It was a compliment I have not really had before
Clozapine doesn’t cover all symptoms but damn, it makes me calm

Having a med that keeps you calm like that is great.
I have to take L-theanine and broccoli sprout extract to be somewhat calm. Abilify makes me anxious!

I’ve been calmer than most my entire life. Maybe even in times of great mental distress. Could it be I don’t know how to vent my anger and frustration?

There are definitely good and bad ways to deal with it
Think the main thing is simplification of my life and toxic people are out of it
Environment I believe is a critical way to manage to stay calmer
No more social media friends or reading much news also helped me relax a bit more
Life on those things is like a slow mo car crash

Clozapine had a very calming effect on me, too. It also helped me sleep really well. I miss it…

I’ve been overly calm lately as well
I think it’s because I’ve ditched the lamotragine

Yeah it’s always a work in progress but maybe try the waters at getting out there? Do something outside your comfort zone and just expand your horizons?
Like keep the guard up but one foot in front of the other kinda stuff. It helps.
Life is more fun with other people for sure and poor interactions earlier doesn’t necessarily lead to bad interactions later…it’s just interactions. Some are poor but some can be great!
Meanwhile good for you your feeling better…keep up the momentum. It’s worthwhile.
