I remember 2 summers ago , I went on a vacation solo for 2 months, hoping to escape my symptoms. I was in a picturesque tropical location
that doesnt work, the first 3 weeks i slept 12+ hours a day. then i became psychotic 2 weeks after that.
This illness follows you… now I face it instead of run from it.

I just ran over a thousand miles from the voices but they followed me and I’m thinking of running again because the first few months in a new place I don’t delusion or anxiety and it’s so cool I think I’ll be one of those people that ends up on the street because my illness
.
It’s definitely a real thing, I have tried taking myself off meds twice in the last couple of years and the symptoms returned bad as ever. Better to realize it for sure.

That’s is true man very true it can make even the simplest challenges more difficult.
Yea,luckily there is medication…@BryanAshley are you currently taking psychiatric medication?
It is challenging,life is challenging for everyone…maybe a little more for mentally ill
As my sponsor in AA said: “The problem with geographical cures is that wherever you go, there you are.”

Indeed. Take it every day. I believe it’s helping me recover.
Alright,but the side effect is not fun though…haha
yeah I take a low dose have no real side effects. Maybe some tiredness if I don’t drink coffee.
it follows me like a creepy stalker.
In AA they talk about people taking the “geographical cure”. Someone thinks they can solve their problems by moving to a new location, but they take their disease with them. It is the same way with sz.
