![]() Not everyone has these opportunities but I'm sure there is always peer support groups of which I guess online forums is one! I was relying on them for social contact outwith my parents until recently & when I was ill last time I was completely isolated so I know how it feels. It definitely helps me to be able to talk freely here for one. @ newtus - where meds aren't working & the side effects are bad then it's understandable you should turn elsewhere for coping strategies. That's not to say people on meds shouldn't though, meds are only part of the picture. How many different meds have you tried out of interest?

I'm currently off medication and trying to stay so by having a healthy lifestyle and taking care of myself. That includes spending time with family and my bf regularly and also exercising and eating healthy. I've been off medication for a couple of months now and it's going well. I'm determined not to take it again and that I won't need it. I know it can be beneficial to people but I'm determined to not take it as I don't think I need it. Unless things start going downhill I'm not taking anything. There's a lot more to life than medication imo.

All the medications I was on during adolescence gave me psychiatric symptoms such as memory loss, suicidal thoughts and urges, somnolence and pseudo-seizures or twitching caused by low blood pressure. The perpetual state of somnolence I was in gave me hypnagogic hallucinations. All these symptoms were misinterpreted as signs of dissociation or micropsychosis related to BPD. I realized all this after I stopped the medication in 1998 and told psychiatry to F off. It was family and my desperation that got me to see the reality of my situation. The medication induced psychotic symptoms were very different from the psychosis I experienced five years later. The doctors were too blind and stupid in 1998 to realize the drugs were causing symptoms and worsening my situation. Flee if it doesn't feel right. Run for your life!!!!!!!!

im mostly the same way. i mean the person i see daily is my dad and then maybe once a week (sometimes less) i see my mom and sister. my sister moved here for 5 months but i leaving again to move across the state because shes getting married so in a month i wont be seeing her weekly anymore. i rely heavily on online interactions. but its something that...weirdly i guess...i look forward to everyday. once a month ill prob have a short convo with my neighbors. and then on holidays i see a few more extended family members during the year. as far as real life interactions its all about my family. and my sister being here is only a plus because after the first week of february ill only be seeing my mom about once a week.

Psychosocial activities can be anything. I like to go to activities that allow me to learn and create, and socialize at the same time. I do captioning and attend a beading group. They help me connect and work on my social skills. They also alleviate my sadness. Quote:
I often wonder if psychosis is a consequence of individualism, an effect of the western world.

That's a lot of meds newtus! I'm surprised they haven't tried you on Clozapine (Clorazil) since it's meant for people who are medication resitant. Have you been offered it?
I'm not saying you should btw, just curious... if you want to only use meds when you need, that's ok.

when i was in the hospital last year they thought about trying it on me but i dont exactly remember why they ended up not doing it. my life with this system isnt over yet. they might want to put me on clozaril some day. they def want me back on injections with my doctor now. they keep mentioning it but i deny their "offer". more of a demand lol.

The only reason why I still see them is to get access to a psychologist. My problems have always been psychological, they just made me believe psychiatry could help me. I had a great productive life before I met them, I was working part time and in college doing something I loved, full time. Now I have nothing, I'm just lucky my fiancee is still here with me. |

idk. they supposedly said in their group rules/policy they are going to call authorities or whomever they can get ahold of if the person says a suicide threat. i dont like that at all. especially if they are going to contact whomever they want on the persons friends list.

10am here now...
My voices always tend to be worst waking up overnight too... although I doubt stopping sleeping would help. ![]() Maybe it's for the best you aren't getting the concerta? I mean you'll be stopping using it soon right so... why not before you are forced to.

The last time I saw anyone for my back they only suggested the steroid shots. I am trying to walk a little bit every day but it's very painful.
