Yes, thanks, it's not a good situation. Oh well. I'll get the prescription on Tuesday. Hopefully going without it for 3 days isn't too bad.

I can't help but feel some of my ability to retain or recall things has declined. In the past I've always been quite good at knowing the meanings of words & circumstances in which to use them. However, recently whilst reading I find myself unsure of words which I have come across before & also feel even though I look up stuff I'm unsure of, I don't seem to grasp it in the same way or commit it to memory.

I've done a lot of reading over the past couple of months since I came off APs, but I feel that I am not engaging fully with what I am reading. I doubt I could readily recollect a lot of what I've read.

This disheartens me... I feel I'm not firing on all cylinders despite being medication-free & having comparatively few symptoms now. I guess perhaps my psychosis is still lingering on in subtle ways. Perhaps also there is the fact that successive bouts of psychosis are more likely to leave lasting changes. My CPN told me that perhaps I would never be the same as before my first episode of psychosis and now it seems another episode may have had further impacts.

Who knows, I certainly like to think I could get back to the way I used to be but I guess only time will tell.

Loial - psychosis can have lasting changes on your brain. correct me if im wrong but i heard it reshapes your brain or the way the synapses fire. something like that. but it does leave lasting changes. can they be changed? idk. perhaps.

i took a bath , i didnt even bathe myself i just laid there and thought a lot and ended up crying. i feel like such a freak for getting this upset about a promotion. shouldnt promotions be good news? i am just so scared of messing up and failing. not being able to handle it. getting too stressed out. T texted me that he has complete faith in me. im gonna do it , and maybe the intense fear is just for the anticipation. maybe once i start training i will feel better and more confident

No, they're just intrusive thoughts. I have that, and have since I was a child. I know I'd never act on those thoughts so it doesn't bother me too much.

They never give you a whole hour anyway. I think that's pretty standard across the board. What did she say?

Mine get very warm too if I vape a lot at one time. I wish I could use a subtank but my lungs could never handle it. If it ever gets too hot, try to put it in a non flammable contained like a sink but don't put water on it. Water is bad for venting batteries.
