Anyone else feel like this? I’m on invega and it’s like my brain function is turned off. No thoughts, no critical thinking, no imagination (literally, if I close my eyes and try to picture a red dot I can’t). The mind for neurotypicals is such a beautiful thing but for me…it’s just a cage.

Be careful what you ask for. I had an experience last week where I went into complete remission for about 20 minutes. I felt like I did before the disease kicked in. I was a normie for 20 minutes.
It just ended up screwing me up. I can’t stop thinking about it. The experience really set me back.

So you just randomly hit a state of no positive or negative symptoms?

No positive, negative or cognitive symtoms. I actually felt human.
Why do you think this happend?
Like I said, this has screwed me up. I have my unusual beliefs going into overdrive.
I have plenty “unusual beliefs” reasons why this happened. Most of them revolving around the occult.
Can you close you eyes and picture other things?

Yeah I’ve heard of aphantasia thing is this only started when I was put on invega…
hopefully it comes back on abilify
I had aphantasia before psychosis ever hit me. In a way, it’s not surprising I ended up like this.
I’ve never been able to visualise mental images. Ditto imagining smells,sounds,taste and touch .
A comment I made in email in November 2007
have difficulty visualising-seldom read
nowadays because i can not visualise the characters or scenes so it is a
very one dimensional experience/am completely thrown when asked to
visualise as part of an anxiety/relaxation technique
That was before Adam Zeman’s research.
yea my brain feels like it’s turned off too… like somebody flipped some switch and hardly anything comes out of my brain anymore… but it doesn’t bother me anymore so much, i think i got used to it.
