it was mostly negative emotions I was feeling but now it’s all balanced out and I’d say my emotions are back to normal.

Iam on my phone so I will have to reply individually sorry.
I don't really know. I guess just trying my hardest, even though I was chemically depressed, I still lived my life as normal, went to work, still listened to music even if it didn't sound great etc. I vape nicotine everyday as I have for the past 4-5 years. Being young as well helped I think. I had no success with st John's wort. Any other substances only provided short term relief for a few days. I also stayed physically active this whole time.

Please what are the other substances that provided relief

What symptoms do you still have? Which ones have improved? And which ones have fully healed? Also how old are you if you don't mind me asking
 
41 days since my last injection. My head and body felt a little lighter and less lobotomised. Not sure if I will feel like this tomorrow maybe it's just today. It could be placebo as I know the levels of the drug in my blood will be decreasing now.

Still drinking around 3-4 pints of raw milk a day and having very hot baths which cause me to sweat profusely. I've recovered from abilify pills before so I hope my brain knows what to do this time round.

Every day is tough but I tell myself to keep moving forward. Been going out with my parents and playing some BO6 to distract myself.

Again if anyone from EU wants to play BO6 or BO7 when it comes out hmu. Would love to have others to play with who understand this suffering.

I'm 24. Sorry to hear you still are effected by invega. At least you have some good improvements to make life easier. Keep going and hopefully everything will come back like it did for me.
 
My bloodwork came back today at <1ng/mL. I wish it showed one more unit of precision since there could be a big difference between .9ng/mL and .1ng/mL.

I don’t understand how some of you are fully healing in mere months. I’m 10 months out and I feel some progress but not nearly enough… I still can’t cry and my brain doesn’t work like it used to. I’ve gained 30 lbs and my body has changed so much too but I’m mainly worried about my brain.

I’ve probably gained about the same amount of weight. Have you been taking supplements?

You’re not done for. Have you been taking supplements? Keeping hydrated and eating well? Daily walks?
That’s good you’ve had improvements, maybe emotions will be the last thing to come back for you and that’s okay, everyone’s different.

You’re welcome. I’ve drank so much herbal tea since coming off the shots including teas with Australian bush medicine in it. I think you should try some fish oil supplements and maybe even a vitamin b complex supplement and see how you go with them, completely up to you of course, I just think it could help.

Congrats on your major improvements btw! Must feel great. I hope to improve as much as you have over the next 6 months.

Thanks❤️ I thought it was going to take a year atleast to get to where I’m at now but here I am thankfully. I hope you see similar improvements in the next 6 months🤞 keep your thoughts positive and be gentle/ patient with yourself🙏🏼
 
I am so tired of this. I am miserable. All of my joy and natural instincts have been taken. This drug is like a parasite that sucks all of your happiness away.

I don’t want to just learn how to live with this new normal and accept what I’ve lost. I don’t want this life at all. I understand why @brokenself did what he did because if I had the chance I would do it too

I’m glad you are all able to find some meaning and reason to stay alive- I just don’t relate. I have no desire to continue living anymore. I just want the pain to end

I hope we can both heal from this nightmare. It’s scary as I have had six injections, but I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference. Do you feel partially recovered at all in any way, or the same as you felt while on the injections?

I’ll buy BO7 when it comes out. I got a PS4 but it’s cross-gen and cross-play. Probably the last iteration of games that will be cross-gen for PS4 & PS5
