@Jonnybegood here’s another one for you. I can only listen on the radio with the volume set to odd numbers. Even numbers are too flat, LOL.
Quite often, when I look at my microwave the time includes either a 17 or a 13. When it’s 17, I’m going to have a good day. When it’s 13, I’ve got some karmic debt to pay off. I know it’s senseless, but it’s just part of my thinking
I’ve never talked to anyone with the same condition, thanks for bringing it up
First had symptoms at 17 had my first psychotic break and hospitalization at 20 had hospitalizations on and off until 31 then started taking invega sustenna until now at 37
nope not me, sometimes i get a 2 week or month long stretch without hallucinations, but then they come back. every time it get’s quiet i start to think maybe i don’t need meds anymore, but then im reminded i’ll never be cured.
For me there is no “recovered” until there is a permanent cure. I am told I have a major episode about twice a year, and a manic episode about every two weeks…something like that, my life is more like a psychotic roller coaster. It’s both bipolar and schizophrenia… I become manic and just go up and up and up, and then I become despondent. If I mess with the routine I become completely unstable. I have had depression before and it relates to the weather and stuff/since everything is connected my hope is that I could add some vitamins or nootropics to Abiilfy and see if it helps ease the mania and depression, and prevent anymore episodes.
My illness resembles bipolar more than schizophrenia now, but I am really strict about taking my risperidone so not really sure what I would be like without it.
