I've been on Invega for a couple of months. Only recently started taking the shots instead of the pill. They were going to take my invega from 9mg to 12mg and I opted for the shot instead. I talked to the nurse that gives me the shot. He says it's the illness and medication can only do so much but I liked him because he joked around about my last name, said it was awesome, and asked if I was related to the comedian Chris Farley.

People do give us a hard time. Some you just cannot trust and even with love ones it's hard to trust. My mom always told me to trust no one but myself and then others tell me that I cannot trust myself because it's the illness which at times I don't believe I have. My friend says I have to trust someone because trusting no one isn't the answer. He says people out there want to and have the ability to help me which I don't believe. I'm trying to help myself... I really am.
