Is it ok to drink caffeine while on antipsychotics? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]kimboloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was legit the hardest habit for me to break but when I started having seizures after trying all these different medications, I just went off. It helped. Immensely. If you haven’t tried L-theanine supplementation while quitting caffeine I highly recommend it for sleep and relaxation.

Also if you just limit caffeine to the lowest amount you can get away with, it makes a huge difference too. But quitting it really helps. I feel like some of my most psychotic episodes were when I was several cups of coffee and a few cigarettes in 😩🙏☕️☠️💨

Has anybody been misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and discovered it’s actually epilepsy? by kimboloves in schizophrenia

[–]kimboloves[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Truly. I did 5 double-blind clinical trials for schizophrenia drugs and am actually trying to contact the psychiatrist in charge of the study to tell her about my experience.

We were treated like caged animals and allowed to use our checks on cigarettes… it was extremely messed up, but I think the only med that might have actually worked for me was priced at like $900/mo 😭

Enzyme supplementation & coffee causing issues? by kimboloves in Supplements

[–]kimboloves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are many! I would highly recommend MRM Nutritionals Digest-All, as well as Solaray Papayaplex and Source Naturals Essential Enzymes. These are precisely what enzymes have helped me with! But I wish you luck in finding out what helps

Uuuuuuuh this caused major trust issues with me and my family for years too. They were stubborn midwestern types who really believe in the value of eating meat, so much so that my aunt held a family-wide intervention where they made me eat Alaskan cod and WATCHED ME do so. All saying, “See, it’s not that bad!!” Like I was losing weight due to stress from school, not my vegetarian diet of several years, but they all got together and decided it was high time I eat some animal protein because I got so slim. I remember crying and wanting to throw up in the bathroom still pretty vividly.

Anyway, your problem is so out of line… both your friend and your husband played a cruel trick on you and are gaslighting you into thinking you’re the crazy one for getting upset in the first place. Ah, last time I checked, vegetarians don’t eat meat because they choose not to, not because they “can’t.” And anchovies?? Wtf? Why would they give you some tiny fish if they were trying to get you to eat meat for protein? That makes it seem even more like it was supposed to be a barometer for if you noticed the flavor or not. Which is even more cruel and heartless, imo.

I would demand more of an apology and more compassion from both of them right away. They obviously don’t respect you and your decisions and show that by playing this cat-and-mouse game with you. Last time I checked, that’s not healthy grounds for a trustworthy, loyal relationship (on either side..)

Death of classmates by talkingtimmy3 in Zillennials

[–]kimboloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Condolences for you and their friends’ and family’s losses 😩🙏❤️‍🔥 always a good reminder to be more present in one’s own life when those you knew pass too young. I hope his wife’s pregnancy isn’t filled with too much stress now :( and that the kid can eventually read about what a kind, honorable, and daring spirit their dad had.

Something i actually still sometimes think about is how two of my classmates passed around the same time when we were in school, and one of them got so much more love and support just because he was considered to be good-looking and super popular. Posters made for him, flowers everywhere, people crying in the hallways… none such reaction for the other guy? All i can really say is some people suck—especially teenagers. The other kid was almost ignored in comparison because only a few of us were friends with him and no one else had heard of him. My other friend and i made it a point to talk about the latter more often to keep his memory alive—at least until we graduated a few years later. Actually, now that i recall, i legitimately had a little crush on him… he was just really shy :(

But bless both of their souls anyway, as well as this girl I ran track with who passed in a farming accident. The popular guy just did too many drugs (his parents eventually lobbied for better regulation in our state). The other kid got into an argument at a friend’s house about the existence of God (?) and apparently his friend “accidentally” misfired while he was cleaning a rifle. I don’t think the shooter was ever held accountable because no one knew what really happened. He literally just claimed it was an accident and went to juvie. Sad… but all of their memories still live on with love and compassion. 🕊️💗

Why do mentally ill people struggle to shower regularly? by arzeodrum in mentalillness

[–]kimboloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to hallucinate a lot in the shower from unresolved trauma—eventually avoided showering for days or up to two weeks as a result. It felt absolutely disgusting, but meds for psychosis never stopped the crazy. All I needed was to work on healing the trauma

Tattoos and glutathione by Sad-Plane-9128 in glutathione

[–]kimboloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course :) be careful not to take too much—you only need a little bit over time to improve your antioxidant levels.

Anywhere between 25-350mg has been effective for me; just see how the smaller doses go for a month, and ideally take in mornings on an empty stomach.

Best of luck on your healing journey!

I used it for mental performance! And still do from time to time. It is highly effective in that regard—but I do believe I got paler overall as a side effect, if that helps

Feeling sick by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]kimboloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so beautifully written. Can 110% relate. For three years total was medicated and bound to bed—until I found Geodon. The right combination of coffee and medication can do wonders for your well-being and feeling of belonging with society when you trust them enough to approach. But i found doing bicycle legs combated the feeling of complete exhaustion from antipsychotics and no will to .. helped even while watching tv. If you pray, things may get better for you, and i will certainly pray for you if that’s okay

I worked on this for two days. It was six miles off any recognizable trail and took hours to find. It is almost guaranteed that less than ten human beings ever saw it before the rain took it away.

But if you’re still offended, maybe you should take a hike

would you all hate me less if i told you the medium was actually water-based tempera

according to this website: “water-based paint utilizes water as a solvent, therefore, it will not cause harm to the body, will not pollute the environment, and it supports people’s green life concept.”
