It's like my brain is telling me how terrible psychosis is/was rather than some of the neat things about the experience. It's an unbalanced perspective. I just don't want to bring this negativity to you guys. I'm starting to feel like an outsider here and I'm trying to figure out if it's time for me to move on with my life or just to have a more limited role in terms of some of the more science based stuff or recovery or whatever. Just not sure right now but I feel like a jerk for feeling this way but it's like there is a division between what I am now and what I was. Like take clozapine...when I was sick I was all no way I'm touching that stuff it's poison cause it is but now I'm like clozaril is useful in certain hard to treat cases as a last resort etc and I would personally consider it...it's just weird it's like now that the threat that I would actually have to take it is gone I think about it entirely differently and I don't think it's a fair perspective. It's easy enough to say take a med when you're not personally dealing with the side effects. So that's what's going on I just don't have a good solution it's like I just want to go back into the mainstream world and blend in and forget all the psychiatrists and meds etc. like it was a bad bad dream.

I think I understand. But it's great that you see that perspective. I wish more professional psych ppl were like that. Understood how hard it is to take some of these meds. U add a lot especially about the science part of it.
I got out! Finally, and got groceries and the money order for rent. My son is on Skype with his friends. He used to always hang out with me. Not so much anymore.

He's growing into a man! It's hard to believe he's 18.
I'm really tired and have been getting just horrible headaches lately. Idk if it's the latuda or what.
