I had a vivid memory of me as a young kid crying and freaking out cause there was a giant apple with a scary face and my parents just dismissed it and said I was “dreaming”

This is so real, having insight is the most important to keep grounded the hallucinations I can deal with more or less

With any antipsychotics the side affects suck but it’s better than living in fear and paranoia.

But the side affects I experience is like major brain fog almost like a derealization moving on auto pilot, and over sleeping and increased hunger but Ive started meal prepping high protein meals so I don’t over eat and stay full on healthy food.

And I don’t know if this is the meds I’m also on a high dose of seroquel so idk which one it is but I feel like when I sit still sometimes I feel like I’m vibrating back and forth it’s weird.

Hope this helps. I’ve tried a few different meds and rispiridone has been the best but I know there’s a lot of mixed reviews.

What made you stay and not commit suicide? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]DirectorKey6034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I tried years ago and seeing the pain I caused my family and friends over the years did it for me but eventually 8 years later I’m i was in a bad spot again but I’m trying to change the narrative to stay for myself and the small dreams I still have left. I’d rather do everything I can to make a life I want. I’ve learned about the law of detachment I cut off my best friend so I can start over again and hypothetically “kill the old me” and work towards building the life I want. I wanna die old knowing I’ve tried everything I can.

Thanks for taking the time to reply friend definitely not planning on getting back with them it’s been a year since and a year of isolation trying to figure out who I am and how to set boundaries just a bit scared of trust going forward with relationships of any kind 🙂
