I’m having trouble understanding things. This is not normal for me. Plus I’m having terrible dizzy spells. I’m scared because I’m not following basic storylines while watching tv etc.

When is your next scheduled appointment with the psychiatrist?
If you have access to a care team, could you contact them?
Are you taking medication regularly?
Hope it improves and it is not a relapse.

I’m taking my meds. I have an appt with my pdoc in a few days.
Okay. I guess work on continuing to take care of yourself till then
Is there anything that could be triggering you at the moment?
I seem to remember you’ve posted that delusions have been bothering you as of late? Try talking it out with your mind that different things may not be plausible and try to do lots of mindfulness - it maybe that you aren’t aware that you are stressed. Is your husband feeling better? Again, I seem to remember that he was feeling poorly

I’m having the same problem. I think that in my case it is largely responsible to my social withdrawal. I’m not getting enough stimulation.

Yeah, he’s still sick. I’m worried about him. Thanks
I’ve wondered if I’m getting enough stimulation too
Hopefully it is just temporary. Good that you are seeing the doc soon. Hope you and your husband get better.

Do you understand things better when you’re off meds or on Abilify?

Yes and off meds even better than on Abilify.

I always wondered why that was the case. I’m the same way.

I believe blocking dopamine is the cause for some ppl. For others they’re not affected. We have different body chemistry and different genetics.

i have a hard time following stuff too but i accepted that as it seems to be part of the sickness or maybe the meds, i’m not sure if it’s the sickness or the meds…

I’m afraid for me it could be more brain lesions. I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my brain

ah yea that sucks =(
could you have it checked out? or would that be too stressful?
I’ve decided no more brain scans. I don’t want them because there’s no treatment for what I have except steroids. I try to avoid steroids now. I was on them a really long time and they wreaked havoc on my body. I went to the Cleveland Clinic and even they couldn’t help me. So I just live with it and try to keep my stress low since stress triggers it

This is why I might turn down my second ultrasound of my liver.
There are no medications for a fatty liver and I don’t want to know if I have a liver lesion.
Most liver lesions are non cancerous anyway.
I’m sorry that you are going through this @LilyoftheValley
It could be the added stress from your husbands I’ll health.
Is he getting better?
