It’s strange I’ve been getting delusional a lot this year but never went full blown for more than one day in a row. Idk maybe it’s cos of the medication.
That could just as well be the AP’s that have grinded you down as the disease itself. I recommend taking some nootropics to counter the effect of the meds.
Sorry that happened @Wave. I’m always painfully aware that I’m mentally ill. I always think I’m hiding something from most people. Very few people know I have schizophrenia.
Most of my days are just coping with the disease now. I get some respite around 9pm and things are easier after that, so I stay up later than I should. But yeah, surviving is the name of the game. I wish it wasn’t so difficult.
It doesen’t hurt to take a nootropic or two. Quite a few people here take Lions Mane with positive result. That’s one I take myself. It’s a good place to start. One of its features is that it repairs and regrows damadged neurons and eliminates brain fog. I know @anon82948922 takes it. And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a few other members make posts about it.
I have positive experience with it. It’s considered safe if you stick to the perscription. Just make sure to buy it from a reputable dealer, like swanson or vitacost.
I get that almost every time I talk with people too much. I try to keep my words to a minimum, but sometimes I say too much and the look on peoples faces tells me I need to stop talking. Sometimes I think I’m being friendly, but I’m not sure what’s coming out of my mouth because the reaction I get (way too often) shows me that I’ve said something socially unacceptable, I guess.
When I’m feeling strong and don’t care what anyone thinks, I just let myself say things that I think are funny. People are too uptight and that’s the truth. @Wave , you were probably fine but fell outside of the small minds you were talking to… mental illness aside.
I understand. But I guess that is part of what we have to do. Take some risks sometimes. But if you only introduce one supplement at a time you can at least know if it is that which is causing it and if so stop it. Most supplements I have bought has agreed with me, like 95%. And then there’s a few that I’ve been downright allergic too or that have given me negative effects.
I think mania would be mostly caused by supplements that work on dopamine and serotonin somehow. I can’t remember reading any time that lions mane affect these. But quite a few supplements do, so that might explain it.
