Bored and lonely. Anyone want a chat?
I don’t know who you are but I will chat.
Great. What are u doing? Are you schizophrenic?
Not much. Yes I’m schizophrenic. What about you?
Yeah I’ve been diagnosed schizophrenic. I’ve had four psychotic episodes all cannabis induced. I have meeting with Psychaiatrist about getting off meds Tuesday. He said I might have misdiagnoses. I’n 34. What age are you? How many times have you been in hospital. Do you currently have any symptoms?
I am 35. I’ve been in the hospital 9 times since 2003. I currently hallucinate a little bit but it is well controlled with medication.
Do you ever have symptoms like lack of drive? Depression? Feeling kegarthic?
Yes I definitely struggle with severe depression.
Are you male or female? Do you have children?
I’m a woman and I am married and have five kids.
Have you heard of negative symptoms of psychosis?
Yes I have. Why?
Wow my mum had five kids. I really want baby. Deere you on meds when pregnant?
They tried taking me off my meds with my first and it did not go well so they kept me on them with the rest of the pregnancies.
Do you think that the depression is a negative symptom of psychosis?
Is it ok to take meds while pregnant?
Depends on the med. You would need to discuss that with your doctor and obgyn.
I’m going to ask my Psychaiatrist on Tuesday. Is it hard looking after kids with schizophrenia?
It can be difficult at times juggling having kids and dealing with a mental illness. I don’t recommend doing it unless you are doing well on your medications and stable and have a good support system because it will be hard enough as it is.
I have no symptoms at the moment. What age can women have kids till?
