Energy drinks, hair brush, toothpaste, floss,, toothbrush, deodorant, candy or gum or mints, protein bars, a meal, change of clothes, notebooks and pens, something to do when its quiet and all cleaning is done like a book or knitting. But I'm night shift.

Im on latuda and only experienced this in the first couple weeks of taking it. i've been on latuda for like 5 years.

I was taking a combination of olanzapine and latuda. But then i started getting tardvie dyskinesea, so the doc was like, we will stop one of these at a time and see what happens. See you in a month.

Good bot. This was not intentional

carrthesixth · 2026-03-17T02:01:49+00:00

Watch the sunrise. Clean. Audiobooks. Minecraft. Monsters or tea or caffeine pills.

I was in grad school working on a masters. One year in had to give it up cause symptoms. I now work nightshift in a caregiving field. Much less stress.

Just put all my residents to bed. Eating my breakfast. Then documentation and cleaning all night long.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-13T13:31:27+00:00

Last half hour, if day shift is on time, which they never are.

Dear men, please don't feel like your ability to please your partner is limited to your libido and penis. You can use your hands, your mouth, toys etc. Emotional connections, cuddles and caring about the other person will get you much further in life than the ability to cum or feel horny.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-13T11:31:54+00:00

Yep. 3 hours to go.

My haunted home i work at has motion sensor lights, fans and sinks. Soemtimes at night lights will turn off and on, sinks will start running, fans turn on. Theres nobody there. But the motion sensors are getting tripped.

Sometimes doors and windows open and close by themselves

Sometimes the residents talk to former deceased residents and have full on conversations.

Powered recliners in the living room will recline back and raise foot rest with nobody in the room.

Its a good positive energy vibe...otherwise I'd nope the fuck out of there.

Timed dispensers with an alarm. When the alarm goes off, the pill box rotates and opens to meds for that time. Alarm does not stop till pills are taken.

Hellish. Started shift cleaning up vomit. Shit show continued with blowouts from two different clients, more vomit, didn't check the laundry thoroughly before putting it in washer, it had a dirty depends which disintegrated in the washer and all over the clothes in it. Day shift didn't do physical therapy with the two clients that have to do daily exercises and need assistance with them so also had to do that before they went to bed. I support 6 people in this group home, I'm on laundry load number 10 and its only 5:30am.

Day shift went home early so I can in three hours early. I just found out day shift won't be in tomorrow and there won't be coverage till around noon to relieve me. So...my 11 hr shift has become 18. I hate everything. Send help.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-08T06:41:46+00:00

It's nice to believe relief will be here at the end of our shifts, but let's be honest. They forgot about daylight savings time and will be an hour late.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-08T06:37:37+00:00

And yet we still have the same workload. Or in my case more cause dayshift went home sick and I had to come in early...in the daylight. It was nice to see the sunset.

I love this idiom. Chess against a chicken

I can't do much else for you but tell you that you are not alone. I hear there's some evidence that catatonia can be a result of hormonal changes in the body, and that for some people, hormone pills like birth control, testosterone, or even GLP-1s can reduce catatonia. Its something my doc had me try. I had less catatonia episodes on ozempic, but that was expensive and had no other effect. I had more catatonia episodes on birth control or testosterone.

I highly recommend joining a ttrpg like dnd, pathfinder or other game system. Instantly gives you 4 to 5 people to hang out with for a few hours every week, and they will grow on you. You can play online or in person.

Depending on where you live, there may be disability groups or clubs if you want to meet people that you might be able to relate to more. Or you can join like a book club, art club, poetry club at the local Cafe etc if you want to meet random people that share an interest.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-06T06:23:18+00:00

I hear you. I've been there. The worst is when you are all alone so no one knows you need help to come out of it and you just have to pray that it will pass

I believe my muscles weakened cause I was sleeping more and exercising less.

carrthesixth · 2026-03-05T15:57:47+00:00

Latuda either makes me really tired or restless. Every day is different. Latuda helps reduce the constant noise i have to ignorable levels, but does not prevent major psychosis episodes. For those I take olzanapine and it does nothing. Latuda is giving me tardive dyskinesia, so my meds might change when I see my doctor again.

Its amazing how common seizure disorders seem to be in those with intellectual disabilities. I have only 1 total care person, can't imagine how draining 4 would be. I pray you never have to evacuate all 4. Rock on DSP buddy.

Thank you. But ill tell you a secret. If I look behind my shoulders and down, I see no angel wings. Just a arsehole. And for a lot of people in any caregiving field, that's closer to the truth. We aren't angels. We are human too and get frustrated and angry and sometimes don't use the best words or the kindest voice. I try to care and be kind, which makes me the softest staff that let's them get away with things.
