I know I need to be patient with myself. It’s only been a year since my symptoms worsened. I am newly stabilized. I’m worried it won’t last, but I am taking steps to build a healthy and low-stress environment. Not eating as much sugar, cutting out fast food, exercising starting tomorrow. I have low self-motivation, but my mom is helping be an outside motivator. Having to live up to someone else’s expectations makes it more likely that I will get things done. I am a big time procrastinator too, but it’s okay. I’m doing my best. My biggest obstacle right now is my lack of motivation, but I am trying to push past it.

NEVER consider yourself anything to the forum but appreciated, cared for, and respected. No one viewed you as a downer, even at your worst. We all have our seasons, and we are here for each other.

Does the Seroquel make you abnormally hungry?

Wow. Thank you. I felt like people were getting annoyed with me, which led to feelings that I was hated on the forum. Right now I am happy. I can see that you all care about me just as much as I care about all of you. Through the good times and the bad, you all are here for me, and for that I am truly grateful.

My appetite has increased a bit, but nothing too drastic. Are you thinking of trying seroquel?

I want my pdoc to give me a med adjustment but he’s resistant to haldol. Next thing I’ll try is Abilify 10 mg but I only have hopes of it stopping my thought broadcasting, not my voices.
If I’m desperate I might try Seroquel.

I hope you find a med that works for you. Seroquel is working very well for me. I think @everhopeful is on abilify. Maybe he could tell you his experience. (Sorry @everhopeful if you’re female. I don’t remember but I took a guess.)

Also, my pdoc says seroquel is like the remake of haldol, so if haldol worked out for you then maybe seroquel will too.

That’s very good news.
I’ve been in almost the same situation as you
First time I got out of the hospital I was doing relatively good, only delusions, I went in another town to work in construction and there I quit my meds then I got into another town at my grandparents, I fall hard so I’ve been hospitalized again after I got out I was worse then before a little but still got a job in security then I quit my meds and run into another country, I came back and got hospitalized again.
I’ve changed the meds and haven’t seen a big difference at first only after a couple of months then I got better, as better I got I’ve seen me more in my true light, that light that I’m pretty unstable so I’ve change meds again… În a month I started to feel the effects, now I’m stable enough to realize I can be pretty sick sometimes.
Be careful with exercise if you do cardio, for me it made me more symptomatic. You could ask your mother to follow your mood/actions/what you say to her /etc I liked exercise but it’s not worth to run again in a another country in a abcese of paranoia.
Anyway… What are we talking about? I forgot lol

I’m so glad to hear that you’ve stabilised @Sardonic. For a while there i was quite worried about you, but i’m glad you worked up the courage to be honest about your experiences. It is still early days yet, so you may be surprised when you continue to improve. Hope you have nothing but happiness in your life.
