I hate being a schizo. The medication is killing me. I'm 23 and I have high cholesterol. I was perfectly healthy before (physically at least). I sleep 14 hours a day. I can barely stay up for more than 12 hours because of the sedation. I feel like I'm destined to at most squeeze out a meek existence working part time while I live with my mom.
>>83011538What did you do to get put on meds? Was it your decision?
>>83011538Stop taking your meds then.
>>83011538Imagine getting diagnosed
don't take antipsychotics, they are literally poison. schizophrenia can be controlled with other medications for anxiety and mood (snri, NOT ssri). you can livd a relatively normal life but you have to put in the work to learn to regulate yourself and recognize when you're starting to get squirrelly and actively seek help before you're in full blown psychosis. the meds on the market right now for schizophrenia do nothing but cause sedation with severe side effects that fuck up your body and brain. talk to your mom and doctor about this and get on a better treatment plan that you can have a decent quality of life with. you have an innate human right to live as normally and as independently as possible
>>83011538Why not just put in a herculean effort into everything regardless of the pain and apparent futility of it all? It is kind of unfair you have to go through so much pain while other humans do not, but not doing so won't change this, at least you improve the chances of accomplishing great things in life. Look at Adolf Hitler, he went from nothing to everything.
>>83011597Don't listen to this kike shlomo shilling doofus. Just take Quercetin, Bromelain and Boron.
>>83011538I know that being a zombie fucking sucks, but remember, it's WAY better than being insane and destructive. Doing nothing is better than doing harm to yourself.
>>83011538>I feel like I'm destined to at most squeeze out a meek existence working part time while I live with my mom.Same. But I've accepted it. I've always known my life was going to end up like this, but I never really wanted more. t. 33 year old schizo
>>83011650supplements are fine too, the take away is just don't take antipsychotics
>>83011543It wasn't my decision. My basically got kidnapped by first responders. They jabbed be and brought me to a psych ward. They would have never let me out unless I took the meds because schizos are deemed mentally unfit to care for themselves because of psychosis. You have less rights than a prisoner because they're "protecting" you, not punishing you.>>83011554I will do strange things, and the cycle will repeat. What I have now is better than staring at painted brick walls all day, but it's still unideal.>>83011597I was diagnosed with depression in my teens. They took me off the the SNRI I was on when I was put in a psych ward for schizophrenia because it was too stimulating. I'm currently trying to get connected with a MD to explore more options, but it's hard because I'm not working, so I have no insurance.>>83011597Thanks for the encouragement. I was going to school for civil engineering before this. I'm just trying to get to a place where I can at least have a functional schedule so I can take some classes again.
>>83011669The takeaway is that you are impermeably retarded and take prescribed medication. Next you're going to tell me that it's different for everyone and a structured poison routine is essential for a healthy, happy lifestyle. Please say something along those lines.
>>83011656Fair point, which is why I take the meds, even if I hate what they're doing to my body, my life would be much worse if I did something horrific while unmedicated. I'd lose my freedom for good.>>83011661I dreamt a lot before I was on meds. I dreamt of my future, because now I'll have random bouts of deja vu when I remember the dreams. It makes me paranoid that my has a set course, even if I'm under the impression that I'm acting with free will.
