Im always getting dizzy in random places and i am concluding that its pinpointed to specific locations but majority of the time its random. I dont know what should i do. I told my physc and he have prescribed me abilify 15mg and i have never token this and hopefully this works. Im 5’9 and weight about 219. I am trying to get my weight down as much as possible so i can eliminate one of the problems but my physc is telling me thats not really a factor but o well. I realizing my brain is becoming very sensitive and wherever i think adverse or around people whos not primarily on the same page thats where i get dizzy and start swaying and its getting stronger everytime. Spiritually i think sometimes God dosent want me in the exact spot at that point of time and things dont even seem wrong visually. I HATE WHAT IM GOING THROUGH. My doc say i might have catonic shizophrenia but i dont know this is so new and its just getting worse. CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME FEEDBACK OR YOU WANT MORE DETAIL ILL GIVE MORE SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
I know it’s hard trying to find answers and reasons for things that happen that you can’t explain. I get catatonic sometimes… things happen to me I can’t explain either and it has always gotten chocked up to " it must be your schizophrenia" . I go blind alot and I never sleep… “must be a symptom of your schizophrenia” … there are alot of things that can happen cause of your brain. It’s hard to explain them. Sometimes you just can’t I can’t explain most of the weird crazy stuff that happens I just have to figure out how to cope with it and every new thing I have to get use to… I do wish you luck and hope your Drs can help you cope more or find something to help more than what it sounds like so far…
so how are you coping or maintaining?
Well… Drs wud consider me not maintaining well… I just keep to myself. I don’t go out I don’t see anyone I haven’t seen my Dr in almost a yr now haven’t seen ppl in 6 months or so…I’m not on any meds… I just accept it as my reality I guess. And for distractions (cause I gotta have them) I actually game, make art and watch alot gamer live streaming on twitch and youtube when I have internet… and is that even coping? I guess for me… definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone cause it’s pretty dark actually. I just don’t feel I have another option right now yet.
And now I’m here on this site lately and that helps alot actually even if I can’t really talk sometimes at least I can read there’s others out there
so you dont work or anything you have somebody taking care of you how old are you
Getting a diagnosis is the first step, and recovery is possible for many on the right medication. You just have to give it time.
I work despite having Schizophrenia, but I was forced to do it from an early stage, which I think has helped.
In most cases it’s treatable, you just have to make sure you stay med compliant, and switch if you need too.
Have you also gotten a sleep study done to evaluate you for narcolepsy? Or a heart test done to see if you have blood pressure/heart problems?
Do you have symptoms other than getting dizzy and swaying?
I’ve always taken care of my self ever since I was a kid and didn’t have a choice. I live on my own. I’m an artist and I get a small gov check now since a year ago. And I’m 36 now
ok im sorry for that im 31 im not getting no assistance how did you get yours
I called my social security office. They need work history or medical history or they really cant help much. which is my case. But they help some which is way better than none. lol. But i have pointed others in that direction and they have been helped even more. Sometimes some people can get disability and SSI. Not always. Again it depends on different factors. But it may be worth a call to find out if there is anything that could be done to help you more?
ok thanks i tried i been denied a couple of times so ill just try again
It’s kind of a given rule that you get denied the first time and possibly the next couple. I was too. Every one I talked to also was. But just kept trying! So maybe just keep trying! And good luck!!
