I was thinking about this today, and i like your mindset
It can be helpful, but it can also be toxic. There are those who aren’t recovered as well as others and if they don’t have that recovery they don’t want to hear about yours.
Yes, I am thankful for this forum too. It’s a place I can be real and I don’t have to hide.
I know. You got a point there.
I felt absolutely amazing this morning, I was up by 5.40am I think. Everything seemed incredible and I spoke from my heart when I posted this thread. And stand by what I said. 100%
Around 2 this afternoon Voices started and it just pissed me off. Just normal for me get them everyday but what I hate is accusations and the constant thought I’ve upset someone
Once that starts it takes the good feelings away
Nowt I can do it’s just normal I think
You haven’t upset me or anyone that i know about
You seem nice @lovesong
Thanks @anon85745701 , that’s very nice of you.
Not anyone here, I hope I haven’t.
I get this everyday regarding thinking I’ve shouted something out without knowing it. Im constantly asking for reassurance from my partner who’s Amazing!!!. Tomorrow will be a great day!
Ive had my night meds and my nose is blocked up. Seroquel give me a feeling that I can’t breathe there vile but I have to take them. I take 300mg morning & 400~450mg at night along with 5 other head meds thats including 3 sleeping medications.
Reading some threads on here has concerned me a bit. What I’m gonna lose 16 years of life? Then side effects etc and the list goes on n on
At the same time its good but it takes time for things to process thats all
Have a great evening @anon85745701 xx
@lovesong so your on more than one antipsychotics?
3 different sleeping tablets?
Sorry but that seems strange
Im newish here on forum
But we both live in UK
It just seems strange how youd be on that many different meds?
Best group therapy family online!!!
Hi spaceoptic, Im on 2 antipsychotics both maximum doses, and bloods are taken regular.
Believe this or not.
12 years ago I was given 60mg of Diazepam, 15mg Nitrazepam, and 2x 7.5mg zopiclone for sleep. Also gabapentin. And im still on this dose.
I spent 4 full years in hospital. I was sectioned under a section 3 which then led to my long stay.
I can’t remember the first two years, honestly I have no memory. I was given Chlorpromazine in large doses, but I came through. It was a massive shock.
The two years in there I was basically just left alone, my mum and dad would come see me, but I couldn’t engage in a conversation. after 4 years, several years later again I was sectioned repeatedly under sec 2 . which again would go over the 28 days and I had to wait.
Im under a large mental health team and two consultants and CPN.
I nearly died 5 times before being sectioned. My mum n dad had me sectioned at 17and I was diagnosed chronic paranoid schizophrenic. The psychiatrist told me I had a disease in my brain ? I put a thread up last week I think
Some days I can function some days I can’t. If I didn’t have the family, and a great mental health team I wouldn’t be here.
In the past 10 years they have stopped prescribing benzodiazepines. Due to my epilepsy I have to remain on this dose.
Once whilst in hospital, my bin was full in my room, so I set fire to it and all the alarms went off ! Then 3 fire engines turned up and we all had to stand outside!! Think I did that because I was young and immature.
Whatever meds people are on here, I envy. What I read before coming to this site is that I will lose 15 years off my life. So im gonna enjoy life.
xx
Thats all I ever do !
Don’t take this the wrong way, but whatever meds people are on in the community Forum is what they have been given there Pdoc.
And same for myself. To look confused has only confused me lol
God night, God bless, and kip well.
Im going because im very tired been awake 22 hours
People who are treatment resistant can wind up on some pretty funky med combos. Each of us responds differently to treatment. Also, some respond better than others and there are a sad few who don’t respond at all.
I understand thanks for going to the trouble of explaining
I appreciate that you have been through an awful lot it sounds bad
Good luck wishing you all the best
what upset you. and are you looking for sunshine and roses?
Hope I didn’t say anything wrong @anon85745701 , I was really tired and looked at my replies and thought does that sound wrong?
You’ve only ever been nice to me so if I did I’m mega sorry
What happend here?
well, that ya shows where censorship gets ya.
Hi @Daze No certainly not, there’s no sunshine & roses.
My mind was probably overthinking.
Anyway it’d be my fault for not putting my phone down looking at the forum.
Hope you’re having a good day @Daze

and I get to see my daughter and my grandson today.
sorry to derail.
