I was always a bit nervous when I was gonna get a needle up my butt, but it always felt good afterwards. Taking pills now, but I see the benefits of depot.

I used to have a depot when I didn’t comply - several times I was held down by nurses and given a depot against my will

Now that I comply, I’m on oral medication daily - good thing about depot is you don’t have to remember to take your meds every day

Invega 100 mg every 28 days. It used to be 75 mg but then I had a relapse last year and the pdoc increased it.

Night before my depot day and I am sleepy already. I still have to eat dinner and bathe.

Its the morning of my depot. I drank a big cup of water. Had a small bowel movement. Next I go to the mini mart to buy the basics.

Came back from the mini mart. Bought milk, juice, water and toilet paper. Got a second bowel movement and feeling much better because of that. Dont like to leave the house unless I have had a good bowel movement. I have an hour to relax then I bathe and change and head to the clinic. School is on vacation so there should not be much traffic. The weather is nice and cool at the moment.

Wearing my favorite clothes as I always do. Jeans and Manchester City jersey. Waiting until 9am then I leave.

In a maxi taxi heading south. Windows open and fresh morning breeze coming through. Dancehall music playing on the overhead radio. Did not get a window seat.
