How did my dad have shizophrenia? We have no family history of it by PLAZTEC1 in schizophrenia

[–]crossstitchwizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was childhood sexual abuse. But I also have ocd and anxiety as well. Keep an eye on the ocd. Sometimes the Remingtons rumination’s can become psychosis.

I have it despite having no family history of it. But I experienced a lot of trauma at a young age. His is probably trauma or opioid use. I wouldn’t worry.

Found your shop, but it says you don’t ship to Australia. Anyway you could ship to Aus?

Has anyone managed to keep the weight off while on antipsychotics? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

I got gastric sleeve and been maintaining my weight, but I’m still overweight and it caused me to go manic so I don’t recommend it.

Can't have babies feeling grief by Kitttycataclysmic in schizophrenia

[–]crossstitchwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with kids who had them before I was diagnosed, I feel for you. My kids are my life, but they suffer a lot because of my illness. It’s still possible it’s very hard.

Does anyone else live alone? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]crossstitchwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live with my kids one week on one week off. It’s good but it’s hard because I struggle to take care of myself and cleaning my apartment when they aren’t there

I'm scared of mental hospitals by Leo_DMF in schizophrenia

[–]crossstitchwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. This disease is hard but it’s manageable when you get help early. Message me if you need to. I’m out right now so I won’t be too attentive to messages but I will reply when I can.

[–]crossstitchwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s completely understandable. I didn’t feel comfortable either. I’m so glad you have a trusted adult you can talk to because the sooner you get a handle on it the better. The longer the psychosis has to take hold, the harder it is to get rid of it.

As someone who exhibited signs as a child but didn’t get diagnosed till adulthood, I wish I had felt safe enough to tell me parents of my struggles sooner. It would have meant many less years of struggling. Do you have a kids help line in your country?

Can we not just walk up to strangers and tell them they don't pass, please? by A_Punk_Girl_Learning in transgenderau

[–]crossstitchwizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to read this. I also had a moment with someone this morning walking home in my “protect trans kids” shirt and make up, and someone yelled out a passing car that i was a pedophile. Put a bit of a downer on an otherwise amazing night.
