@shutterbug I want to recover badly.
However, impractical thoughts just drive me crazy, without allowing me to accomplish anything.
If you have a magical cure, PLEASE REVEAL IT.
I am taking olanzapine 10 mg, and my intrusive thoughts are taken care of,
but it brings me nowhere near functionality.
I watch my weight closely, if I gain 5 kgs I will move to amisulpride.
In any case I will never give up.
My short term goal is to get a medication that takes away the intrusive thoughts
without causing weight gain.
(hopefully the current medication).
You should understand that me participating here is very good considering my skill set.
This is exactly the maximum I can do, at least today.

I’m here for a few reasons. The most is I can share my experiences and get help for some of the symptoms that accompany this disease. I can describe my experiences and most of the time I don’t feel judged negatively for having them. I also like that I can remain somewhat anonymous. It’s a good place to get help.
I’m also here to help others as much as I can. Schizophrenia is somewhat of a individualized disease. By that I mean we may not all share the same experiences, and even if we do our experiences are never 100% similar to each other. However, based on my own experiences sometimes it’s nice to know there are people out there who understand what I’m going through because they have had similar (if not exact) symptoms.

I’m still waiting for a cure. Here is what has kept me going while waiting for 25 years and counting:
- Meds as directed.
- Therapy
- CBT
- Supplements that are actually PROVEN to work (Sarcosine).
- Healthy diet and regular exercise.
- Recovery-oriented attitude.
Some will do better than others, but everyone can get to a better place than where they started from.

I am here because of the people. The people are what keep me going. Why I came here has more to do with my past.
P.S. feel fee to replace “people” with “potato” and reread

I wouldn’t worry if you put on more than 5kg, but I was under weight before starting on it.
I got my weight under control by doing simple things like never buying food on a empty stomach and cutting back on alcohol and isotonic drinks.

I come here mostly for the social aspect, and maybe even be a mentor to some of the younger members. But, I’m rarely symptomatic, now!
