How do you identify perceptions that are not normal. I’ve been started back on abilify and living miles from home.

It can take many many years before finding the right meds or combo of meds. If abilify isn’t working, talk to your odoc and switch to something else.

I’m sorry your people aren’t understanding you. You shouldn’t have to lie, though.

I’m not really “lying” per se I just want to feel happiness.

Schizophrenia typically gets more manageable with age, but everyone is different.

The right medication can fix a lot of things. But you have to be willing to find the right one(s).

My old strategy was to pretend a random stranger walked up to me and started saying those things I was thinking. It is easier to discern if someone else is acting oddly than to discern if we are, at least that’s how I feel.

Good point maybe it’s better to not over think my thoughts and just let myself be who I am. There’s a lot of people who don’t feel a lot of emotions all the time because I know myself I care and am compassionate. When I get into that mode of self deprivation it’s unhealthy.

I wish I had an answer for you. I’m still trying to find the answer myself.
