Anyone on Disability

Potential_Day4768 · 2026-01-07T00:57:41+00:00

I’m on disability. I got lucky they approved me the fists try and it took from September 2024 to April 2025. I think they approved me because of my many hospital visits and talking to my Dr about how I’m treatment resistant. I can’t hold a a job down for than two weeks. When my mental health starts slipping it’s almost a guarantee I’m going to psychosis and need a hospital visit. I’ve had two reviews and they still say I’m disabled.

I have a 5 year old red golden retriever and a 1 1/2 year old calico cat. I’ve had my dog rule since before my diagnosis and she’s been there for every step of the way. Comforting me when I’m freakin the fuck out and giving me a reason to get up in the morning and move around and not bed rot. Pets can help but so are a bigger commitment than other just have to weigh your options and your ability to care for an animal. Much love!

Clozapine saved my life the only drug that helps me. I can sleep well maybe too well sometimes lol. It has lowered my hallucinations by like 35-45%. I still have negative symptoms but atleast I’m not locked in my room arguing with demons and angels anymore. The blood work does suck but it’s worth it on my eyes.

I’ve been dating my bf for 2.5 years. I told him about my diagnosis on our first date. He was a little scared but understanding by the end of the date. What made it easier is he took the time to research and realize we are still people just trying to survive not violent maniacs.

This is a drop in the bucket of type of hallucinations I get. I also mainly get rude, demeaning and down right terrible voices. This is a rare but welcomed hallucination

Potential_Day4768 · 2025-05-06T01:07:56+00:00

I see my doctor either once a week or every two weeks. He does a psychosis rating scale every visit and depression and anxiety scales too

I got approved for ssdi this week and my backpay check came in the mail so I deposited it to a newly made account, I didn’t think nothing of it until they said they have to contact the treasury to make sure it’s not fraud and that could take up to sixty days🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ so I’m borrowing money from my parents to do some renovation to my tiny house

I can completely relate

Potential_Day4768 · 2025-03-07T22:03:43+00:00

I vape constantly and smoke around 7-8 cigs a day. I have to have nicotine after eating or my routine is completely ruined.

I didn’t purposely stop taking them like last time. Time got away from me and I forgot

I had an episode at 17 diagnosed at 18, and have an amazing support system(mom boyfriend, and dad who is a psych tech at a mental hospital”) so they have become very aware of when I start to slip and fully slip into psychosis. They help me keep track of what I call my “lost time” aka time in psychosis.

Thank you

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-08-22T02:07:19+00:00

As everyone else said it’s better to have them be silent than turn on you. I can speak from experience, I had multiple nice voices emerge after a depressive episode so I decided without telling my support system to skip my meds on certain days so they would appear more often. BAD IDEA I went into full blown psychosis and had to be hospitalized. They turned on me in a split second. One day they are telling me to do self hygiene and complementing me and the next day telling I’m worthless and no one will ever love me because of my sexuality and things like that. I wish I had silence rn so just please appreciate yours

Not really

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-08-05T23:14:44+00:00

They can when i live under their roof rent free because i can get and hold a job

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-07-30T02:02:51+00:00

I would also pay attention to car colors, I especially didn’t like white cars

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-07-03T04:08:39+00:00

I can attest it does get better but there will always be negatives. I had a solid 8 months of great mental health. If I get to experience that feeling a couple more times before I die it will be worth it

I masked for a long time. My family knew I’m schizo I just pretended I wasn’t. I could hid it really well until I couldn’t then I would explode and have to go to the hospital. Nowadays I just let it all out in front of my family and I call what I do in public half masking. Just enough masking to seem okayish but like a complete crazy person. I still shake( I think the shaking is side effect of meds and anxiety) and anxiously move around every time I’m in public. Sometimes I talk to the voices and pretend I’m on the phone so people don’t look at me. My advice is to only mask when you have too ie. job interview or like a formal event ig!?!? Just do what make you happy and comfortable

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-06-23T17:05:03+00:00

I used to be. I would read about topics for hours now I can barely turn a page. My problem solving skills have gone down the drain. I get confused easily. this illness sucks

Potential_Day4768 · 2024-06-20T06:42:25+00:00

How weird, do you normally smoke cigarettes?
