Am I still welcome here? I really enjoy talking with you. My journey has been long, and it turns out that the ADHD medication, Concerta, brought me a real, very real change… Today was my first time trying it — and for the first time in about 10 years, I feel SO calm and got more done than usual.
Am I bothering you?
Do I get annoying?
I’ve had psychosis in the past, but I can’t always share the same kind of experiences as you.
I’ll be waiting for an honest answer.
many have also felt they might be no longer welcome, i personally havent had symptoms in a long time and while my experience is fading i still feel this is a good place, i enjoy your posts, the goal of sz and psychosis spectrum related things is to get to that point you have reached, to be able to breathe. it is motivational and uplifting and hopefully as time goes on more can reach it,
i think you should stay,
tbh i dont really browse the sz sza or unusual beliefs topics as much as many are focused on recovery and self improvement, living after these experiences and bettering life.
Such kind words… truly, thank you. @cigarino it made my day.
I swear, during the first years of my remission, I had no idea I would come this far. But I did.
If anyone ever feels hurt or sad, feel free to message me privately.
I’m not a professional — but I want to be someone you can lean on.
@Ninjastar said if you’ve had psychosis you’re welcome here.
I still question my schizophrenia diagnosis but I think I’ve had psychosis in the form of some religious delusions.
Anyone who has had psychosis is welcome here.
I enjoy your posts and I like you
You are more than welcome here.
I feel a bit silly because this isn’t the first time I’ve asked whether I’m welcome here. Accepted.
But a couple of times, some members have said things to me that made me feel like an egotist, like having problems made me selfish — or worse, like I was pretending.
I really value this forum and have found many kind-hearted people here.
@LilyoftheValley @Dogslife
You are more than welcome here. 
Hugs. @GrayBear
Not everyone has good people skills. And some people just simply are not kind people. Try to let it go. If certain people are like that with you more than once, block them. It’ll give you peace of mind to not be reading rude posts anymore
I’ve been here 15 years and while I don’t always relate to experiences here I’ve always felt welcome
Absolutely! And you can meet such people in real life too. Sometimes you can be the most open, least secretive person about your life… and still, many will say very hurtful, offensive things behind your back — and some will even say unpleasant things to your face. @LilyoftheValley
I’m glad — I do feel accepted by most people here. But I won’t lie, not everyone is truly happy to have me around.
In any case, that’s normal. @Ish
You are free just like anyone here to be yourself
Don’t feel you have to bend to any sort of opinion
If it helps you to talk through please don’t worry
We all need support
I have had lots of help here in the past and I try to help where I can
Of course you’re still welcome here. I don’t answer a lot of your posts but I read them regularly and I see you’re open and honest and that’s very admirable. You don’t cause any trouble and you get along with a lot of the people on here. All this makes you a good member and that means you should stay.
Thank you all.
And @77nick77 that means a lot.
Today I’m still flying… I’ve never felt this way — actually looking forward to the next morning.
I found out that the maximum dose of Concerta is 72 mg, and I need to come to terms with the fact that more simply isn’t allowed. Today I took 36 mg. My doctor instructed me to monitor how I feel and notice what effect each dosage has.
I don’t know how many months of my life I spent feeling irritated or angry for no reason… and today, everything is OK!
You’re not annoying. You shouldn’t worry about censoring your posts. The honest ones are the most interesting.
I also believe that honesty is the most important thing… and that kind of blunt, even sort of “raw” honesty is the most interesting! Thank you.
@devra
Course your welcome you nut lol. All of us think that - when we post something and dont get any replies, you got to remember members are spread over different time zones, so what you post - that you may think is urgent for a reply, sometimes wont get one for a couple of hours, cos they are in bed lol.
Lol. Im prone to do that on here, and it gets me in trouble sometimes
Dont worry - speak as you find. Some people simply need telling it how it is on here. Your not helping them, by massaging their ego.
And I really like what you write. My father, who raised me, taught me to truly value straightforward people — because they’re as rare as gold. I’m learning to speak honestly myself, but without being hurtful.
Thank you 
I do have my moments lol.
