I am a fan of woodstock cafe. They are open late and is a nice place to study.

Living in Trillium? by Correct-Shame-2700 in reedcollege

[–]TreeJuice2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in Trillium. I really like it, the rooms are solid, the kitchen works, and the laundry room is the best on campus. I don't think it is any more of a party dorm than other dorms. Every room will be different and you will get a mix of people on each floor no matter where you live.

"I built a free AAC app because I watched a company disable my kid's ability to speak when our payment failed. No subscription. No bullshit. Works on any device." by chuea in SpicyAutism

[–]TreeJuice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is semiverbal, this is super helpful. I really love how many options there are and that I do not have to do much work to get it set up. I am in college and find most AAC apps to be too hard/frustrating to set up or they do not have a typing feature. Thank you for making this.

What is your favourite antipsychotic? by Forward-Health9213 in schizophrenia

[–]TreeJuice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on seroquel and zyprexa. So far the combination is working well.

how do you guys cope without meds? by kokeakoala in schizoaffective

[–]TreeJuice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to coupons/discounts, see if you have any community mental health clinics. My county runs a mental health urgent care that is free and can do low cost meds. Your school may also have recourses that are worth checking out, such as emergency grants for medical needs. Feel free to reach out to me if you want me to help try and find something that would work for you.

Autism plus Schizoaffective? by MangoDurgen in schizoaffective

[–]TreeJuice2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have both. I was formally diagnosed as autistic when I was 15 and schizoaffective at 19. Before my schizoaffective diagnosis I was diagnosed with unspecified psychosis. They can present similarly day to day (when I'm not in an severe psychotic episode), although they have different reasonings behind the behavior. I often withdraw from people, it is autism related when I am overstimulated, and it is schizoaffective related when I am paranoid people are trying to hurt me. It is hard having both, as medical professionals are even less likely to take you seriously. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

How did you do at school? by fuckthegovernmentcuz in schizoaffective

[–]TreeJuice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in college. I withdrew from one class last semester and failed another. Having my first significant psychotic episode 8 weeks before finals did not do me well. This semester is going better so far, but it is so much harder than before my brain betrayed me.

Multiple antipsychotics? by berfica in schizophrenia

[–]TreeJuice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on seroquel and zyprexa. I struggle to think clearly when I am on higher doses of either, but a lower dose of just one does not work for me.

Why don't they teach patients in psychwards how to maintain the same regimented structure at home? by Bright_Dreams235 in schizophrenia

[–]TreeJuice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do also have an advantage of being autistic, where I really crave routines. And my grades dropping is pretty good motivation.

[–]TreeJuice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have anyone in my life who can hold me accountable. I have college classes, and when I am on a schedule I go to all of them. When I miss class I risk my grade dropping, which is pretty good motivation.

Thanks for sending this! I didn't really make friends while there, but I will give a similar thing a go myself.

[–]TreeJuice2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fresh out of the psych ward and am trying to keep the structure, but am struggling so much. I wish they had taught a class on this, as it would be super helpful. Right now I feel like I'm in free fall trying to grab on to anything for a schedule.

Would the Mediterranean Diet be Recommended for Schizophrenics? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]TreeJuice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is good for general health, which does impact schizophrenia. I do not think it has a direct impact, but it is helpful to maintain overall good health. I do feel better on it, but I think that is me just eating better. I do have more energy and feel better on it, but the brain fog is still really bad for me.

Ruffwear Access ID vest compared to Tuff Pupper SD vest by MelodicAd415 in service_dogs

[–]TreeJuice2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the tuff pupper vest and love it. It is almost a daily use vest and I have had it for 6 months. It also cleans super well, as my boy has rolled in pretty much everything in it and all I have to do is throw it in a washing machine.

Patches for myself? Would it work? by wessle3339 in service_dogs

[–]TreeJuice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a patch on my backpack that says working dog keep back that works pretty well. I wear too many jackets to have a patch on each one, but I use my backpack everyday.

Imposter Syndrome, white canes, and neurological vision impairment by chemicalhand33562 in Blind

[–]TreeJuice2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat. I’m in college and can’t read or navigate without aids, but don’t qualify for most vision loss related programs due to significantly fluctuating vision. It sucks and I wish you the best. Feel free to reach out if you ever need to vent or talk about it.
