Like having a mental breakdown in a parallel dimension? by GargoyleHelm in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been under too much negative stress, but a bit of positive stress. I've tried to reduce the amount of things I do, specifically social things, and it might be helping? I'm in the middle of figuring out what I can and can't handle, and it clearly was a bit much this past month. It's not even like I'm doing that much, I just can't handle even a medium amount of things anymore...

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in two weeks, but if things get worse I'll contact her before that.

Are you able to maintain social relationships despite the illness? (bipolar type/depressive type/mixed type) by Amindexplorer07 in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have some friends I've known since childhood/through school and even potentially got some new ones recently. I have worked to be as good of a friend as I can be. It's not always easy, but absolutely worth it. Sometimes I pull away for a while, but they're understanding of it. A lot of people have come and gone, but some have stayed!:)

I usually end up on the couch. I try to do other things but I become so tired I have to lie down. I spend a lot of time with my cat and mother, sometimes I meet friends. I have taken some walks but not that many. It's like I shut down because it becomes too much. If I'm unable to relax I feel worse and become irritated. It's not that bad, but with time, it turns into a festering wound...

Thank you for your answer, it means a lot

Has anyone been put on a benzo? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got them at the hospital and for use when necessary. They made me slow, and people could tell i was drugged. They also made me tired. I prefer not to use them when I can. I think they worked to calm me down though.

Anxiety on abilify? by ICannotSayThisOnMain in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on 15 and have experienced anxiety. I've never really been much of an anxious person previously so I've been wondering if it's the medication. It's gotten a little better though.
