I can relate to dark circles under the eyes also - especially when I have less than 5 hrs sleep
There is truth to this, at least for my son. I could post some unmedicated pics vs medicated pics of him to vividly illustrate, (of course I wonât because of his privacy), but the guy on the left actually looks better than my son when he is in the throes of psychosis.
Even when medicated my sonâs expressions are flatter than the one on the right.
drug companies are so full of itâŚ( my brother is in the medical industry )
personally i find this and most marketing offensive.
the gullible fall for advertising and marketingâŚunfortunately that is 99% of humanityâŚ!?!
take care
AgreedâŚhereâs some oldies and not-so-goodiesâŚ
me and a friend looked these up before
Nothing has changed
1974
Oh really?
Perhaps we should ask the girl who dressed like that at times who stayed here some years ago, on 6 different psych meds, stressed, no job, no money, didnât know how to drive, no nothing, got OFF meds here and leftâŚnow has job, married, has license and drives, and a bunch of cool friendsâŚ
I LOVE this adâŚit is SOOO disinforming!
Also, notice how many ads promote ADDING another med to your regimen? Like thisâŚpiggyback the meds, money money moneyâŚ
Hey man, you like the weed I been getting ya? Try this man, tis cocaine. take you to the moonâŚlike that? Should try some heroin man, its the ultimate. You can mix all 3 and be in bliss manâŚ
Please tell me there is a difference between big pharma and street drug pushers? Besides one is legal and the other not? thatâs it.
Oh wait, there is another differenceâŚopposites attractâŚstreet drugs make you skinnyâŚlegal drugs make you fatâŚ
Thought I havenât photographed myself during a psychotic episode I know when I was in my last relapse I was an emotional wreck. I was crying all the time. Now when Iâm at my worst all I want to do is hide under my covers and make the world go away. I probably look a mess at those times too from laying down all the time my hair all a mess. No beard/stubble not a guyâŚbut still probably a site to see. Though I agree with you I hate that you canât just look at someone and say they have Schizophrenia.
Thatâs one of the things I hate about this disorder because unless you canât really control yourself and constantly acting crazy (or just reacting to whatâs going on in your head) sometimes people donât know whatâs really going on in your head and may not fully understand that you have a disorder. Sometimes I worry people think Iâm making it up because Iâm not always sitting in public talking to myself (that is why I take all my meds after all).
In case anyone thought I was kidding
Please donât try and hide your EMF/ELF tower behind a house in the woods.
Yes, I understand the silo was decommissioned long agoâŚwhy is this still active? Building ye a spaceship are we? We have seen it or themâŚ
Ah geezâŚye had to fly it during the day?
Oh please, ye did it again?
Like, no wonder folk like Snowden run off with thousands of NSA filesâŚyou kids do not know how to bring your toys in the house at night!
Mommy said bring toys in but daddy says its ok to leave them out and dont listen to Mommy.
And kids will playâŚ
- dismantles bookshelf, places plank out window to tree, scurries out and down and goes out into neighbors yard to find magical toysâŚâ* hehehe.
there IS a real message here âŚ
I actually did look terrible when I first went in to the hospital. I looked like hell. However Iâm still a bit upset that they would use this picture as what they think mental illness looks like. Iâm sure not everyone looks like this when they are sick. I sure felt like that though. Maybe they should have had a guy with a thought bubble with a picture of three angry people yelling inside. Thatâs what itâs like from my point of view.
Iâm sorry. this was being posted in DarkSiths thread Captain jack Sparrow and got rerouted here by a rouge A.I. well, not really rogue, just playfulâŚthey left their toys outâŚAGAIN.
PS: The Russia & Ukraine âfightâ is NOT the USA fightâŚclear?
Ok like seriously
Stop!..
Peace manâŚ
Remember 2003âŚ
The guy on the rightâs facial expression doesnât look schizophrenic.
Thats because he probably does not have schizophrenia - just an actor portraying someone with SZ
Or else they want the world and its money to think a recovered schizophrenic will have that look.
I understand this⌠sometimes I just stare at myself in the mirror & I dont see me at all my eyes my skin color I cant get a smile that looks sincere . On my good days il pass a mirror & stop & realize that today I look healthy I look alive & normal
I am not sure itâs a schizophrenia thing. All of us mentally ill or not can look quite different depending on how we have been mentally and/or physically on any given day.
