So i realized some things that are beginning to wake me up (thus im a little less blunted, happier, etc).
This combo makes me feel like reading or doing more “passive” activities but also looking forward to using my hands when i get out of hospital.
Im really not sure about my family. They are the main, most distressing symptom i have. I hope they love me as much as i love them, that would make life so good.
This is day 4 in hospital. Im going to most groups and am talking to some patients when i feel up to it. I even initiate conversation with them. All previous times in hospital i hid in my room.
They put me on olanzapine 10 mg x2 and ativan 1mg x2.
I am now on abilify, olanzapine, escitalopram, vyvanse, and ativan.
Like i said in my last thread, i really think im beginning to wake up. Thank all of you that put up with me on here. You guys are one of my biggest supports, and someone on here is always there practically 24/7, sz.com is an amazing tool for coping with sz. Love ya guys! Stay awesomesauce!
I’ve been on olanzapine for 12 years. It’s good to me.
I’m glad you went for help. It shows that you still have some common sense peeking through the haze of mental illness.
They use to but nowadays they trust me when i say i dont get worse pos symptoms from stims. Yeah this unit made the change to allowing phones on unit a couple years ago. You can use a laptop to but only when off unit and it has to be held in a locker when its on the unit.
This is a really good psych ward, most of the nurses are great.
Oh i would love to get into woodworking. Even going so far as to be a cabinet maker would be a lot of fun i think. Its hard doing woodworking though in canada because of all the long winters and i dont have a garage. Not sure what i will do yet thats hands on…was thinking learning about wilderness survival skills at one point.
