Im feeling a bit depressed today. Im not sure why. I had my invega injection an hour ago. I think its just a painful reminder that im sick. Also saw some people that were much worse off than me and it makes me wonder if ill be like that some day.
Hopefully the shot will keep me from getting paranoid so much. 5 times in 8 days!
I guess some days just are down days. I will feel better tomorrow. Just gonna deal with the sore arm and post shot sleepiness today
I had energy on the Invega shot. I’m sorry you’re down. Seeing people who aren’t doing well can be very sad. And scary. All we can do is take our meds and report symptoms so we can stay as well as possible
I feel you I have sometimes the same worries! What will happen in a few years! But I try to take care of myself and I am working with my therapist on : what triggers my psychosis and what can’t I do in a situation of crisis. It gave me some kind of comfort to find out that.
Smiles and warm greetings to everyone who feels down today
I have some energy. It took some time to get there though. When i first started meds i was in bed like all day. Now i can actually “enjoy” some day time
I was in bed all day with Seroquel. I was either sleeping or eating. I gained 90 pounds in one year. I finally told my dr either give me something else or I’ll go off meds completely. I’m never taking Seroquel again! My dr was kind and understanding luckily
I hear you. I am the same way, worrying about how badly I’ll decline. I’m lower functioning than I was ten years ago and I always worry about getting worse.
I tried a local peer support program earlier this year, but was by far the lowest functioning, so I stopped doing the Zoom groups.
I did a support group and was the highest functioning. The other older adults were so immature. The one guy had a transformers shirt on and was like 50 years old. We took a break an hour in. I said i was going to get breakfast and just left
Ive gained 45lbs. Largely do the the lack of exercise. I did just recently lose 13lbs. Quit drinking beer and immediately lost weight.
Im just in the â– â– â– â– â– ing mood today. I want to complain. Im tired of feeling like crap all the time. Even days i feel somewhat decent there is still a layer of crap on the bottom.
