Hello iam new here i hope someone can direct me to someone that can help me
How long does the three reply block last for on the m is for mango thread
Or on the what are you listening to
I. Thought those posts would be a great way for every one to get used to each other and me being a pest and still navigating the forum has gotten a bit confused 
Do i have to reply to multiple posts and if i speak to someone three times i get blocked from replying i understand spamming and trolling but i mainly want to talk about the puppy that woke me up licking my eye this morning or how my illness effects me didnt mean to offend anyone ta m

I think there are rules that apply only to new membersā¦that blocking should stop after a couple weeks or so.

Iām not understanding why drawing is not allowed? Do be careful of using headphones to drown out voices. Thatās part of why Iām half deaf now. @jukebox is right, the site software has anti-spamming protections built-in so users have to gradually build ātrustā through participation to earn additional posting privileges. Just keep being part of the community and youāll have increased access.
Welcome.

It just takes practice. Begin with one thing you would like to start doing again and make a point of doing it for several minutes a day. I started with reading a few sentences and then a few paragraphs, eventually made it to whole books again. I kept a recovery journal tracking my efforts so I could tell when I was making progress.
Iām treatment resistant so I have 24/7 positive symptoms buzzing in my ear. CBT has helped me learn to treat them like background conversation or at worst elevator music. I shove the noise to the side and keep going. Itās doable, but it takes a lot of practice.
The one thing that might really help at the outset is being careful of your stress level. Iām sure youāve noticed how your whole illness dials up when youāre upset over something. Iām very careful to avoid the news for the most part and other things that wind me up. I do lots of calming rituals throughout my day. Lower stress = lower symptoms = happier me.
Hope this helps?

its very common that symptom, i had it and so i have cut my tv out and only watch the occasional sport (less lately though) yeah i had all of that, it never got to the point where i was talking to the tv but i was getting upset, delusional/paranoid and connecting dots that shouldnāt be getting connected.

Iād be careful of things that are directly triggering. I love me some X-Files but I also have a problem with alien delusions and fixations. I can watch the show when my insight is good because I know whatās real and what isnāt. When Iām not in good shape is when I avoid anything that winds up my alien fixation. Going through a stretch of that right now, actually thanks to a med change. Iām watching camping videos instead or working on my travel trailer.

You have any fun hobbies you can do @Opal1999? I find that getting out for a walk or using a camera really helps quiet my mind. Even just a nice cup of tea in the park is soothing.

But sadly im disabled so i cant walk that far
