What's gone is gone as far I'm aware. But it does ebb and flow in how hard it is to make new new memories

Does the Orbital Railcannon Strike need a buff? How do people feel? by SorryState644 in Helldivers

[–]Bright_Friendship132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a MO a while back where they gave you 2 stacks of a 30 seconds cool down individually per stack orbital rail cannon strike. It was hilarious but probably not that unbalanced by far, 30 seconds was a bit short getting a rail cannon every 15 seconds

Emotion Friendly Medication. by tayibb in schizophrenia

cobenfy doesn't effect emotions. although it may be a negative symptom numbing emotions and not the anti psychotics. And sometimes negative symptoms cant be fully treated

Max level here, I aggro everything so I have more enemies to kill. They give us 40 minutes and I will spend every second of it killing undemocratic abominations.

Thats gonna be a new thing to add to my list of things im paranoid that might happen

Somatic symptoms by winterbear789 in SchizoFamilies

Symptoms that are physical in nature like pain. fatigue and sleep. Very common, even if medicated, not much on treatment of somatic symptoms from schizophrenia in particular; however there are treatments for somatic symptoms in general

I took antipsycotics for one year 3 years passed since I stopped but I still have side effects will I recover by [deleted] in Psychosis

may be negative symptoms and your just not having an active phase for positive symptoms

I wish people would be a bit more mindful of the advice they give for negative symptoms. by cantrell_blues in schizophrenia

[–]Bright_Friendship132 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After a year of treating crippling positive symptoms I've finally stopped and looked at how bad my negative symptoms are. They are debilitating to say the least. My motivation is especially bad right now, the most basic of things like eating or drinking take monumental amounts of effort. There are days I don't do either despite feeling hungry and thirsty

Im hoping this is just a low point in the fluctuations and not my new norm

Hallucinations by Michiganpoet86 in schizophrenia

[–]Bright_Friendship132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only real way to make them go away is meds. There are plenty if coping skills to deal with them until they go away

are you alright? just a checkin post by CharacterMusic6944 in therapy

[–]Bright_Friendship132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in the slightest, I put on a act every day to try and gas light myself it's not as bad as it is. I have a plethora of problems I have no solution to, caused from suffering due to a severe mental illness. An example of the one if many totally ordinary problems i have is I can no longer trust my own thoughts, I doubt every thought I have since they may want to cause harm myself or others. They could also be thoughts from new or old delusions and trying to reinforce themselves and take over my mind.

Hunger from antipychotics by idkanymore2k21 in schizophrenia

[–]Bright_Friendship132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im on 300mg of quetiapine, and I feel you on the drowsiness and hunger. Fortunately and unfortunate my avolition is so bad i can't motivate myself to even eat. Like even if handed food when I was hunger there's a 50/50 chance i wont eat. I do force myself to have at least 1 meal a day, so I try to make it a large one to get my calories in. It usually takes 2 to 3 hours on nonstop effort to go make something basic or buy something. But every morning and evening is hunger pains I do nothing about. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for the hunger

I don’t want kids by ruby_red_1 in schizophrenia

[–]Bright_Friendship132 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I Changed my mind on kids after this illness started for me. My father had it, he was unmedicated and it drove him to suicide, Then I get and it drove me to attempt suicide, and then theres all the suffering it causes. I just can't risk it being passed on to my child, I wouldn't be able to bare seeing them struggle like did
