Taking my meds, and realizing I need to
I recently completed one of my courses for college. (It’s competency based so you can test out of the course whenever you feel ready)
I took a shower and I'm having a beer with my grandma, my days have been pretty good for the most part, i sleep through the bad days. I'm starting to accept that I'm gonna have good days and bad days, and that I'm not gonna have great days every day as much as I'd like to. I hope everyone else is doing well and taking their meds <3
Thanks for that. Good days and bad days are normal and Just accepting that is okay! I feel like the light bulb was switched on! 😁
Taking meds and my cognition getting worse
Just missed a big meeting because I didn't recheck the location. Aphantasia. Guessing it's the reason I haven't had as much psychosis over the years.
Also, can we get a research button or something to filter for researchers? I've been trying to reach people, but it always gets lost in the stack. I've got documentation of my personal VR therapy and Written Exposure Therapy, but I'm only diagnosed with "temporary schizophrenia via marijuana" from last year. In America. Our healthcare system stinks =X
Im just a girl trying to heal from trauma and psychosis, and everything has been going wrong lately and every interaction I have had with others is exhausting and I have had intense akathisia for months and its so overwhelming I am constantly feeling like my cells are exploding and I constantly feel trapped inside and like Im just dissappointing to others (run on sentence). I am jobless and very isolated. I just wish I wouldnt make others uncomfortable and that I could be more care free and have clear thinking again. But its been a nightmare honestly.
Having some trouble with delusions that were triggered by the new Steven Spielberg movie trailer. This is the worst timing because I don't have a therapist until January, nor a psychiatrist til then either
I don't even know if i have schizophrenia and won't know for months. Only seen the psychiatrist once. I want Christmas and hopefully my birthday (later December) out of IP, but others are calling things delusions that aren't and I'm scared they'll put me in even though I'm fine. I feel like an unreliable narrator whenever I'm at any medical appointment because I'm gonna report the foremost symptoms right now, not an overall. I'm just. I dunno. Am I allowed here even though I don't have a diagnosis and may never get one if the psychiatrist thinks it isn't schizophrenia? I don't know if i think it is or not.
