I used to be happy with the meds but now my uncle died and I feel down. Feel like self harming. I have the desire to but I won’t. But I know coming off meds would put me in a bad predicament which I kindve miss right now.
Sometimes I think this is everything that is wrong with me. Wanting bad things, bad feelings.

I’m on the lowest dose of abilify (10mg) for schizophrenia , which is slightly activating at that dose. So I probably feel happier than I would if I were on something else.
I was on 20mg and told my care worker at the time that I felt like a zombie on that dose. He said he’d heard the word 'zombie ’ used before in that context.
My emotions confuse the hell out of me. I’m very numb for a lot of the day. I see something that should be entertaining, but my mind just can’t connect to the right emotions. It’s stupefied every time. The worst thing is when I see something that should excite me.
It gives me this burning pain like it feels like the thoughts are colliding like misled planes into each other. So it’s like I have to avoid excitement. My brain is like a malfunctioning machine that rips itself apart when it tries to function.
And I can’t avoid exciting things, or any big happy emotion. I mean that’s what we should live for, so I push through the pain no matter how hard it is.
