Man I feel like a real problem maker around here. I deserve all that was said about me and I do apologize even though that doesn’t change the way some might think of me and my temper. I think I need to up my meds. I want to thank all responsible for this forum for not banning me, I was being delusional. I still am I guess. but I am going to change that. I stopped smoking and things irritate me more than they should, and I am seeing the pdoc in about two weeks, so I will be much more tender hearted on this site from now on. I am so sorry @darksith. you didn’t deserve my berating remarks and I don’t blame you if you don’t forgive me. I lose friends this way. It happens when I am delusional.

We sz live in a dark world we are also the worst of the mental illnesses for irrationality. So the board can get a bit messed up at times. One thing that’s worked for me (online anyway) is taking some time off every now and then. So I don’t get to melting point. It’s pretty much common sense as when supporting someone with a mental illness everybodies first and foremost priority is and needs to be themselves… Kudos for posting btw.

Hi jukebox. When I quit smoking 3 months ago I had some troubles with anger too and my temper. When I got worked up the only way I could get rid of the agitation was to walk it off while I was thinking things through. Don’t give up on quitting. That will just make you angry with yourself and we both know that.

I am neither pro-meds or antimeds - I do know that my psychiatrist and therapist both feel that I should stay on my meds - I am kind of bummed about it, sure. I mean no meds would mean a physically healthier me, but deep down inside, I know that I would not last long with out meds. I do admire those and am a bit envious of others who are dxed with SZ or SZA that dont take meds - the fact is that some people with SZ can function or semi function without meds - I am not one of those that can go without meds and function properly.
I say if you can deal with your symptoms with out these meds - good for you, I wish you luck.
For some people antipsychotics are just not that effective - sometimes they dont make a big enough difference.
I commend you for apologizing @jukebox - @darksith has made his choice - more power to him!
Meds or no meds - we are all in the same boat

I am humbled by your replies all of you. I could cry about it, but I am tired of crying. I am happy which makes me want to cry. Very happy about your replies. Thank you so much.

Jukebox, it’s not what you do that matters as muchas what you do about it.
It takes a lot of guts to admit wrong and appologize to darksith.
I hope you can get through your irritation from quitting smoking, but stay away from those stinky, money stealing cigs!
They will only steal yourmoney and your dignity.

@jukebox Kudos on apologising. I can understand the way suspiciousness can take over. It’s a major ongoing issue of mine.

One thing that can help is to write a post, don’t send it. Take a break. Reread it. Make changes. Then post it.

Hi dont be afraid to express your opinion , a general bit of advice is just keep it civil , and if its civil and people dont like it , then dont keep apologising. Life is hard and people can be difficult. I havent seen the posts your apologising about. But as yoda said do or do not. Dont beat yourself up.
