I think its the meds
I hope so! It’d be nice to think I’ll come back to life someday. Not holding my breath though.
The meds took away my fire
I think you mean starring holes into the wall. When i was in hospital there were a few people i would say there is no life in them. Maybe because they were sedated, depressed or powerless dissapointment.
Just to make it clear, for me the lifeless vacant look in my eyes were caused by the meds.
It has nothing to do with the illness.
If anything mania makes me more animated.

I’m not sure. they don’t feel like mine.
But i didn’t like looking in the mirror long before i took any medication.
I think it may have been the drug use beforehand
Do you have drug induce psychosis?
I’m hoping that’s what it is if i’m honest.
Hoping it’ll go away.
But it’s been a couple years and i’m still having problems.
I think drugs definitely played a big part though yeah
Do you still have symtoms on meds?
Yea. It is in the early days though.
Low dose and all that.
Plan on trying something else if it doesn’t work soon.
Definitely mellowed everything out a bit but it hasn’t done much else.
I’m just sedated as far as i can tell.
I am asking because my psychosis was drug induce and now II am stable on rispen for almost 6 month, my pdoc says we will try to reduce them after a few months or years of being stable.
Because I have a chance of getting better, there is hope for you to

it could be, I really don’t know
i really hope that works, that you can lower them, get off the meds with no problems xx
I think all i was hoping for was not getting any worse, it was kind of bringing me down.
There’s always something to hope for.
Feel a bit better knowing that(:
