hang in there. It takes a while to get the medications working and to get on an even keel. It is a journey but most folk around here have all come out the other side.
It’s getting to evening over here. I’m in Oz. Where you from? It’s an anonymous website so keep some details close but it’s a great bunch of people.
What’s up with you?
My best friend is myself.

@anon35538622 > I think my biggest fear is ending up on a desert Island without having anyone to speak too. Even with meds I think I’d go crazy! I do like to have a chat!

I’m In the North West of England, I can see Liverpool where I live, a very notorious area to be honest, I’m currently not on medication as they were having really bad side affects so atm things are a little tough, I also am my own best friend, I’ve been awake for hours and it’s only 7.40 still. I would love to see oz, feel deeply connected with the land, its so urban here, like a concrete prison

I haven’t the strength to fight anyone believe me I just wanted to talk, do u think I should mindlessly take any drug to stop my symptoms even if they are having paradoxical and adverse affects? I merely stated I was not on medication at this moment in time, hense… The struggle, led to reaching out, led to being jumped on by someone who took something out of context, I appreciate the lesson I have learned here and I always say its a shame proper body language and tone cannot be read in text, I am no threat to u, merely asked a community for a hand in the dark

Thanks I’m scared to fight!
People with real schizophrenia need antipsychotics!
Good luck to you miss.

Hey @Songbird it’s always about efficiancy versus side effects. Untreated psychosis is basically brain damage> it’s not a state you’d like to be in long!
Yeah try another med. Be mindful that sometimes those side effects will pass after a couple of weeks and you should at least try for 6 weeks minimum to take care of symptoms. That is just a rule of thumb and not an absolute rule…Have a lot of friends who spent years in England. Maybye one day. I lived in the States for 2 years a while ago!
Welcome and look forward to hearing your story!

I appreciate the calm down, so thank u, and i also don’t need my conditions being questioned I have had 10 years of consulting psychiatric professionals, diagnose me first with schizophrenia then with bpd, then a cluster of many in the last 5 years, I am suicidal, delusional and paranoid and this morning I saw my dead father try reach into my chest and stop my heart which is part of an ongoing delusion that a demon came and took him because of things I have seen and done, so kind sir fight or not your underhand and passive attempt to question my ebbing grip on reality when all I wanted was some normal NON passive aggressive conversation, I’m not endorsing my delusions or halutinations but I have come to accept them as products of a troubled past mixed with creative mind, which is far greater in terms of recovery than blindly taking medication, I speak to my doctors and under THEIR advice did I stop, and start and stop and start on countless meds and I will keep trying, thank u for the wake up, I’m now ready to fight for something today, I may even eat and wash
And I apologise, I’ve had trouble with passive people lately I don’t like it
You sound like you have borderline personality disorder!
I think my sister has that. Holy moly.
@Songbird It’s all good. It’s always a work in progress and we’re all learning.
This is a pro medication website but if you spend some years here you see how integral to recovery of people medications are versus the alternative. Don’t take offence and it’s all good.
No one needs to fight here and it’s important to get your story out there! Soon to dinner…take care …like a post of mine or put an @ in front of my username and I’ll pick up conversation in the morning!

Look I’m sorry my head is swimming and I have no one, I have many issues and basically just want to fall down the rabbit hole but I’m gonna hang on and see what the 20th brings, I’m an emotional beast locked away, with the added fun of schizophrenia and periods of, well I don’t know what to call it, I’m a creature that’s for sure
So do I plato, so do I
