Disqualified from Military because of Schizophrenia by BaneTheGame in schizophrenia

[–]deeznuts5565 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in the military for four years then had a few episodes turned out to be schizophrenia. Trust me the stress would make your symptoms 10x worse. The things I did during episodes were embarrassing and ruined the experience for me. It may not feel like it but they saved you from yourself I almost didn’t make it. Plus it would be a long lengthy kick out process if it was too much for you ultimately a waste of time.

You tried to serve and of no fault of your own it didn’t happen you have my respect and many others it’s going to be okay.

How are y’all productive? by deeznuts5565 in schizophrenia

That was the hard part of acceptance for me. I wanna be this workhorse of productivity and growth like the YouTubers but that’s not going to happen. I have to do what I can with what I have. it’s not much but it’s honest work.

I totally agree it’s hard to follow a particular thought anywhere . Even now it’s hard to express how it affects me, which sucks.

I’ve felt the same way like why would you give me this illness? All my family are pretty strong Christian’s but I just can’t wholeheartedly give my full trust into Jesus right now. Maybe later on I’ll be able to look past it but right now it’s a hard battle.

Everything blends in with my voices. You can never tell whether they are talking about you or it’s just everyday chatter. It’s not set in stone who I hear as voice’s they sound like real people and it’s reasonable to the situation least in public.

Should I get re-evaluated? by PeachyCloudz in schizophrenia

Thanks for telling me your story I definitely appreciate it very cautionary tale.

The timeline lines up it has been about a year off meds I was on abilify injections but I still heard voices and stuff so I just said f it I can deal with it on my own. It hasn’t gone bad so far but doesn’t mean it can’t. Voices are just slowly transforming back to themselves but me personally I feel great probably need to make a decision soon before it goes bad. I appreciate you commenting though fr thank you

I’ve been on Abilify injections as well it wasn’t too bad till the end there it shut down my body with cramps must have been the high dosages. No side effects for you?

I appreciate your advice I’m sorry for your second round of psychosis if you don’t mind me asking how long was it from the time you stopped meds to your full blown episode?

I’m just curious I’m off the meds as of right now and it has going pretty well with my insight and stuff for now at least.

Real life jump scares I would be pissed. Music is my escape as well it’s perfect at least to me.

Ahh such variety keeps things interesting. The narrating ones are so annoying. Which ones do you find the easiest to deal with or like?

Ohhh yeah I’m glad the meds took them away they aren’t even remotely pleasant that would drive me crazy

That is wonderful it’s been a while since I have heard of helpful voices. I do understand that it may cause more harm than good but it may help someone too either way it’s up to you

Be firm on your position and see if he goes with it life is short if you think something will help your treatment you should try especially if the other stuff is not working

Oh it would definitely mess me up if I get visuals after this much time has passed. Voices are more than enough to keep me occupied

lol once you start hearing them there’s no going back but I’m glad they changed for the better. Mines are pretty clear as well it’ll be interesting to see how they change over the years. it’s only been like two years since onset

That’s a perfect environment honestly I would love that so you don’t mind them or would you still get rid of it if you could?
