being around my family has helped me a lot. now its doesnt help everything all the time. and when im alone its like i wasnt even around them at all because all the hallucinations and paranoia and delusions cone back when im alone but for those moment thats im with my family i have more control over my symptoms.
when im stressed out tho it doesnt help. i admit it.
but what all you guys dont understand is that yea i dont take all my medicines all the time but that absolutely doesnt mean im not helping myself. i rely heavily on psychosocial activities to counteract my symptoms BECAUSE i dont always take those meds. i take a different approach than i think most people do to psychiatry and psychological methods of getting better. mainly because 2 reasons...2 big reasons....one is because of the side effects of these meds and the other is because psychiatry and doctors and therapists have let me down SO many times even when i did take meds. which made me worse. i used to take meds very faithfully up until 2010. then i started searching for alternative ways which included medicine - to become healthier. when i was taking meds i still didnt get the therapy i needed and was told to trust the meds as if they were God. so i did. and it made things worse because i was just lying in bed all day - couldnt do a thing but let these meds work on me. i didnt want that life - it wasnt helping. i was still sick and having symptoms on meds - even lying in bed. i was lied to consistently by psychiatrists. was told id never have a life that was productive. i actually believed them.
not anymore.
i saw a film with my mom and sister on netflix called something like Fat Sick And Nearly Dead. one doctor on there said that she absolutely could help people fight heart disease by giving them more poison (medicine) to fight the poison accumilated in peoples arteries by fast food and processed food. she said it would help - but why not take a different approach and put in natural and healthy foods into the body to fight heart disease. i related to that with my psychiatric medicines.
