I think you’re obsessed with the fact that you’re on Haldol. Haldol is an effective treatment for bipolar mania. @fisherman1992

Also I try to take as few medications as possible but this needs to be discussed with a psychiatrist. Because different people may require a different number of medications.
Thanks Zoe your really helpful I think a part of me knows your right however I don’t like the thought of having schizophrenia and bipolar disorder it just seems bad but i know I’m a good person but there’s lots of great people here idk
Yeah I think I’m just overthinking

That’s actually true none of the other meds seemed to help as much with the paranoia voices and stuff like that

Idk if it’s negative symptoms I just go from happy to sulking idk stuff like prozac and others make me feel almost high on drugs however lamictal and Wellbutrin seem to help lots I think about happy memories I feel good then I start accidentally thinking about the bad then I start feeling sad

You’re welcome. I think if there’s an afterlife (I like to believe there isn’t but just in case there is), then the I myself know me best, so if I myself feel I’m a good person then why would I have to feel guilty about afterlife consequences. I did make a lot of stupid mistakes but I’m trying my best to learn from them where possible and only I myself know that I tried my best because only I am in my shoes. It’s not the strongest argument but, it’s all I have 
You may have a very serious health condition, yes, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t try to live with a better quality of life one day… You never know. Baby steps are everything. But you should feel proud of yourself for already getting this far, it takes guts

I think small fluctuations in mood are normal, everyone gets them. If you think your symptoms are bothering you let your dr know

None of us went to med school. None of us did a psychiatric residency. None of us are pdocs. We need to trust our pdocs to know what they are doing.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, he’s just helpless.

could be side effect of the haldol, and haldol could maybe be preventing mania. how longs it been since u had mania? as an adult?
2019 and early 2020 was when my mania was bad I was constantly manic paranoid and psychotic then in September of 2020 after a month long crash I ended up on haldol and haven’t been the “I can save the world” manic since then maybe it’s a good thing but idk getting off the abilify injection took the magical mania feeling away I kinda miss it however it’s bad and never ends well I think the haldol cured my mania I just feel emotional recently and zero mania for a long time
