Would love to chat and meet non-creepy people when free!
I also take solian amisulpride and my prolactin levels are higher than they should be. I didn’t know high prolactin is related to depression! Quite unsettling.
Thanks @JustTrish! I’m sorry about the no creeps comment because everyone is so warm and welcoming! I have been lied to before online but that’s not a nice way to start a convo. I like it here already because of everyone’s warm welcome & I will join in <3 ox
I am sorry about my no creepy people comment! Everyone is great and nobody is a creep. I’m singing Radiohead’s Creep in this way: “I’m not a creep, I’m not a weirdo”… lol <3 ox
Thanks so much for all your responses anyway! Much appreciated.
I just take things in small steps and give myself as low stress a life as possible. I’ve recovered to the point that I’m actually looking for work right now but I don’t know if I’ll actually be able to do it. We’ll see. At least I’m thinking about it. Are you working now or staying home?
Hi! Yes, I’ve had schizophrenia for seventeen years! A long journey! I haven’t had any hallucinations or delusions for the past three years. I used to work full time, but I’ve taken time off to be home with my new child. He is 13, and my partner and I are in the process of adopting him!
I will post a selfie too when I figure out how to do it. How do you do it?
I am not working but I see myself working at least once a week. I wish I could work right now and do as much hours as possible. I’m trying to be a singer-songwriting musician. I can’t play instruments yet though.
when you go to the selfie thread click reply, when the window pops open select on the toolbar the little man (about halfway across the toolbar) and it will allow you to browse your system for an image. Select the image you would like to use then press the blue upload button on the bottom left.
I think it’s cool you want to be a musician. When I was young I played guitar and wrote songs and would sing them around at open mics and out on the street with my case open for money and even at venice beach once lol.
Your life story (from here and another forum) is really amazing and I’m really proud of you! <3 ox
I talk to my ex bf a lot when he’s not in the room and he “replies back” through me. I also hear funny things now and again. It used to be a lot worse 8 years ago when I would be bombarded by positive symptoms such as internal messages, paranoia, etc. What’s really bothering me now is the negative symptoms like sleepiness, lethargy and lack of motivation, etc. I’m not sure if what I have is schizophrenia as that was my diagnosis 8 years ago when I was catatonic schizophrenic. Maybe it has changed since then.
