OK I just took my medication 5 minutes ago. I feel kind of mellow, not because I just took my medication though. I just feel mellowed out.

i have mild hallucinations , increase sensitivity to sound , my brain cant handle to much focusing like making music and lack of sleep makes me really irriatated , i havent went to doctor yet , im afraid if im labelled crazy , it will lower chance of job oppurtunities , i dont want to take meds , i tried my dads seroquel it just made symptoms worse , i feel the potential of my life has drastically withered and i hate life lol
I didn’t said you’re crazy…
We. Can’t diagnose people here. Maybe you do need some professional help.

ya i need therapy has anyone tried it?
Antipsychotics starts working after some weeks and you really shouldn’t take them without a doctor’s supervision …
No one will know but if you are really schizophrenic your job opportunities will not be many…
it is useless for schizophrenia but it can help you find ways to deal with the symptoms.
