This is the first time I post about crises with MI

I take my meds regularly,and have good days.But I don’t know,I stayed last night until morning,and don’t feel alright.Maybe I need med change or it’s just a bad day.I’m willing to go to hospital,saw my psychiatrist last week,when I was feeling alright and everything went well.
I’m struggling with my avolition for three days in row.I didn’t shower or shaved during this time.I have busy week,and I’m afraid I won’t get things done.
Any way,good advice is appreciated!

Avolition is tought to treat, like all the other negative symptoms. Have you tried Glycine heard it works for negative symptoms. I havent tried it because my negative symptoms arent that bad, have a fullfime job mortgage and all that so coping well. I would suggest trying that. The other option is to talk to your pdoc about changing meds or lowering dose since different antipsychotics have a different effect on negative symptoms

I’m thinking about getting a higher dose of Risperdal,or med change.I was on Clozapine for years,and it killed my wish for good life.I take Risperdal since beginning of april,and I felt good while I had feeling it works.I also take Seroquel XR at low dose,and it helps me for MDD.
I’m diabetic type 2,and afraid to go on any med that rises my sugar levels.
I’m sceptical about supplements and I only take vitamins.I don’t want to experiment.

Im also on Risperidone went down to 3mg this week. I think its a good medication did wonders for my positive symptoms and didnt gain weight. Checking how the lower dose is if it doesnt sort out sexual dysfunction moving to abilify in six months.

Support will be nice as well!

this forum is a good support system its full of like minded individuals

Today my anger management is low.I don’t want to burst at anyone…

Thanks folks.I managed to sleep for two hours.No offence taken that nobody else replied.I just needed to share something…

I hope you get a nights sleep tonight @anon70049667

I don’t really have any advice for you, I guess you’ll just have to wait and see how the week goes :thinking:

I was just talking on mental help line about my anger problem.For a long period I haven’t felt like that.I thought I left my anger in the past,only that often felt nervous.
I cant afford psycho therapy,so guess that’s something that I must solve on my own.Only thing that really bothers me that my anger became somatic.
That means that it starts just in a moment,it has somatic experience.
I’m aware that I’ve been changing lately in more positive context,and realized mostly when I went wrong in the past and what was the thing that triggered me.
Any way,I’m sure that I can manage this in some time.It’s only that I have to distract my self by going out more and associate with people.

Thanks for support,it meant a lot :musical_score:

Knowing what triggers you is a good starting point in dealing with your anger problems.
I have never been treated for anger but have been part of an anxiety management group.

I’m feeling good overall.It’s just that I don’t want to burst at someone for no reason.I feel regret for keeping things inside for a long period.Problem is in me and I would like to share it with people here,because I feel this is right place for it.

Wishing you well and hope you will feel better soon.

I can’t think of any advice but to ask for help and do self help as much as you can .do you exercise?that could be good outlet/release.

No,I don’t.I don’t think that my artificial hip would allow me that.I only do some exercises while standing.Thanks for tip.

A friend of mine had hip replacement and she takes long walks and exercises.

I once thought about doing yoga,because I saw it on TV series of practices.But when I called them to explain that I had hip surgery,they explained that there are certain limitations.
Music and reading is what occupies me now.I enjoy both.I walk a lot,but live in traffic center of city,and if I want to go walking,I had to take a bus.

Here are some hip exercises. And you can do a lot of upper body training, too.

Yes,I do that.Thanks.
I enjoy swimming.That calms me down.At student days,and when I worked in my saloon,I had opportunities for that.But in this city,and that’s a great shame,there are no lanes for swimmers.Also several times I went home disappointed because I couldn’t find a space for it.
