I used to sleep all day and then sit on the couch then for a change of pace sleep some more.
Eventually after a few years i decided if im gonna be tired i may as well do something while im tired rather than do nothing.
Time will pass by either way. So may as well make the most of it with a crap brain and do things.
i made this post after almost a week off of zoloft. at first i just thought the feeling was from thinking about stuff, then the suicidal thoughts started coming. im fine now just 2 days of taking zoloft again and im jolly. now i am thinking tho idk if i am masking my depression or hiding from the truth by taking antidepressants. but anyway maybe even if it is the truth its not worth it to experience all of it and have the weight of the world pulling me down to a point where i feel hopeless. i think i have a better chance of success in life when seperated from that mindset
So what’s one small thing you think you can pick to start with on making a change? Just one thing that you can try and do to improve things.
Medication wise there is lybalvi to try. Also some users report less weight gain from zyprexa zydis (melt-wafers). I’m asking my doctor for zyprexa zydis now. Regular zyprexa gives me unpleasant arythmias. It’s about 15 years since I took zyprexa zydis, but I think maybe I didn’t get the arythmia when taking them.
Willpower wise you have to readjust to how much to eat. What you have programmed to be a regular portion of food needs to be changed. A lesser portion of food has to become the new normal. And eating healthy. At least buy some frozen veggies. It’s easy to prepare together with some meat, fish or tofu or whatever.
When I was gaining on zyprexa one of the worst mistakes I made was that I bought a ton of junk and snacks home from the shop. Somehow I justified it in my head, that it wasn’t so bad. Like I could have bought more junk than I did. Maybe challenge yourself to not buy any junk or snacks for a week. Veggies, fruit and unprocessed stuff will make things better for you. It can take some time before the body responds to the new food though. Like it might take a month before you start losing weight for real.
i tried zydis (orally disintegrating tabs) i dont think there was a difference in my weight but one thing it takes effect wayyy quicker than regular olanzapine coated tablets due to sublingual or buccal absorption (absorbed through gums, and when i first switched to odt tabs i would get really lightheaded and drowsy within minutes. i think buccal absorption is more similar to receiving an injection than being absorbed fully in stomach as it bypasses the gut and liver and enters bloodstream quicker
idk, fatigue physically and mentally makes decision making hard. itd be nice to get exercise everyday and work part time, but it seems my timing is always bad and i kinda burn out after 2 days of doing anything productive and revert back to my old routine
Can you start by walking around the block once a day? When you get to two weeks of doing it daily then extend it to two blocks. Just gotta tip the first domino.
That’s not necessarily anxiety. That’s some particularly wicked facts. I wish I could tell you what to do about it because you need to do something drastic. If at least nothing else find a place to live before your Mom passes.
32 y.o. here. I feel the same… only have my dad left. But if you survive, having gigs and going to sessions at 80 years old feels like an accomplishment by itself. That´s what I´m looking for…
