I feel like the last few days I’ve been all over the place from feeling better than I have in years to feeling slightly suicidal. I don’t know what’s going on.
Feeling like trash is feeling worthless. I got my first trashy feelings when I was alone and letting men take advantage of me. It can be hard to shake off. Finally, I decided to insist on my own celibacy.

Thanks. I’m hoping maybe this weekend I can get a bit more sleep and maybe that will help. I just have a lot of emotions right now and none of them are good. Maybe I went down on my meds too quickly and now I’m paying for it. Who knows.

Keep an eye on it and then if it continues you might have to consider increasing your meds again. There’s always a “honeymooon” period when reducing meds where you feel better for a while.

Thanks. I guess I should probably go back up on my meds. Or maybe I’ll just stop trying to be social. I don’t feel like trash except when I come around here. I don’t know why I keep coming back.

Oh geez. Sorry to hear that. If you mean this site? It’s not perfect, but for a bunch of schizophrenics trying to make sense of everything it’s not too bad.

I’m sorry you feel like this. I like you and think you’re cool, I wish you didn’t feel like this.

It’s my own fault. I just have high expectations of people. I was under the impression that giving support would get you people willing to give you support back, but that’s just not the case here. People play favorites and that’s not me.

My clinician is trying to convince me it’s everyone else and their own issues and not me. But it’s just really frustrating me because if it weren’t me it wouldn’t perpetually be a problem.
What med did you reduce ? Med changes can really mess you up. I went bananas when I was on seroquel and they reduced it.
I was on 16mg oral haldol, then 3 weeks ago I got the 100mg haldol injection on top of it. I’ve been slowly decreasing the oral haldol. I’m down to 8mg oral/day.
Hope you feel better @LED

That sounds like a reasonable plan. Maybe you’re just experiencing some turbulence. I’ve heard of people complaining about injections wearing off here though. Then they feel like crap until they get their next injection. Maybe that’s what’s happening.
See how you feel after the next injection and if you feel great again maybe that’s happening. That would be something to discuss with your doctor then.

That’s possible. I hadn’t thought about the shot wearing off early. I’m due for another next week.
