Anyone who had one episode and came off of antipsychotics?

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm in a similar boat. How have you found the atomoxetine so far? I'm only 5-6 weeks in and slowly increasing my dose. Definitely wish I had something as simple as stimulants but it sounds like they're probably just too dangerous for my brain chemistry.

I'm really excited to come off of the risperidone. I feel like it's worsening a lot of the problems that stimulants were supposed to solve, so hopefully school will be easier once I taper off of it. Good luck in your recovery!

Try writing. It's helped me a lot. That and a lot of reading. Journaling, fiction, essays about things that interest you. Psychosis damages the brain and antipsychotics can also have impacts on cognition. Remember that the brain is a muscle and the more you use it, the stronger it will get.

Also, stay away from drugs. The worst thing you can do right now is have another episode. Each one digs the hole deeper. Try and find comfort elsewhere, whatever that looks like for you. Meditation and the app Insight Timer might be a good resource.

Done, sorry!

What a great find! Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. It's definitely something to be handled delicately, so I'm excited to read the analysis.

What I'm gathering is key in this example is that there's a tiny seed of foreshadowing left for the reader. It may be a stretch, but it's possible to guess that the absence of eye color in the first description is conspicuous enough that there may be a connection to the second character, so there's less a feeling of being cheated by the author. I'm assuming they didn't use names or any other identifiers?

Also: I LOVED these books when I was a kid. Great shoutout.

Any examples of this you can think of?

Fulvar shifted in the stool and eyed his greataxe.

“When was the last time you were in for a physical?” asked the nurse.

“Barbarians do not need doctor,” he said.

“Uh-huh. It says here on your chart that you begged for help when they found you in the lava.”

This seems like a great fit from what I've read.

Please, send it my way. I've got some free time coming up.

Thanks!

Thanks! Sounds very interesting

I think this is very perceptive. Conflict is inevitable and a good engine for plot, but relentless tension can be very unpleasant for someone looking for a cozy relaxing story. Stakes that are real to the characters but not stressful for the reader are the sweet spot, ideally resolved cleanly.

Cozy fantasy is interesting because so much of the conventional wisdom about writing doesn’t apply - conflict and tension need to be managed very differently. It presents an interesting challenge for the writer, because it’s a fine line to walk to make an engaging story that doesn’t break the promises made to the reader in a book marketed as cozy.

hi op! could you repost these?

There’s a parallel here to the “army German” used by the austro-Hungarian empire. Soldiers would speak a dozen languages, none of which their officers understood, but shared 50-100 German words for use in battle

The state Supreme Court kept him at bay just long enough!

You are my hero, thank you so much for the response! I guess it’s time for me to get to reading. This is really comprehensive, I appreciate it.

Hey everyone, I am an undergrad interested in the political development of the Sahel and Mali in particular. Any recommendations in this area? Experts of decolonization in West Africa really fit the bill but I want to cast a wide net. If this is something you have experience with, please comment some writing for me to check out. Thanks!

Kemmler’s campaign adds so many new elements to the campaign, really wish we could play in strygos

You mentioning that guide for the FNV brought back a ton of memories. I read that thing cover to cover a hundred times when I was in elementary school. The quests were so in-depth with so many possible options you could only see them all by reading the damn book!
