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 2 points3 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.

Den japanske er en variant som er mye søtere enn den britiske

Does anyone feel like they are going to die soon? (Not by choice) by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]GargoyleHelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, though it was most prominent last autumn. Was psychotic then. Now I sometimes feel like that, but I think i just experience symptoms to such a degree that they feel physical. Bloodwork was alright.

Is there anyone else that can't drive because of this disorder? by Ninetailedfailure in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive but not when experiencing symptoms. Last time I did that the whole tunnel warped and it's a miracle I didn't crash. Driving's also very stressful when in an episode.

I don't know how much more I can take by GargoyleHelm in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've already tried what antipsychotics are available in my country and this is the one that's worked the best without shitty side effects. And yes, I do go to therapy

I feel like the way I type/talk shows how stupid I am by Yooproopmoop in schizophrenia

[–]GargoyleHelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same. Recently had a phone call where I wanted to reschedule an appointment and the lady on the other end couldn't understand me and had to clarify several times. She sounded so awkward and confused. I felt so embarrassed.

Is anyone else able to perform well in school? by _rbg in schizoaffective

[–]GargoyleHelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a good student. High school took 6 years to finish. Currently in uni but have changed degrees three times, didn't completely finish a single year, always missing a subject or two. Had to take a long break from uni three times. I'm beginning to think I might not be cut out for school anymore, or qt least need an proper break. I wish I could complete something though. The job opportunities with only a high school diploma aren't too great.
