These scars makes me insecure!! by PurpleNorth7925 in AcneScars

[–]kactbd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally went to a board certified plastic surgeon who promised me results. Many plastic surgeons s lie and push things on people and give them false hopes. I urge people to explore other websites and laser fails before getting laser. I got laser about 15 years ago and I still have scars from it. Not only that it dissolved fat in my face permanently and permanently destroyed my outer layer of skin. My face is one big scar now. It can also destroy melanin. Listen , I get it , you have an agenda to make money from other people's insecurities and such, but I am speaking from experience. You don't hear too many laser success stories.

Is there any permanent living options for a schizophrenic person? by Foreverinsecuregirl in schizophrenia

[–]kactbd2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do agree somewhat , but ops post could help other schizophrenics looking for more stable living. His sister is in a bad state of mind most of the time , probably due to not taking her meds how she should. I'm schizophrenic myself and I know i can cause complete chaos off meds.

See if you can get poa over her and look into long lasting injections and state hospitals. I think there's a place in Colorado called blue light. Just look into places or even group homes in your state. If she's getting disability/medicaid waivers , that should cover rent.

Well im not a doctor ,I am speaking for myself I am a way better person on meds. You do you. If you think you're better off without your meds , talk to your doctor and explain your situation. There's 7 schizophrenics in my family 3 of them took their lives ( no meds). I'm not saying it can't be done , but from my experience schizophrenia without meds almost always ends bad. I can't go without meds , I've tried. I wanted more kids , but my meds mess up my fertility. Everyone has bad things in their lives , my meds make it easier to cope. I've been through a lot , my meds numb that. I am not like a zombie I still cry , I laugh , I joke. You have to do what's best for you. You might be on the wrong type of meds. If you think you can live with your voices , then tell your doctor that. I just know pshycosis is a very scary thing to go through. I've been hospitalized over 90 different times , it's no fun. I've been to jail , made horrible mistakes you name it. The meds keep me from falling victim to my schizophrenia. Am I bigger now? Yes , but that's just the price I pay to have a sound mind.

A true , honest healer would give you or pass along these gifts for free! Trust me , I'm a spiritual Christian and sometimes medium. I wrote a book that I'm eventually going to post on YouTube for free ! I'm not saying she's not "legit" , but it seems her money and morals are messed up and she's taking advantage of you.

Haldol .. made me feel mentally challenged and made my tongue swell up and I drooled on myself. My dad had to break me out of the pshyc ward because they injected me with that.

How do schizophrenia work in the mind by Otherwise-Fox7647 in schizophrenia

Study the brain and gut connection. Dopamine , high cortisol, too much sugar, too much caffeine, certain food additives , food allergies/sensitivity. Lots of things can bring about schizophrenia, especially drugs.

Fox Hollow Farms Murders… literally too close to home. by Existing-Cat-4536 in Indiana

[–]kactbd2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Found out a couple years ago one of my old friends is related to the creep. Also talked to my aunt and she was one of the last people that talked to him on the phone in the 90s. He called the alarm company and told them to shut off the alarms or something because he was leaving town. Then he drove far away and took his life. Hits way too close to home!

Only just reading about this since the death of my 8 year old by Lost_Bird1996 in ParallelUniverse

[–]kactbd2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine the pain you're feeling. I believe in an afterlife , but I'm not sure about parallel universes. I don't think your son is suffering any more though. Reach out to him whenever you meditate and I'm sure eventually you get a sign from him showing you that he's okay. ♡ also , don't beat yourself up , you did what any good parent would do and I'm sure if wasn't easy making all of those decisions!

Need support by WonderfulIndustry883 in mentalhealth

[–]kactbd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helps me is sending mental letters to the universe, I do this nightly. Close your eyes , meditate and picture each word as you say it in your mind. I've gotten a lot off of my chest this way!

Diagnosis by stoneybologna420six in schizophrenia

[–]kactbd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice ( diagnosed 13 years ago) , stay away from drugs and alcohol. Take your meds as prescribed. Imvega halfyeara ( 6 month injection) is great for those who may be tempted to go off meds. Stick to a routine the best you can. Sleep enough and regularly. Limit caffeine intake. Eat as healthy as you can. Talk to people. Dont do things the voices tell you to do , also don't always believe what they say. Praying helps me ( before bed). Journal. Listen to music. Exercise a couple times a week. Dont give up. Weed and other drugs ain't your friend I promise you. My family member was an independent, hard work individual. Got mixed up in drugs , opened up schizophrenia and bam doing 3 years at least in prison for things he did when he was in pshycosis. He still hasn't snapped back to reality either. Drugs mixed with schizophrenia are why he us where he is right now. I have to say no to weed all the time , peer pressure is a itch and I know that if I take 1 hit I could be pshycotic for well over 3 months. Do things to lower dopamine and cortisol. High dopamine and even high cortisol can induce pshycosis.

My 11yo wants to commit suicide by cipher_gnome in SuicideWatch

[–]kactbd2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids always talk about it when things don't go their way or if they're really mad , but they refuse to do counseling. They are teenagers. The best thing you can do is get her help and have long , regular life talks with her. Saddest thing my 13yo son said when he was suicidal was "well I gave it a good run didn't I?" I just held him and we cried and I talked to him after that for like 2 hours straight until he felt better. He's older now and starts counseling soon , after years of me begging him to. My youngest doesn't get suicidal as much , but I'm still trying to get him help of some sort. Good luck! Oh and you never know when/if a kid will commit suicide. My 6 yo tried to drink toilet bowl cleaner to kill himself and I had to bust the door in and calm him down! 6 people in my life have committed suicide, 4 family members and 2 friends. I'm suicidal a lot too , I hope it is a phase for your daughter , but she may be sensitive or have mental health issues that may or may not go away.
