What kind of support do you get in the group you go to? Like, how does it help? Just curious, I'm thinking about finding more support groups in my area to go to so I'm wondering what people get out of them in terms of support/help and such.

Also, like Tweaky said I just need to say it myself:
**** Schizophrenia. Just **** it. |

I like books, movies, music, etc that aren't mainstream... Like I'll say what song I'm listening to sometimes and people are like, "I've never heard of that in my life!"

![]() I don't need anyone to "make it feel better" exactly, it's more that I need to not be so isolated... so really, I need to post here more, I can't always leave the house because I can't drive so that really limits things and can cause isolation even when I'm not trying consciously or subconsciously to isolate myself... I'm taking two AP's, one typical and one atypical... That makes all this a more moderate hell and thankfully the side effects haven't been too bad... But still, I'm taking TWO AP's and that's not touching the voices and other things; but on the bright side I've noticed that the AP's(especially atypicals, I'm taking Latuda as my atypical AP) really do help my thought disorganization from getting too out of control, I mean the meds don't work 100% of the time for that but it at least lets me write generally coherent sentences even though even I know that my thoughts are different due to my illness. |

It's just a small group at the clinic I go to. It's run by one of the therapists there. We just talk, about anything really and also try to throw in some kind of therapy topic every day too. It's really casual. We do lots of arts and crafts which is a lot of fun. It's nice to get out of the house once in awhile and do something

That sounds really cool, thanks for telling me a bit about it! The group I go to twice a month is geared towards support for mental illness of course but sometimes we all talk about other things too, it's pretty loose which works well for me because my thought disorganization causes me to go off on tangents a lot but at my group nobody judges me for it and that's really refreshing.

I talk to my voices too when I'm alone. And even when I'm not alone it'll just slip out and it's like oh **** I didn't just think that I actually said it... Social awkwardness ftw.

god like every month or two i develop a new tic at work. now it's because my coworkers and bosses all knock on my desk when they pass and it freaks me out so much, i tuck my legs up under my chair and my arms up to my chest so i can't feel them do it and i squeeze my eyes shut so i can't see it because any of those cues make me want to scream.
like i want to believe that my psychosis would be better if i just left all these stressors but lmao i doubt it. i'd just have to find another more stressful and lower-paying job where i couldn't block out AM or people noises. :^) |

i wish to be normal so bad. but im not. ive been able to fake normality to an extent. but i come apart within minutes. and people can tell theres something off about me. id like to think im funny and original but im just faking normality so much that im not anymore. when im psychotic is when all my creativity comes out. well i wouldnt say that extent. it comes out when im on meds too but not that much. im taking 5mg right now of haldol and noticing that im getting along pretty well but some bumps but my creativity and originality is coming out again.

Omg I hate those repetitive things like people running into your desk. Like, I can almost literally twitch over stuff like that because it's annoying and makes me think my brain is going to explode it's like oh god just STOP IT PEOPLE. I can't people a lot of the time over stuff like this and other things too. I always want to believe my psychosis will get better if I just do *xyz* too but eh who am I kidding? Just yeah I get it.

I can relate to this post a lot. I can fake normal to an extent but not really because people always end up finding out that I'm not "right" or whatever. Like, I just can't hide it and like you said I come apart at the seams within minutes because I can't act "normal" because I'm just not. Really, I often think why bother trying people think I'm really weird/crazy/etc anyways and it's tiring to try and fake normal you know? Interesting that you say you're more creative while psychotic. I don't know if I'm more or less creative when I'm having an episode that isn't just the normal day in and day out psychotic symptoms I always have. Now I'm wondering though it's an interesting correlation. I'm taking haldol too as my second AP, I'm taking 8mg right now... Ugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Coffee is good for the soul. Like seriously it is like I can feel more energy in my self it's like a daily dose of enlightenment and I therefore drink lots of coffee because my brain cells like it and I need it to stay awake lately because taking two AP's and all that.

For me coffee is way more dangerous than methylphenidate in terms of psychosis. Methylphenidate actually helps.
You're on amphetamine but that didn't do much for me but my psychiatrist said that the prozac made the blood concentration so high and even though I didn't get much of a therapeutic effect, I don't remember those 10 days that I stayed in bed for when he took me off cold turkey saying I must feel like I'm on crack.. but I said crack didn't do much either though but coke is like ritalin I prefer ritalin.. :/ |
