I really don’t feel confidence

No matter what I do,it’s just a blink of an eye that I wanna give up and think it’s not worth it.
My relationship with my family,like aunty and cousin is no good,I felt they probably think of me not as good as my siblings.Being socially poor really limit me from moving forward,or maybe being low on confidence really stops me.I tried my best,at somethings,I couldn’t try my best of everything which will burn me out.I felt like a loser even for all the things I did put effort in,it’s like never enough.The worst is I don’t listen to doctors because I felt taking medicine everyday is bad for me… :frowning:

Listening to the doctor,taking meds is such a simple thing yet I am f**king rebellious about it…why?

I couldn’t take control of my life.When I am suppose to leave and travel to live alone in other places,I didn’t try.I stayed with my family.I felt they doesn’t suppprt me in things I do,I don’t feel supported.Maybe that’s why things got bad and bad

I post this because I did take meds everyday,I don’t feel good or confident…
I felt so rude myself.I am stranded in my wife place,I couldn’t return home,yet I stayed in the room all day only to do exercise everyday.My in-laws probably thinks that boy is extremely shy,or worst rude.

If taking the meds is so good,why am I abnormal and stayed in.Zero contact with my wife family…f**king ■■■■

I feel more in control without meds,because I felt the longer you stayed on it,you can never go off.Which is why some member take it for a long time and they couldn’t come off it

Is there an injection version of your medication because in my case, the anti-psychotic injection version I am receiving really helps.

Does your wife know that you have schizophrenia before you married her?

Yes,I said I have depression.The first time she went with me to my psychiatrist then she knew I had psychosis or sz whatever it is.

I wanted to try injection but after discussing with my family we called that off.Whats the difference?

Isn’t being on Olazanpine everyday same as the injecting Olanzapine to my body?

When I was on pills, sometimes I would not take my anti-psychotic medication and got worse. Now, that I am receiving injection, I am always stable and never have to worry about taking pills everyday.

6

The injection lasts either 2 weeks or 4 weeks depending on the anti-psychotic.

7

I am still taking my pills everyday,even though I am very reluctant.I complained about taking pills everyday…

Is it because of the side effects such as dry mouth and nausea?

No.I just don’t feel I need them.I felt the longer being on them the harder to stop…which probably give me pressure to stop them.I am so sorry to people around me.They felt I need meds but I am so rebellious that is causing them some trouble

Yes, to be stable and to act normal you really have to take your medication or else the symptoms of schizophrenia will reappear as you’ve described.

11

My problem is social and feeling of not enough.Taking meds didn’t solve these.If it did I would be taking them everyday without regrets or worry

12

Just try injections for 12 weeks and see how that goes. There is always the high probability that a schizophrenic will not take their pills which is why they feel pills don’t solve their problems.

The injection is stronger and more effective.

When I was on Invega I needed to be outside all the time. I couldn’t sit down and just rest!

I used to think the same about meds - my advice after finally getting better is DON’T STOP. The longer you take before you comply, the slower and less effective your recovery will be

I was on/off meds for two years, until I finally broke down and cried and realised I have a mental illness which is why I failed medical school

When I made the decision to fully comply things started to look better for me

May I know what meds r u on?

Meds fix positive symptoms only, not negative and cognitive symptoms. Without meds you will be dysfunctional, I tried 3 times stopping meds and I ended up trying to kill myself from the voices.
