I tried. I tried to date a man.

Yeah, he doesn’t sound like the type of person a schizophrenic should be hanging out with. I agree.

I gave up dating, always went bad, mental illness was always in the way of it

It’s awful. I’ve had to end it with a great guy because of psychosis. I just know he wouldn’t understand.

At least this guy you were seeing sounds like a complete tool. There are better ones out there.

I dont want to date if I dont work. Also I need to improve myself physically too by going to the gym daily, I weight almost 300lb.

Bowens · July 17, 2021, 2:27pm

hahaha, that made me giggle.

I am going to start working; I have a plan that does not involve random-ness I am asking a friend to recommend me part-time at the local warehouse.

Aziz · July 17, 2021, 2:32pm

I didnt know they had that, its every two month.

anon69073975 · July 17, 2021, 2:33pm

Its awesome other than being fat ha ha u might wanna try this the negatives arent as bad.

Aziz · July 17, 2021, 2:36pm

I was on 20mg Abilify and yea my negative symptoms were a lot better but I cant take it anymore due to side effects, mainly impulsions. I was on Abilify for 8yrs.

anon69073975 · July 17, 2021, 2:38pm

I would not even have posted this if I wasnt on that crap. It enhances whatever was there. do u know of a way to detox from this. is there a better anti psychotic like an actual real one.

Aziz · July 17, 2021, 2:42pm

I dont see anything wrong with your post. What I meant is that Abilify made me impulsive and spend lots of money for no reason. Right before stopping Abilify I had emptied more than 15 000$ from my bank account and had thousands in debts on my Visa card. I read on FDA website that Abilify can cause this and my pdoc stopped my Abilify. I spend much less now and only on stuff I need and use.

Aziz · July 17, 2021, 2:45pm

I am on 6mg Risperdal now but I have high prolactin in blood tests.

Leaf · July 17, 2021, 2:46pm

I’m not interested in dating. Besides there are no decent men around here even if I was.

anon69073975 · July 17, 2021, 2:48pm

yeaaa i know…so how do i be friends with someone if they want something more…

Leaf · July 17, 2021, 2:51pm

I would just be really honest with them and tell them they aren’t your type, or you aren’t interested in them that way, or you see them like a brother.

anon69073975 · July 17, 2021, 3:19pm

thanks for the advice i sorta just did that…i still haven’t conveyed that being friends without benefits yet so I think i need to try harder to be more assertive.
