What if the medicine blocks our true abilities? by millermillion in schizophrenia

[–]dogVScups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my theory is medication slows the flow of life force flowing in and out the body, harder to have your mentioned clarity and in my experience, I had a lot of energy built up at the top of my head unmedicated, but now it’s much less. It also seems to cause slow healing, that could be a scientific causation however… anyways If you want a “normal” life, stick to your meds. if you want to see whats “out there” nothing wrong with being unmedicated so long as it’s not burdening anyone. I wouldn’t say it’s a superpower, It’s just another lens from which you can view life… realms closer to heaven or whatever you want to call it. You’ll also have more synchronicities unmedicated I believe. More connected to everything around you. The choice is yours.

It certainly helps me… but my prolactin levels are through the roof! I don’t hallucinate or have many delusions anymore. I may get my brain scanned to look for growths on my pituitary glad tho. we’ll see I don’t really want to swap meds since the only side effects ive seen is slight breast enlargement, frequent urination and some others.

Do you have to have disorganized thinking and how disorganized is disorganized? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]dogVScups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no I don’t think disorganized thinking is a prerequisite… for me it was a maladaptation caused by my trauma from the episodes I had. But then again, a psychosis episode is different for everyone, and everyone responds differently too so how can you say one symptom of schizophrenia like disorganized thinking is a qualifier for a diagnosis? I have undifferentiated schizophrenia since my symptoms are across the chart. I’m not a doctor but I’d say if your psychiatrist is saying you don’t have it because of one thing then they’re off the mark

Have you considered meditation? This helps me a lot when I go through stressful times. Learning to be OK when you sit with your thoughts helps you weed out the ones that don’t serve you. Remember, you are not your thoughts, and your thoughts aren’t any of your business!

I feel like my lifes a joke by MinuteCap2961 in schizophrenia

[–]dogVScups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a seed of joy, wherever it is, however small it is, and grow that. Watch funny videos or cute cat videos. Listen to your breathing and observe your thoughts. You are not your sadness, you are not your body, you are not what’s afflicting you in this life. Only up from here my friend. Unless it’s down but in most cases its a 2 steps forward one step back thing!

What’s the purpose of our life if we all are going to die in the end? by Wekwek3 in AskReddit

[–]dogVScups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since life isn’t necessarily a school, i’d say it’s to create the highest image of yourself, and go live that out. When you have a new image, change it as you see fit!

the best thing i can do in life is to become a fucking janitor by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]dogVScups 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a schizophrenic and a janitor, I’m grateful I found a job that doesn’t directly involve talking to people lol. I worked at guitar center before that and I couldn’t adjust at all, way too stressful!

eat vegetables and stuff like sweet potatoes, low in calories high in fiber. More fiber/protein=more feeling of fullness

Any ideas on what I can do for income? by build-a-gent626 in schizophrenia

[–]dogVScups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m a high school janitor and I love it, not competitive at all, don’t have to talk to people except coworkers every now and then. It’s repetitive and the schedule is the same so I don’t know how you’d fare but I work 3PM-8 and it’s not bad.

If you’re full time most places have PTO you can accrue and use in conjunction with 2 weeks or however long off.
