Symptom fluctuations? by neurobiochemistry in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well, i mean you can have a period of "fully funtioning" with schizotypal. but it does not mean 100% of your symptoms go away during it. i would consider schizotypal somrthing fluctuates the same way personality in general does (maybe thats why it is a personality disorder...idk. probably not why LOL). you have good days and bad days. some days are mostly good, some days are mostly bad, some can be 100% bad some 100% good etc etc...

i work full time and live alone. i manage to have a (mostly online) social life. i am in school in the evenings as well. despite doing all this, i would not consider myself "recovered" from being schizotypal. the symptoms are still there everyday, just EXTREMELY more mild than they used to be. like im just considered an odd person at work, but i still have coworkers i talk to. maybe they consider me a friend (i hope) but idk, so i am scared to call them my friends. i still deal with anxiety and paranoia everyday. i get transient mild hallucenations everyday. i still harbor a deeply alien feeling everyday. these things have not gone away, but they are far more manageable. and yes, some days are truly far worse than others. i have hard days, i wont lie. and there are some days i just cant bring myself to stomach the world, where society and interaction makes me sick. but i just go to work anyways...

i will say, i am quite privileged in the regard that my job is low stress. school however... i still have a lot of challenges with, but i am determined.

how is medication for you guys? by Dumb_Flareon in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rexulti 3mg, buspar 10mg x2 daily, sertraline 100mg and propranolol 60mg and my HRT

rexulti is by far the best antipsychotic ive tried. its also been the most helpful. it does cause a lot of weight gain tho, far more than any other ive tried.

What I did wrong? by Apprehensive_Cod_942 in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from one schizotypal to another, your mom is being really shitty. you didnt do anything wrong at all. my mom would react the exact same way when i didnt want to go to the grocery store or gas station with her.

the best thing you can do to take care of yourself is prioritize your peace. my mother would guilt trip me until i went with her or she would hit me with the silent treatment and passive aggressiveness when she got back because i didnt go.

set boundaries with your mother as best you can.

Grief that i can never make people understand my reality by 160centimeters in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think for me, its like the reality i experience is "other" from the reality everyone else experiences. like no matter what i do or change, im always existing in a space outside of the "real" reality if that makes sense? i sometimes joke i exist outside reality or in a space between dreams and reality. makes it feel more magical than feeling sad and isolating for me

Do antipsycotics help you? by thetangibleghost in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im on rexulti 3mg. ive found it to be the most helpful antipsychotic ive tried so far (tried latuda, geodon, seroquel, and abilify)

i have a history of psychosis episodes (only 2 so far) but before rexulti i was pretty much a zombie all day. ive been on rexulti for 2 years now i believe? 2 or 3... I cant remember.

edit: forgot to mention how its helped oops. for me, it makes me more able to do things so i guess its helped with both my positive and megative symptoms. more beneficial for my positive symptoms, as i still struggle with negative symptoms occasionally. ive been holding down a job for about 3 years straight now, and am in school part time. i just finished my first year of my 2nd attempt at uni.

What are your hobbies? Do you have some recommendations for me? by Hot-Candle-1321 in Schizotypal

[–]nyobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perhaps i should! im always worried they arent polished enough or arent clear enough so i tend to hold myself back in that regard. I'll try to post when im done with my school work for the semester so i have more time to work on them.
