I'm glad things are going well for you atypical---I haven't been around nearly as much either. I feel so normal except for the fact I have to take a pill every night....I'm actually dating someone and it's wonderful----I never thought I would get this far given how I usually feel about people----it seems to be a side effect of the abilify...but its a positive side effect....as far as the psychosis I've gotten used to the generic and am not having any symptoms-----

Hey everyone. I hope you all are doing well.

I have a doctors appointment with a primary care doctor in a few hours. My psychiatrist recommend me to her. She told me it was her PCP as well. I feel like I'm walking into a trap. I'm trying not to freak out.

The bolded part is exactly how I feel. Like wow I feel normal except well I take pills to stay normal. It's weird but I'm just going with it. I'm glad to hear you're dating someone, that is awesome! I am really proud of you, you've made so much progress and that is commendable!

I can relate to feeling like you're walking into a trap. I hope you feel better soon.

Hey, good to see you around! Hope things are well.

I'm doing good... I've just recently tried going med-free & it's working out well so far.

Aw thanks, that's nice of you! I am doing far better. Been out living life and it's been pretty ****ing amazing!

That's awesome that you're trying out going med free. I am planning on trying that next year after I've been in remission for awhile longer. I wish you the best of luck with that!
Thanks for this!

Basically cured except I take 4 meds and a three weekly injection.

I have my imagination back but probably just basic. Moderate cognitive impairment but everything is working well. I hear voices but they are so quiet.

Thinking of stopping the oral abilify 10mg with supervision of course.

Never drank in like 8 months and only smoke on fishing trips. Brush my teeth every morning for half a year. Showering enough. I don't sweat cuz of the 6mg Cogentin.

Psychologist last session said I'm the best that he's ever seen me like everyone else.

At a different mansion and on the way to the states today ^^
Thanks for this!

Hey newtus long time no chat! I am doing well, just thought I'd pop in for a bit today as I have some free time and say hi to everyone. I'm sorry about the anxiety... Glad your psychosis is better though. I hope your anxiety improves.

I would encourage you to see it less as being "cured" and more like "responding well to medications." When we think of ourselves as being "cured," then we can get sucked into thinking that we don't even need the meds... and then we start trying to stop taking them... and then it's downhill from there.

Can you connect your phone to your computer with a USB cord? The folder the pic is in might be called the DCIM folder if you have a smartphone.
