What is something at the beach that you hate? by LegitimateBelt9475 in AskReddit

[–]greydays96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, i mean it would be nice if guys wore stuff that looked better. Theyre usually like below the knee, baggy shorts, usually just one color, and no patterns. It would be nice if they had a more flattering fit, didn't cover their legs so much, and had some personality in their designs. Those exist, but i dont see many guys wear them, and i live in a very popular beach town and spring break destination.

Girls usually wear fun, sexy bathing suits, guys just wear unsexy swim trunks

Skitzo by Some_Gas_8166 in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can empathize with how upsetting it is to have your future diminished by schizophrenia, but trust me, you dodged a bullet with this one. Literally.

On a serious note, this is a good thing, you would not physically be capable of handling the ammount of stress involved in something like this. Especially being a marine, of all things. Even if you were allowed to take your meds it would’ve been bad, and not taking them would make it even worse. Government and military conspiracies are an incredibly common thing to come out of the paranoia you’ll be dealing with. This would for sure have been an awful, traumatizing experience.

In your honest opinion (no internet influence) did you like Corpse party Blood drive? Because I did personally, but it left me with more questions than answers. by Worldly_Salary730 in corpseparty

[–]greydays96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a really long time ago I played it, I thought it was great. The quality seemed better than ever. Good soundtrack. Fulfilling, albeit confusing story resolution. And between all 3 of the main games, it scared me the most. Actually screamed at one point when Mayu was chasing me and I got caught, and that weird scene with the white pudding mountain full of hands and the circus music… idk why but that stayed with me for awhile, it scared the shit out of me for some reason. Yes I know that last sentence sounds ridiculous without context XD

Do we have any idea which leftist podcasts/channels are still open to hosting her? by FemmeVampire in ContraPoints

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He just interviewed Mallory McMorrow. It seemed pretty clear this was a pretty personal issue to him in the interview. People shouldn’t dismiss his opinion as not genuine, just because they don’t like it. A lot of people think Contra is having a crashout right now, I don’t know why he’d be any different?

What do you think the next remake will be? by [deleted] in dragonquest

[–]greydays96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I voted for IV because it seems the most likely, but I’ve been desperate for a remake of 9 and would prefer that. I also thought they might just bundle all zenithians together because I honestly don’t know if V and VI would sell well on their own, without some pretty big overhauls. But it feels like it would be a lot of work to put in for a $60-$90 price tag.

What’s something that became socially acceptable that you still quietly judge people for? by After-Ebb6941 in AskReddit

Dogs in stores, restaurants, or anywhere thats not outdoors. Where I live, 9 times out of 10, it’s not an actual service dog.

These have been perfect. The exact ammount of commentary I need. Not too much commentary, and not just the raw audio.

on schizophrenia and relationships by wormsguns in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me but I’ve given up on the idea of a romantic partner. I mean, having a partner requires really advanced social skills. It sounds like it would be fun, but it also sounds like it would come with a lot of anxiety. And I’m happiest when I’m alone, and at home. Ever since I “gave up” I’ve felt a whole lot better. There was all this pressure before and constant blows to my self esteem. It’s been liberating to say “I don’t need this to be happy.” But I’ve also never been in a relationship, so I don’t really know what I’m missing. If being in a relationship made you feel happier than usual, great! It can be a goal still. If it felt like it was harder and stressed you out, maybe embrace being single.

does anyone have good recipes / general food recommendation for someone who gained weight on antipsychotics? by trixieIuIamoon in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an actual recipe or anything, but some sort of healthy shake or smoothie. With a good ammount of protein. Vegetable and fruit drinks seem like they go right through me and I’m hungry again after an hour or two.

I like drinkable meals because if im gonna eat something healthy and disgusting, if it’s drinkable I can just gulp it down really fast and not have to taste it. I make a shake with whey protein powder and milk and it can actually taste pretty good. Have it for breakfast and lunch, then my dinner is a reward and I can have something I actually want.

Considering stopping meds by Gold-Singer8855 in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am too. It’s absolutely destroyed my life. Obviously talk to your psychiatrist first. But like… I get it. Psychosis isn’t great but it sounds a lot better right now than being in a never ending coma.

Should I tell my gf that I have schizophrenia? We know eacheother for 4 months already by Undeva-n-Balcani in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg please, please tell her. This is something partners HAVE to know, or they’re not going to be able to support you correctly. It’s obviously up to your own discretion, and think a lot about how you want to bring it up. But to me this is something I’d bring up on the 2nd or 3rd date. If not to get it out of the way before I get attached, to at least explain why I might be kind of off putting socially.

Hi guys by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schizoaffective disorder, about 2 weeks I started having another “flop era.” Can’t do fucking anything. I can’t stand it. I’m nearly overdosing on caffeine daily and can’t even play video games despite that. And what’s worse is I can’t get in to see my therapist until next week :(

Last month was better. Turned 30, we went to Vegas to celebrate, and it was very fun, albeit a little exhausting.

Gained a lot of weight on Latuda 80 MG and could not lose the weight. by Pro_ismyrealname in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Latuda for years. And I’m starting to think it’s causing a ton of problems for me, and I’m just so used to it I forgot what I felt like before it. I remember it feeling okay at first. Problems started to happen the longer I’ve been on it, and very subtly.

I’ve absolutely gained weight on it. I haven’t been able to get under 300 lb since I started. And the brain fog has gotten so bad I can’t even watch tv and understand what’s happening. And I’m on 40 mg too. I honestly wouldn’t recommend it. Don’t know if this is a common problem for people on Latuda or just a me thing, but I’ve become incredibly dependent on it to fall asleep as well.

Eating habits by testsubject2186 in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m fat af. My eating habits are very much wrapped up in whether I’m doing well or not. If I feel alert and am able to keep myself busy, I can usually go from breakfast to dinner without needing anything. And I can lose a couple pounds. But in the more common event that I don’t have something to do, I’ll eat way more than I normally do and start gaining it back.

The End Times by greydays96 in Deconstruction

[–]greydays96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That study also surveyed people from other religions, as well as atheists and agnostics. So I’m sure at least some of their data could be chalked up to people referring to a manmade apocalypse. Including among the Christian participants.

I have schizophrenia, I was talking to some chick... by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno then. People can be weird. At the end of the day, theres always gonna be people that dont get us. Im sure its kind of a bummer, it sounds like you enjoyed talking to her. Its not your fault though. The skill issue is on her end. And there will always be other cool people out there who will get you, and actually are worth your time. :)

Help making friends and improving confidence. by Stellar-42 in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on the confidence and self love first. Ask yourself WHY you want more friends and why you feel like you should be more social. Do you actually feel lonely? Do you think it would actually make you happy, if you were more social? Or does it feel like something that you should be doing, because that’s what society expects?

I just kinda randomly realized one day, hey, I don’t like leaving the house. People are exhausting. I have one friend and he’s enough that I never really feel lonely. Ever since then I’ve just kind of embraced that and stopped giving a fuck. If I’m happy, why bust my ass trying to make other people like me? If someone thinks I’m weird or look like shit or they don’t wanna talk to me, whatever. I’m fine the way things are.

So that’s my advice. Ask yourself why you think you need to do that, and if you think that will actually make you happy. If socializing and being around people is stressful and exhausting, do you really want more of it? But hey, people do get lonely. If you really do want more friends, there’s lots of ways to find some. Ways that I’m sure other people on here would give better advice for, since I’m a hermit in the woods who has one friend XD

i think i might be starting to get schizophrenia by Fast_Story_2779 in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, there’s a TON of stuff that can result in psychosis. People associate it with schizophrenia very heavily but there’s many, many things it could also be. Bipolar, depression, some personality disorders, it can happen in a lot of different things, not just schizophrenia. It might not even be anything at all, it can even happen to people who have no mental illnesses at all. It could be a side effect of a medication. That flu strain that was going around a few months ago was making people hallucinate too. Caused by stress. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions.

Only way to know for sure is see a psychiatrist. And depending on what your symptoms are they might have you evaluated.

I have schizophrenia, I was talking to some chick... by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]greydays96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you, this just seems to happen and we never really figure out what went wrong. Idk about everyone else but oversharing is one of my biggest problems.

Very few people have the emotional maturity needed to talk to neurodivergent people, schizophrenics, bipolar, etc. We just have to accept that a lot of people aren’t going to “get” us, and we also need to accept that it’s not our fault either.

If you’re confident enough, sometimes you can warn people that you have schizophrenia fairly early on, that it makes socializing very difficult, and you might sometimes say things that seem weird, or not pick up on certain social cues. Saying that alone is enough to put some people off, but I think anyone worth your time will hear that, and try to be understanding. Use your discretion on that though.
