Even with a stimulant I have problems with negative symptoms. I’m generally depressed most of the time. I still have mild anxiety problems. I’m on the best cocktail I’ve ever been on, but it still doesn’t fix everything.
I have two or three persistent delusions–i know they are delusions (at least I think they are…sometimes though, I lose all perspective and get immersed in them.) I have visuals (“movies”) and hear random sounds (Phone ringing, someone banging on the door, calling my name…) I also have olfactory hallucinations (smell diesel exhaust). I know this sounds like a lot but believe me, it’s better than it used to be.
How do u function with so much symptoms even on meds …
paranoia about gangs and people wanting to hurt or rob me, and always thinking people are talking about me, intrusive thoughts
None of them at this point are severe. Just annoying more than anything. I have a chronic, debilitating physical illness than keeps me at home and unable to work…so I don’t really have to function on a high level or dealing with strangers. In the past, before I became sick (physically) I did lose several jobs due to SZ.
It’s nice to see you again @locamotion!
hi Wave!
Thanks, I didn’t know anyone ever noticed my being here. It’s nice to have been missed!
Voices don’t come every day. That’s because of meds.
But the basic delusions stay no matter what meds I take
