I am sorry, pals, that I can be annoying with this, but I am in pain often. I push myself as most as I can now, but I am ultra ill I find… I just saw my best ill friend at my house and even this tired me, so after that, I felt again very much my physical manifestation of the illness. Its mostly panic, paranoia, anxiety. Its so strong, that I suffer as hell. Why I am like this? Am I the only one here like this? Is it part of the illness? Gosh… I’ll continue fighting, but I wish this could stop one day. Because of all this I can get a bit irritable towards others… But it feels like I have no calm to the point, that I have the impression of going mad or even die, some dark things like this…
I watched in the past some documentaries about the schizophrenics, some of them are like me. They can shake, they move their legs or fingers, they can hide like me etc etc. But I wonder if the Zyprexa can help me better in the future? Tbh, I even feel that I am a bit better in general, but I am still quite ill tbh .
Have you gotten this pain checked out by your GP? I don’t think chronic pain is a symptom of schizophrenia. All these meds and nothing has really helped. You’ve been in Zyprexa for two years… Are they sure you have schizophrenia?
I am in constant pain but that is because I have psoriatic arthritis that I am receiving treatment for. You should go to your doctor and get checked out.
I’m on air and the longer I’m on it, the more I realize that it’s triggered by my mental state as my lungs have been checked out are clear. I could actually die of triggered anxiety if I didn’t have my oxygen and were made to exert. This is something I really have to work on.
No, its my psychic state. Sz can be painful too. One doc actually thinks i could be borderline, but i went very closed which is a symptom of sz. Anxiety caused by paranoia can be very painful. Its some kind of panic that i have. The pain is mental too, dont get me wrong. But the manifestation is physical in my case. You never saw schizophrenics who were hiding by fear or what? I find strange, that you dont find paranoia and the anxiety to be like this… The cause here is mental people… I am just very scared when i see people. Thecircle, no, they are not sure that i have sz, but they are sure its a mental disease and they are sure zyprexa is my med. But they said, that in my case ill get over that mostly with efforts. Meds are not a big help for me. Maybe i have panic attacks too, idk. But i have friends with just an anxiety disorder who are on aps too, so its not so strange…
Because psychological burdens actually lead to bad posture. The burden actually pushes you down metaphorically and physically; you don’t walk quite upright anymore. This leads to strain on the back muscles because they simply have to carry more weight due to unadvantageous weight distribution and as a consequence back pain.
Incidentally, the study of psychoneuroimmunology (which also includes the endocrine system) has revealed that there is no separation between what happens psychologically and what happens physically. If you are under any kind of chronic stress, this increases a chronic flow of cortisol from your adrenal glands, which goes throughout your system and triggers tension throughout your body, and increases your sensitivity to pain. Many of us already have back problems but we don’t notice them until they flare up.
Another thing which happens: different behaviors with our body occur due to chronic psychological states or “problems.” For example, if depressed, we tend to pull the covers over our head instead of being as physically active as we normally would be.
I believe you. I have conversion disorder, which is my SzA abd PTSD causing seizure-like episodes in me. Mental illness can surely cause physical pain and suffering. Maybe talk to your doctor about conversion disorder and read about it. Basically, your mental pain turns into physical symptoms like pain, numbness, and seizures.
Yes, i know, that i have a lot of psychological burdens, but some of my friends are sz too and they dont somatize like that… I feel a bit alone on this here… Its tiring to always feel some psy ■■■■ and always this fear…
Oh, yeah ocelokitty. One doc said that i have conversion, i didnt know what is this… Its just that it got quite strong in my case, so i almost dont live and i feel alone with this here… I was wondering if its common in sz.
Thanks kitty. Yes, i am the “lucky” one with this too. My sz friends dont have it. I fight to accept this too tbh. Mine is bad, i sometimes cant function because of it. I am an ermit, but ill put more efforts.
Yes, om. The other name is psychosomatic stuff. But why we feel it, i still dont understand?.. But unfortunately, i think its sz or sza too. Its so crazy, that some of my docs said its a serious mental disease that i have. More serious than bipolar or borderline. I went a bit avoidant and i feel like suffocating by fear sometimes and some other stuff.
Wait, ill post in a minute a video about the conversion disorder, that i found now… I really heard, that one of my pdocs said that i have conversion when he saw me for briefly… I didnt know what is this. I just knew, that i somatize. Its disabling in my case and apparently there is no big trt about it. All my docs said to keep my zyprexa and just pay efforts.
I definitely have the weakness in my body, when I am bad. Bad motricity too (its not me, its my doc who said it), suffocation too, tightness in my stomach and chest. Some other stuff I guess too. But with all this, I look ill, when I am scared yeap …
Kitty, did you get better on it though? Are your meds a help? Can you still function with all this?
answer me when you can.
Me, I cant function anymore, its a pity. Me, what I do, is trying to get out of the depression, to push myself more and more every day, distract myself and turn to others and myself with more love and good than before, that’s what I do…
We think that alcohol makes it worse in my case, so I’ve been mostly avoiding alcohol. Seeing a therapist who knows about conversion disorder can help a lot. I’m not seeing a therapist right now, though, because I can’t afford to see her regularly. If you can find a good therapist, they might be able to help ease your pain episodes and whatnot.
I don’t drive anymore because of my seizure-like episodes. That’s really hard for me. I can’t overexert myself mentally or physically because that makes me more likely to have an episode. I try not to get too stressed. It’s really disabling sometimes, not being able to do things. I get depressed about it. If I start having episodes one day, it happens over and over until I go to bed… Very heartbreaking for me to deal with.
I’m glad you’re finding some good coping mechanisms. I hope you can find a good therapist and good way to heal. Much love.
Ok, I see… Thanks for the answer. Have in head, that you are still young, you have time. If I can do it, you too can do it. Its a disabling thing in general yeap … Me, I don’t see the others anymore because of it, but I am trying. I try not to get desperate too.

I have it, too.
