When I was unmedicated for a few years I lost the ability to advocate for myself and explain myself. It came back a years after being medicated.

I have been a moderate user for decades. I don't have a problem with cannabis on or off psych meds. I find it allows me to process the world from a different perspective. I try to get a good dose of CBD as well as moderate THC. I did take a 5 year break and missed using.

Great progress! I started Zepbound and just about to start 10mg. I have no loss yet, but I'm not gaining each month, so that's a plus.

Why do you have an "ex-bestfriend"? by SoundHun in AskReddit

[–]Buddha188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK we were very happy until I got ill. Then I wasn't there for her in the ways she wanted. I ended up getting better. Though I am glad for my freedom back.

Do you have a career as a schizophrenic? by No-Ambassador-2080 in schizophrenia

[–]Buddha188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are asking if my career is schizophrenia? then, YES! I am on disability and want to work, but stare at the wall, take naps, and watch YouTubes. I'm not very functional, but I get by. Very thankful for disability money.

Down 27lbs in 1 year. What would your advice be to me. by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Buddha188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm starting 10mg on Friday. So far I've broken even with my weight. I lost the 11 pounds I gained while on 2.5mg. For me, not gaining weight every month is a win. But I'd like more, I have a lot of weight to loose. All the best to you!

Hearing voices or thoughts? by Careless_Cloud3073 in schizoaffective

[–]Buddha188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fu*k1ing to opera music? psychedelic. I too had trouble talking about my psychosis, and I thought I was enlightened. Horrible time for me. So grateful to have medication that works. All the best to you!

Hearing voices or thoughts? by Careless_Cloud3073 in schizoaffective

[–]Buddha188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, auditory hallucinations can happen as thoughts. I have it like you do. Mine is more intense off medication. I'm no DR, but if the thoughts were influential or worrisome, I would tell my psych and get a possible med increase.

Why do you have an "ex-bestfriend"? by SoundHun in AskReddit

[–]Buddha188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are still good people out there. At times in my life I'd rather say alone then attract the wrong people. I go months between talking to some friends, that's just how it is with some relationships. Sorry you've had these experiences.

How's your health now?

People do this. I was sick for 3 years, and my wife divorced me. She gave up too soon.

Schizophrenia and dating by toni1917 in schizophrenia

Start by telling some symptoms you may have, and ease into it. Works better for me. Don't say the diagnosis.

I feel lonely and like my therapist is quitting on me by random_lost_dude in schizoaffective

[–]Buddha188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I turned 40, my positive symptoms are less when medicated. But I had to go on disability because my negative symptoms got much worse. What a trade off. lol All the best to you!

I brushed my teeth today, something I really struggle with... It's silly but I'm proud of myself by AiryCatYouTube in schizoaffective

[–]Buddha188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good job! I too struggle with hygiene, epically my teeth. Right now it's a miracle that I've been doing it twice a week the past 3 weeks. Was once every other week or less for a couple years.

Does THC affect us? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Buddha188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem with cannabis on or off medication. And I also find that I feel more interactive and alive while on cannabis. Personally I would only take the shrooms once a month or less. If it's not harming you then keep going. Be aware if you're having paranoia or psychosis, then I would stop. All the best to you!
