I felt flat until a couple month after I started taking Cymbalta. So I felt flat for about 7 years I guess. I still do sometimes when Iā€™m tired. Just like a blank stare, no emotion. But sometimes I feel things, I have the ability now.

24

Yeah my flatness lasted years to. Better now but donā€™t feel quite the same as before. Do you know if possible to make complete recovery?

I donā€™t think itā€™s possible to go back to the way it was before. I think we are forever shaded by psychosis. Itā€™s part of us now. But that doesnā€™t mean we canā€™t be happy and have a good life. We are just different than we were before. But after we see what we have seen it changes us.

26

Are u happy and have good life?

27

I am not happy. I wasnā€™t happy before I got sick. Iā€™m just not a happy person Iā€™m afraid. But I do have a pretty ok life. I am working on losing weight and when I get my weight down I think Iā€™ll be a little happier.

28

Yeah I need to lose about three stone to. Was thinking of joining slimming world next week.

I think that sounds great, is that a support group? Oh no worries, Iā€™m ok, I have happy moments, itā€™s not all bad, I guess I should say Iā€™m never satisfied rather than say Iā€™m not happy, maybe thatā€™s more to the point.

Itā€™s a weight loss group. They weight you every week and u have a chat about weight loss and diet.

Oh thatā€™s like our American Weight Watchers. Yeah you should definitely do that. It would be great to have the support. Iā€™m in a program called the Live Well program where I see a nutritionist every 2 weeks and a personal trainer twice a week and they are helping me with my weight loss and health goals. Itā€™s not going that great, but Iā€™m trying at least.

Yeah itā€™s really hard losing weight isnā€™t it anyway but especially if your on meds and schizophrenic.

Yes the meds do make it hard. And right now not being able to walk on the treadmill until I get my heart checked is making it hard. But I get my heart checked on the 19th and then I hopefully should be able to start walking on the treadmill again, if everything is ok. Walking is good for weight loss. Thatā€™s how I lost weight before.

35

Yeah walking is one exercise I donā€™t mind doing as well. I used to like swimming but donā€™t have energy for it anymore.
