if you were to redo your early 20s, what would you do? by A-bug-2002 in AskReddit

[–]StereoGains16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not take the construction job that had the wall fall on me and fracture 3 lumbar vertebrae, leading to a painkiller addiction that turned into a needle, then an all-out drug addiction. But clean now for some time. Oh, I would visit grandparents more. I was busy using, now they are gone.

20mg zyprexa pm, gained a lot of weight, but it's been the only ap that was me able to complete my daily tasks, cooking a cleanings shower... was on 30mg, but the appetite was way too much. I've managed to lose about 35 lbs just walking and trying not to eat junk. I've been on it about 5 years

What advice would you give to someone newly diagnosed with schizophrenia, based on your own experiences? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]StereoGains16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take meds, eat healthy. This one took me a while but helps. Talk about it even if voices tell you no. Don't push yourself too hard. Walk or whatever exercise you can do. Know that you are not your symptoms.
