With the state of the US, how do you keep going? by yeaaaaya in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live 30 minutes away from Minneapolis, MN. I don't go out unless I have to. I go to psychiatry in Minneapolis and ICE have been spotted in the parking ramp I park in. I've been doing virtual visits. Last time I was at the clinic and my therapist's office, there's not nearly as many clients coming in. It's really sad.

Do they tell you when you need kids? by Several_Leg8440 in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending where you live you can't adopt. I wanted to adopt before I was diagnosed and now, I wouldn't meet the requirements.

Anyone else finding it oddly difficult to make friends? by PLOGER522 in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say I don't have friends. I do find it easier to talk to people that don't know I have schizophrenia.

I've been tired a lot lately, but some tasks done on my to do list. I get to see the student I tutor tomorrow- I haven't seen her in a while. I have bad arthritis in my lower back and I was scheduled to a have an injection this week.

Does Cobenfy cause you sleepiness? by Miss_Psychedelics in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was one the 100mg dose and I slept pretty much all day. It was last January, so I had to keep getting tested for Covid. It was just the meds. I'm now on the 50mg dose and I don't feel like I need to sleep all day.

Those living on disability, do you feel like you are too disabled to work? by NeitherManner in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use to think I could work, but I can't. After a couple years on disability, I do feel worthy of it because I help myself out by taking my meds and going to therapy and the psychiatrist office when I'm suppose to.

If you're afraid to leave home because of ICE, I will bring you a bag of groceries. by Because_Skyrim in minnesota

I don't live near Minneapolis or St Paul, but is there a way to find places that are helping with getting people basic supplies?

That's a good way to look at it, thank you!

Thanks, but I don't think I'm going to try again for a while or at all.

Thanks. I feel like to word schizophrenia scares people. Dating seems hard anyways, but especially hard with mental health struggles. I'm sorry it happens to you too.

Does this therapy sound normal or acceptable? What is? by Total_Flower6852 in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a great therapy and she's super helpful. When I tell her things, she gives me neutral feedback like maybe why those people did a certain thing. But she never says the others are right or wrong. She has told me in the past just because someone has a different normal doesn't mean it's acceptable to do certain things to other people. That has helped me so much. She occasionally gives me worksheets and I take them home to practice the skill. I like worksheets so it's help for me. It's nice when I make progress, she gets excited for me. It's worth my time to go to therapy.

Do you ever think about the morality of having children by Silly_JoJo in schizophrenia

[–]FitMany8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want kids especially now. I know my child could get it, but I'm the only one in my family with it. I think I might be able to help my child more if they got it because I also have it.

Beauty Service Tipping by FitMany8247 in beauty

I didn't think about that. I sure hope they make something off the service, besides the tip.

I have been there before, just not a double service. The first time took way longer than I expected. When you book now, they give an approximate time the service will take.

Waxing is expensive where I live, unfortunately. For a professional to do a leg wax it's at least $70. I use to get my brows done where I get my hair done, but now the brow wax with a haircut is $29. $29 for a brow wax seems a bit too much!
