i had a therapy session…i got booked in early because of my ’ glitch '. 
my cbt therapy is going well 
…so this is an update; 
my ptsd has gone
my anxiety has gone
my ocd is down to it’s lowest ever point.
my psychotic rage is at its lowest ever.
my depression is still gone… 
my paranoia is still gone
things/symptoms are peeling off me like an onion skin…( though i do get ’ glitches ’ when tired, stressed or triggered.)
but they happen so quickly sometimes it is quite wierd. 
so there is hope 
…for all carers, fellow sz 
, and parents of sz children…early intervention is key to recovery which i did not have…but i never thought i would be at this point.
my therapist says " i hit such a low, that my mind was ready to release " 
but even she can’t keep up it seems with my changes…she seems confused most of the time and to be honest out of her depth !?!
but i am so grateful for where i am and all the help i have recieved from the mental health people in australia and this amazing forum. 
take care 
are you still on aps? i had some good emotions without the meds… i am wondering if they will be killed by aps? wow,i am stuck yeap… but i took my meds because i am desperate of things like my headaches(psychic) etc…
glad that you re going fine, keep well 
thanks…
i don’t take meds…
take care
Wow. I don’t have sanity without meds. Maybe i should really do therapy
cbt is confronting for me anyway…it is not easy…and alot of my symptoms were linked to child abuse.
take care
I’m sorry. This just scares me a bit. I don’t know if i want to dig up the past. I’ve made peace with a lot of people. Just had a trauma in 2011 sometimes that still bothers me. I don’t have adequate english vocabulary to explain it to my therapist.
Same here, I can only explain my illness in terms of “as ifs”. It’s as if I’m dreaming or it’s as if I don’t have a soul.
I have doc’s tomorrow. I have to think what i should ask and tell him. He’s so indifferent. Are you still taking sarcosine?
If you have a bad doc then the only advice i can give you is get rid of him, lol.
Szadmin made a thread that has a PDF with two sheets that helps prepare for every meeting with a doc, so you don’t forget stuff.
Yeah I’m still taking ProFrontal… cognition is still improving but depersonalization is still the same. U still taking it?
He looks more like he needs to be on meds. I just have to make my own decisions because he’s not helpful. I will ask him tomorrow. Maybe i should nag a little. I dont know. My sarcosine is finished, i don’t know if i should order more. It did help me but i feel dependant.
Yeah don’t be afraid to be even confrontational, it’s worth the suffering it might save u.
Med-free as well and feeling a slight, but positive incline. I went unmedicated for 8 or 9 months before and want to be back in those states. All I have is heavy nerve pain & mild hallucinating. I can handle this stuff without the prescriptions.
Nowhere near employable yet, but recovery can take decades. Society has to be patient with SZ folks & job endorsing.
i am 48 now…i was due for a break…i have worked really hard the last 18 months in therapy.
sorry about your nerve pain…but i have noticed you have a really good attitude towards life.
good on you.
take care

**Dear @darksith~
Such good news! I am happy for you 
My son is also doing without the meds. I am respecting that and leaving him alone. He has his own permanent place now, and that seems to be helping. He is doing things I thought he could not do-and this makes my heart sing!
My hope is that he will get into therapy at some point. He does not want help form me anymore ( he talks to my sister a lot ) He is really taking care of things on his own.
Your hard work has paid off, and inspired a lot of people!

i am so glad your son is doing well…
having support from people…who love him and accept him is very important.
hugs to you.
i am sending 4 angels to you and your son, 2 each 
good news…
i am very happy for you
take care
