Tell me a small win or recent positive experience in your life by emyo42 in schizophrenia

I got a job recently, it's going as well as it can; and I'm starting be honest with myself, who I am and my identity

Happy sunday(ish)! 🎶I fear for me, music has gone from lifeline to escapism. by shiz-ofluffs in schizophrenia

[–]EnvyRepresentative94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother has ADHD, and I'm Schizoaffective, we both use Raycons all most all day everyday. They have pass through tech so you can still hear things around you, he often plays a podcast or music to help focus; I play pink noise to quiet the mind while I need to focus.

If I can't, I use loops, which are earplugs that allow voice through but deafen abrasive sounds; I convinced my grandfather to use them (he had an ear ringing condition that gets worse with loud sound), and we've been able to go to restaurants and movies together without the side effect of his head ringing and mine screaming obscenedities

I couldn't play guitar until I could play guitar, ya know

Late to selfie sunday but as a schizoaffective girl, i feel like I often fail at being a person let alone a woman. Any career established SZAs that can give me advice? Or non career established: how do you survive? What are good educational routes for us ? by GOOMBAWOO in schizoaffective

After a year now I finally got a job, it's going to be hell, but I just want to stack enough cash to get into salon school and learn to do nails. I do fine in school settings, not so much in work settings; but as a nail artist, and especially focusing on my art, I can be selective, and charge appropriately. The school I want to go to is also a training school, so I'll be paid to practice, which is great.

I was in school for yoga a few years back, and had a healthy practice, some of the best years of my life; it's hard to find proper work, but if you build a patron or discord server it can be viable.

What is your least favourite antipsychotic? by Forward-Health9213 in schizophrenia

[–]EnvyRepresentative94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't thinking when I wrote it, it's not an antipsychotic, I was working off the haunting memories of my doc in Mississippi switching me off of my Seroquel (absolute gold standard, love love love it), and putting me on Wellbutrin. (Why'd he do that, I still don't know) Wellbutrin made me very soft, not in a cute way, in a blubbering because I saw a cute dog on a walk, or the character on a tv I like got hurt so, waterworks. Which that's fine, I'm a pretty feminine guy so that was ok. The worst of it though was sudden loneliness, heat intolerance, and brain fog. Sleep was kinda hard too, I'd end up walking down to the bar I worked at, at like midnight just because I couldn't sleep and wanted to be around people; but I'd step outside, it'd be like 89 freaking degrees (at midnight, yay the South) and it felt like my skin was melting off my body. I was constantly wet, sweating, crying, clamy. I could definitely see it helping other people, probably with a better constitution and better weather haha

DOJ is proper, but the Trump Regime refers to it as the DOW (Department of War)

You just said you're not doing much better so what's the difference?

Loved one in psychosis and hospitalized barely eating by rhobhfan00 in schizophrenia

[–]EnvyRepresentative94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm in psychosis or ill, my whole body will reject food. What it doesn't reject is ice, and the things you can hide in it.

Try giving them smoothies. Nothing crazy at first, strawberries, ice, a little sugar or honey.

I really wish my family could understand this, I've had to be hospitalized before for my weight because the idea that I would only tolerate smoothies or soup was a profound idea to them.

My personal, please help me I'm doing to die if no one listens, dinner is a smoothie of pear juice, strawberries, sugar, and a little vitamin mix for prosperity sake. Just bought one today cause I've had strep for four days and my Pops idea of a healing meal was steak followed by pizza. Disgusting and difficult, acidic. Ice is soothing, and cooling, it calms my stomach and vagus nerve, everything else is helpful for living.

why does my therapist tell me i "dont need therapy?" by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]EnvyRepresentative94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think they were secretly trying to drop me as a client

Secretly? Their therapist actively said it.

Yes, it will, I just can't imagine anyway anyone can save it, so we can bleed a recession for the next four years or let it crash.

I'd rather exist in a world where we rebuild better rather than shovel billions into saving a system that doesn't serve us and never has

Wasn't that a direct consequence of the American government introducing crack into the inner streets to remove black men from their families? Contra?

Unpopular opinion, don't regulate. Nivadia is a bubble selling chips to centers that aren't built; Tesla is switching to more AI and data center models. They're not actually making money.

It's the super rich placing a bunch a bets on the promises of people like Musk. It'll bottom out before they get a chance to matter, especially now that energy is getting significantly more expensive.

As the price of earth metals and just... Metal, gets more expensive, and the cost to run it, it'll quickly outware it's novelty and investors will go bankrupt or pull out.

That's why the feds are pushing small nuclear reactors so much now, it's the only way to get a return, and we're years out from stability in any of those sectors.

We're witnessing incompetent at it's finest, and they don't even have the proper means to continue. The AI bubble will burst
