My birthday is coming up

I will be 26. Closing to 30 then 20 and still no job. Still falling for the temptations of marijuana. Totally sucked into addiction with it is more like it. It will be my 2nd birthday since being diagnosed with schizophrenia.

But on the positive side of it all I have accomplished quite a few things since being diagnosed. I found my partner and recently got married. I am now not only a mother to his youngest daughter I am also now the mother to his two older children from a previous marriage :slight_smile: I also started college and although I had to stop some classes last semester from the voices becoming to much to focus, I am not reenrolled for the upcoming semester and still have straights A’s despite the two withdraw grades!

On a person note: the voices are becoming so confusing this past year. The voice in my head I believe is God. I get so confused trying to pull myself out of the schizophrenia so part of me believes it’s just my schizophrenia and God really doesn’t talk to me, while the other part of me believes God and my schizophrenic God both talk to me. Uh I get so confused on the voices that I don’t know what’s schizophrenia and what is my own thoughts!!!

Sorry kinda all over the place just had a lot to get out. I don’t write much on here and am looking for friends so write back on whatever :slight_smile:

Yes I do take my meds. I am on Zoloft 100ng and Abilify 15mg. I went down from 150mf on Zoloft and 20mg abilify, with doctors approval, because the sedation of the meds were making it hard to stay awake with my two year old.

and you still hear voices?

Yes. Everyday I hear voices everyday. Whether it be for 30 minutes or for hours, but I use to be totally sucked into the delusions for most of the day so I have seen vast improvement.

Do you think I should talk to my doctor about maybe increasing the abilify again?
