Where do I live?

I don't mind being homeless. I'll just do drugs and die. Fine with me.
Do you think she may just be frustrated and not actually mean that? She wouldn't want you to end up homeless I'm sure

Are you receiving any kind of disability check? I'm not sure how things work in Canada or how expensive it is to live there but is it possible to find an apartment, maybe a studio or one bedroom? May be something to consider someday, if you feel comfortable with it. Just important to have a lot of support with case managers, etc because it's a big transition living on your own for the first time especially while trying to manage a severe mental illness

I struggled living on my own for awhile but it's gotten better over time, I think I was thrown into it way to fast, that was just the circumstances though because of my moms suddenly getting sick and passing away.

Good luck!

I'm having to take a break from school for now due to the psychosis and depression. I feel disappointed in myself, I got too far behind to fix it. I will hopefully be able to get back on track though in the Fall.

Thanks Mine is human services. I was considering going into psychiatric social work. However, I'm having second thoughts and wondering about switching my major to psychology and becoming an art therapist. I'm about halfway done with my associates, I have a long way to go to get to a masters so it will take a long time. It's something I really want and feel I would enjoy, my parents never went to college. After taking several social work and sociology classes I am realizing I am not as quick or on point in actual face to face conversations. Words come out wrong, I stumble over things, things I say stray off in different directions and confuse people. It's not an anxiety thing because it happens with long time friends and my family as well. I'm not sure if it's the meds I've been on over the years or the sza itself, maybe both. Anyway, it would be too quick paced for me. I hate to admit that but it's just reality, I think art therapy is something I could realistically do as I love art and drawing/painting and also love studying psychology and have done very well in all my psych classes.

What about you, what are you majoring in?

Well i decided on marketing with a concentration in social media marketing.

Im in love with social media and im pretty good about getting followers. I think i could help other brands get followers if i could learn the technicalities of it.

I hope i dont change it.

I opted out of philosophy since i just wouldnt be able to get a job with that. Plus all these jobs im signing up for require something akin to business but i dont exactly want like business administration or anything.

The doctor I had was a jerk, he sat there, didn't speak, just stared and said "hmm" and wrote stuff down. It wasn't a language problem, he was a white guy in his 60's I think. I don't think he even ever introduced himself, he was really arrogant. It was a nightmare, I had to see him every day and I was in that place for 30 days. After 2 weeks of being on meds I was doing significantly better, so by the 3rd and 4th week I was wondering why I wasn't getting discharged yet, and found out he was trying to transfer me over to a residential psychiatric hospital in Louisville for a year. I have no clue why, he never even explained it, I found out from a social worker. Previous to that I had never been in any psych wards or anything.


Anyway, he ended up discharging me on the very last day. When my mom came to pick me up he didn't look at her or answer any of her questions. He worked there at the place I was, and at the residential psych hospital, and has a private practice. I've looked up reviews on him years later and have seen a couple good reviews but there were several who wrote of similar issues/experiences with him.
OMG that's a nightmare. The last delusion I had was that someone who was telepathically reading my mind and talking to me was saying they were going to take me to a residential hospital for a year. I'm not sure why I became ok with it. It was horrible.

That sounds scary

I have no idea what his reasoning was, I was never given any explanation

Maybe he got paid more if his patients went to his hospital. The man who was going to drive me to the hospital in MA was really rude and sarcastic. When the social worker came I was saying how they were going to take me to a hospital in MA in the morning. This was the incidence when my evil neighbor came walking out of my apartment after taking a few things. She said no, you're going now. And she called an ambulance and they took me to the local psych ward. So horrible. The rude guy was telling me to go out and walk to the red Toyota. I said I couldn't walk. So he said my neighbor would help me get to the car. I wonder what would have happened if I made it to the car. I'm so lucky the social worker came and intercepted all of that.

I'm glad that you're okay

I also think he probably made money by referring people into the residential hospital too.

People treat others with mental illness so horribly. I remember when a therapist called the police because I was delusional and thought the government was after me. She thought I might end up hurting myself even though I never said I was. So we walk down stairs and the sheriff and two other police officers were there. I was terrified and got searched then had to ride in the back of the police car to this place where they filled out a mental inquest warrant and had a judge come sign it to put me in the hospital involuntarily. I wasn't doing anything wrong I was just scared. But the sherif said in a really rude way "if you try anything I won't hesitate to pull over on the highway and put you in handcuffs" I felt like a criminal or something.

So apparently this health company wants to give me 500 dollars for talking positively for about 60 seconds about long-lasting acting injectables for schizophrenia.

Hi everybody. I'm disappointed that my boss hasn't even said "thank you" for keeping the place running while she was out. All she has done is point out mistakes that I made. And they were fixable mistakes. I didn't point out the mistakes that she made that I had to fix while she was out. OMG. Everyone makes mistakes. I feel taken advantage of. Or unappreciated. Also I have a migraine so I'm in a negative mood.
Possible trigger:
. Oh well. HUGS to anyone who wants one. Kit

I'm sorry she's treating you like that Is there anything you can do to take your mind off SH? Maybe watch something funny, play a game, journal, take a walk, treat yourself to something nice or something to eat. I used to SH many years ago, those are some of the things that helped me
