Yea true, I hope the diet will help a bit but even if it doesn’t its good to lose some weight as my blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol, liver enzymes are all high, I am also diagnosed with moderate fatty liver disease, Dr said the only treatment is to lose weight to reduce excess fat in my liver.

I didn’t completely eliminate carbs but I eat like 50-60g of carbs a day.

For sure

You can do this
You need to eat healthy as poss

But

Your very ill with sz and negative symptoms, its going to be tough
You can’t starve and you will find it near imposs to lose anything laying horizontal 24/7

What can you change?

I know I can’t exercise and its needed to lose weight faster but diet alone can still reduce some weight. I do what I can. I eat less eventhough I stay in bed a lot. In my last blood test my Dr told me my liver enzymes are going up and my fatty liver disease is getting worse and it could be deadly. I don’t want to die at 32y.o. from something I can control like what I eat.

Negatives are about the same but the anxiety I got yesterday after starting the diet is less. I still take caffeine pills to help me stay awake. I tried not using them yesterday but I was too sleepy so ended up taking caffeine pills again. A few days ago I overdosed on caffeine, got a bad headache and nausea with high blood pressure, not good. The headache lasted a whole 24h.

Paranoia is not fixed by ADs afaik, only APs I think. Maybe I already said it but did you try Melatonin for sleep? I used to take it before sz when I had a 6hr break in university to fall asleep as I was lacking sleep due to having anxiety and studying all night for exams. It put to sleep well.

Yea I am afraid of addictuve stuff and my Drs never prescrubed me benzos or addictive stuff as my last suicide attempt I overdosed on Tylenol, swalled a whole big bottle 100s of pills. I ended up in the er with liver damage. I also said earlier I overdosed on caffeine a few days ago. Luckily I never did illegal drugs or else I would overdose probably.
