Why do you think talking to people triggers you?

I found this site very triggering when I was still Jesus but ever since, I felt is been very productive. That’s just my experience though

Because the more people respond and respond positively … it makes me feel “happy” and that kind of elevates my mood to some extent.

Hmmmmmm… it would be good if you get happy, and not “happy”.

My Dad’s exwife is a good trigger for that. Yet somehow everyone still blames me.

This site is not healthy for those farther along in their recovery. Every time I come here I feel like I’m back in the psych ward listening to the sick people screeching in the quiet room. I haven’t done that in real life for well over a decade. Getting close to two decades, actually.

@anon82948922 you are right this site isn’t so good for the recovery!

It’s good for those who are still very sick and need to be reminded to take their APs and that their delusions/hallucinations aren’t real. We’ve told one member countless times over the past month to stop escaping the psych ward, stop trying to damage her hands, and to accept treatment, for example. She badly needs this community.

@anon82948922 accept the treatment isn’t easy thing the treatment come with a lot of side effect!! I’m sure that the majority of people here with the illness they can work and having a greater life with a proper treatment without so much side effect! I know it because I worked good for one year without big simptoms with little to no medication and when I started the meds I have had more simptoms and sometimes simptoms triggers, that’s my experience. the meds are good but every person is different and the effect of the meds are different on every brain

Here are your choices:

  1. Accept the treatment and attain the highest quality of life possible.
  2. Reject treatment and meds, have consistently poor quality of life, and possibly damage yourself permanently after a certain period of time such that you will never enjoy meaningful recovery.

Up to you. If you go with choice two, you’re hurting yourself more than me (beyond what taxes I have to pay to support stupid decisions).

If you don’t mind, why do you come back? I only ask because my pdoc told me today that I should take the next step in my recovery and stop visiting this site.

I’m struggling to have conversations that I find have depth and as a result I say a lot of crap. I feel like a toddler.

I don’t use this site primarily for recovery. It is much more of a social hub for me.

When I was first DXed it was before the Internet was commonplace. If you wanted to meet other SZs you went to support group. The ones I met in support group were … less than inspiring. The facilitator would point out Kevin as a sterling example of recovery and tell the rest of us we should be like him. Kevin was an over medicated, drooling lump. That’s NOT recovery. As one of those who went from being a ‘poor prognosis’ case to being high-functioning on meds, I feel I have a responsibility to let newly diagnosed SZs know that there is still hope. I would have suffered much less than I did if someone had given ME hope early on.

So, yeah, that’s why. But I get SO SICK of arguing with people about taking their meds. Just shaddap and take yer ■■■■■■■ meds and do the treatment. Do the therapy and CBT. The miracle will follow. Does practically every time.

Edit: One more comment. Whenever I see some young SZ make the decision that they are going to fight for recovery, the results are always amazing. ALWAYS amazing. They use the meds and tools and the majority will make it back into the workforce. OTOH, the ones who fight treatment every inch of the way, they usually get worse. They’re the ones who only ever make excuses for why they can’t take meds or take some positive steps. These are the ones who one day wind up 60 years old, are still making excuses and trying to drag others around them down, and people look at them and go, “what a loser.” And they are. Choose recovery now.

I’m not sure you understand. It effects my state of mind and I feel to a certain extent my answers are immature.
