That is true. Everyone on this forum have a common trait which is being diagnosed with schizophrenia and any other additional mental illnesses. However, not all humans get along which is why “rules” are established in this forum. Even I have to admit I have violated the rules and have been suspended for my statements.

My illness eventually progressed to angry outbursts, mostly to my loved ones, unfortunately. One thing that became a life changer is going back to Prozac and additionally, Lithium.
I understand where your coming from, because I have a lot of triggers that are seemingly random, but trigger me. I have found CBT therapy also helps.

I apologize @shutterbug . My anger was honestly OC. Not sure what’s going on…
Yea man… The anger was completely irrational. I think Im gonna cut back on coffee and see what happens. Being an ■■■■■■■ solves nothing…

I agree with limitations on caffeine. For me, all I needed was lithium and Prozac
I’ve heard a lot about lithium… might have to ask my p-doc. I already take an AP and planning to switch to vraylar in hopes of less positives and more calm…
I feel bad …a little bit about how I acted but I forget most people do t really give a crap. So that’s kind of a good thing for me

I get less belligerent when I’m a church function, so maybe try to find a group of people who like the same type of stuff.

My dads been a pretty angry guy his whole life, but ever since my parents got divorced, he hasn’t shown that much anger.
I got a little bit him in me, but without meds I’d be an even worse version of him.
My best advice is try not to let anger get control as soon as it begins.

That’s awesome man… I wish I could be around musicians and game devs but I’m terrified of people half the time. I wish I was more religious because I could maybe feel safe at church too. My MH team thinks I should join the local mental health clubhouse but I’m afraid of people disliking me or abusing me .
I think I might have to stop using the forum as a crutch and just throw myself out there. Some people are nice right?? Lol

Yea… I’ve learned that you really do have to control it indirectly or shut it down early. Once it’s going it OV…
Yeah, life is hard with these circumstances. But nothing easy is worth doing, so to me I had put one foot in front of the other and go with whatever life throws at me.
I know you can do it, too. I say that because I was completely catatonic for a full summer and it proceeded to me finishing high school. I had to relearn how to talk and show expressions. It was hard, but it’s absolutely worth doing. I’m lucky because all of the support I had encouraging me.
We encourage on this forum, so feel free to vent frustration out, and we’ll help you with life, but I do strongly suggest finding a good therapist.
Yea… I’m doing a lot better today. Trying to stay focused on the positive but feels like people are really hateful and cruel. I know some of its my mind but the world has no shortage of negativity… Feels Soo strong man

Be careful, vraylar can cause irritability and anger issues. I’d talk to my doc about getting samples so you can test the drug.

Real talk bro… I give up on trust. I know there is good in the world and even sometimes people seem to do good to me but I now believe that I have to fight this battle without any real love or support.
I have very few weapons at my disposal to fight off the abuse and mental illness but I’m gonna give it my best shot to not become hateful and violent. In a way I truly give up on man kind …at least i. It’s ability to treat people like me like a human. I’m just telling you this because I know you would understand and I think your a really good dude.
Time for me to soldier

thanks dude… sounds like your going thru a real battle rn. I pray you feel better. You ever think about picking up a real instrument again? Maybe it would be good to get your mind off these things. The world has no shortage of jerks, but your attention is yours. As much as work is important, sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is to sing and dance for a while

Man … I need to find something. I don’t want to be fearful angry and confused.
This illness is brutal sometimes but I’m gonna keep trying. Feeling I’m gonna give up on the triggers not happening. I guess the only meaning I can find in this struggle is the opportunity to try to be a better person even when feeling abused. Gonna try to limit my exposure to people at this point bro
