With my cognition I know I’ve lost intelligence as it just gets in the way I’m too stupid to talk right now I have to go get my car fixed. But what do you do to keep the impairments from getting worse. I’m in bad shape. Anything anyone says right now would be appreciated

Listening to audiobooks helps me. I don’t have the concentration to actually read.

I’m struggling cognitively also. I used to be smart but I’m not anymore. It really sucks.

I go on quora and I can’t answer stuff I used to know or would answer no problem. Before my relapse. All my impairments. Retaining info. Psychotic damage stuff that I feel. It’s all pain in the brain but not pain. You know. I’m just all ■■■■■■ up. Lol

Yes, just as I thought that I’m done with strong sz long period, it takes me time, even now, to remember words as I’m typing.

I don’t think the brain feels pain just discomfort pressure. The brain just gets corrupted

Getting hard to function. Almost time to throw in the towel. Even though I just started a cleaning job

I have cognitive dysfunction. When I’m speaking, I pause every 2 words or so. Hubby says it’s hard to follow what I’m trying to say, because it takes me forever to get something out and it’s all choppy.

And finding words is a big problem. I forget the simplist words.

It’s easier for me to type things out, because I can take my time. And I can use Google to figure out which words I’m having a hard time remembering. Very helpful online, but I struggle with talking IRL.

And my focus is bad. I like to crochet, but I can only do a row or two before needing a long break. It takes me forever to get a project done.

I don’t really have advice. I’m in bad shape, too, cognitively. I hope you don’t decline more. I hope the same for me.

Other than the bit of slowing down that comes with aging, no. I’ve mostly recovered what I lost when SZ first hit. You’ve just gotta keep at it.

Stuff like the daily wordle is fun.

I just found a supplement that I think I might take for cognitive impairment. Lions mane mushroom. I gotta hold on to my brain. I could have instant dementia from my relapse three years ago. I can’t heal. Lions mane

I’ve been taking it for some time now. Haven’t noticed it making me any smarter. It does let me use fewer APs.

There’s also amyloban 3399. Which is Lions mane. It might be more powerful

Lions mane let’s you use fewer APs? I’m on injection. Do you think it’s powerful enough to help me decrease my invega injection. I just have a psychotic disorder but I have no symptoms now just really bad cognition. Something has gotta fight this. I’m desperate

That’s what I’m taking. The cheap stuff doesn’t work for me at all.

Me, yes, but I’m not you. You’ll want to run this past your doctor first like I did.

I do this too. My issue with speaking is less severe than yours but I have a hard time too, especially with losing my train of thought while speaking out loud, and finding the words I want to use

I am struggling with frequent confusion and the inability to follow through with tasks.

I sometimes find myself walking to the store for an errand and asking myself what I’m doing outside before I remember my task.

It’s inexplicable.

Yeah I have some rather serious problems too. I’m gonna buy some Lions mane today. Maybe you should try it. Just load up on it for a while.
