Hello, I found this forum today. I have just been out of the hospital for the seventh time this year. I feel like I am finally on the right antipsychotic and antidepressant combo and I have hope I won’t need to go back anytime soon.
My biggest fear is that my body will gain a tolerance to my med dose and my symptoms will come back.
I am 28, I lost my job of three years and I live at home. Luckily my parents are supportive but I would like more independence. I exercise and that helps a lot. But I have gained a lot of weight and I am tired all the time. Just venting a little bit I guess, I really try to be positive.
I don’t really like talking to people in my daily life about psychosis so reading others posts on this site has been really helpful.
Hello @Alterliquid.
I can’t talk to anyone around me about certain things too. They are supportive, but getting into detail about voices and stuff bothers and even scares some of them.
This forum is excellent. Many nice people to talk to.
just stay in close contact with your pdoc and tell him you are tired all the time…I’m on generic prolixin (fluphenazine) and I feel great…you might try that.
well done…by the way what med you on…also cherish your parents, blood bonds are great…i live with my parents and im 41…ive lived withthem all my life…they are th eones who stick by you the most
Thanks @eighteyedspy23. It is hard to talk and not alienate people who are afraid or just can’t understand. Even my closest friends who I tell everything to I avoid bc I do not want them to stop trusting me. Happy to find some like minded people here : )
@karl, yes I think the reason I am doing well right now is my amazing support system. Especially my mom who I am so grateful to have.
