Hi guys. I just joined the forum. I’m diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and have been for about 15 years. I take max dosage abilify and my positive symptoms are really controlled and I am very stable on this dosage.
I have however for years now struggled severely with negative symptoms especially lack of drive and motivation.
Recently though, I’ve started publishing a weekly, mental wellness magazine seeing as my negative symptoms have greaty improved with supplements ranging from high caffeine preworkout powder to b complex tabs.
Anyway, hello from me here in South Africa…

What I can do is have the Facebook page up and running by coming Monday and you can request from there if you’d like a copy of said magazine. Its entitled Elpidos Weekly after the Greek word for hoping or simply hope.

Hi. So our lockdown restrictions have been eased, but believe it or not the selling of cigarettes have been outlawed here. We buy on the “black market” now, but are paying up to 8 times the price than usual. Otherwise surviving and looking ahead! I stay in a home for people with schizophrenia and bipolar mood disorder. I’ve been at the home for 8 years now. My mom founded it and manages it…

What cigarettes are illegal?
Is it due to covid19?? Forever?
There’s a court case to fight it, and petitions etc. I hope the ban is lifted, but it was put in place cause of covid yes…Politics are a big mess in South Africa, the less I say about it the better actually…
