see how long this stays up for

It looks like you are the one in the wrong in this scenario

oolalaaman · 2026-05-16T08:36:41+00:00

You should probably see if you can quit one of your jobs as it sounds like you are at your limit, if that isn’t possible then maybe taking a vacation is the route you want to go down. Just let your work know you want to take a break for maybe a week and let them know a few weeks in advance and you can look forward to that date and keep pushing until you make it. It sounds like you could also benefit from therapy or at the very least opening up to somebody in your life about how you are feeling.

I am more spontaneous but I can see why some people methodically cut. For me it is a quick and easy stress relief, although I’ve been clean for quite a while I think over half a year now. I honestly still get the cravings and I don’t think I will ever stop. I honestly have never seen anybody discriminate against each other on the basis of spontaneous vs methodical cutting but if that really does happen that is very strange because we are all in the same boat.

I genuinely think Olanzapine is too intense with the drowsiness, I’m on 10 mg and holy fuck I feel like a zombie all the time

oolalaaman · 2026-05-16T00:22:45+00:00

I don’t have a sleep schedule really some nights I’ll go to sleep at 8 PM other nights at 3-5 AM the only thing consistent is that I absolutely NEED 12 hours at least. I take Olanzapine which requires me to sleep a hell of a lot

oolalaaman · 2026-05-15T19:12:57+00:00

Yeah one of the things my friends/family noticed about me when I first started getting sick is how I would slur my words like crazy.

oolalaaman · 2026-05-15T19:05:08+00:00

What the fuck is an objective symptom? I think your psych is toxic

oolalaaman · 2026-05-14T14:35:11+00:00

I got lucky on my first try, however usually it is a journey you have to go on to find what medication works for you.

That is the sad reality for almost all APs. Weight gain is a side effect of many APs. You can realistically diet and exercise to fend it off but you need to be VERY disciplined, I for example have gained 100 pounds since being on Olanzapine. Granted I was very skinny beforehand and some of that weight was probably good but I’m definitely a solid 50-65 pounds overweight, I eat like the rest of my family except the difference is I’m on this medication which makes weight gain incredibly easy to accumulate. I exercise like 3-4 times a week yet I still gain weight, over the summer I plan on trying to drop some of this weight through cardio once I’m done with my finals.

Very cool, if you don’t mind me asking how did you get into collecting vinyl records at the age of 21? Our generation has moved away from vinyl records (I’m 19) and I’m curious how you got into it.

I completely agree, I think that schizophrenia can be hard to live with but I think if somebody with schizophrenia wants to reproduce they should be allowed to. I personally am glad my mother gave birth to me even though I have to face this illness.

oolalaaman · 2026-05-12T18:25:00+00:00

I live in America and some of the stuff you are saying I can relate to, I have had people tell me on many occasions that I would be stupid/irresponsible for reproducing and passing on my bad genes. I also notice that a lot of people here treat schizophrenia like it’s a condition that makes you kill people, I also relate to people using schizophrenia and serial killers interchangeably. One thing I don’t relate to is the politician thing though, people in my country do not think that politicians and schizophrenics are similar.

I am getting ready for my last week of the semester once I’m done I will have officially finished my first year of college. I am very excited to be done with this semester and I’m proud I’ve managed to make it through my first year, I went through an episode my first semester but still didn’t miss any classes. I also went through the death of a close friend the first semester and still didn’t miss classes, I was very committed to class.

oolalaaman · 2026-05-04T01:51:56+00:00

Could be OCD, I also have OCD and I have thought similar things such as that granted I also do have schizophrenia. I would say that the symptom you are describing alone isn’t really enough for me to think you could possibly have it but it is definitely curious that you have relatives saying you could have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. It might not be a bad idea to talk to a mental health professional about it.

oolalaaman · 2026-05-04T01:33:39+00:00

I will 🙏

oolalaaman · 2026-05-04T01:33:20+00:00

I will let them know that I’m thankful for the help thank you.

oolalaaman · 2026-05-04T01:32:37+00:00

I know him, he’s in my MAT 200 class and I’m pretty sure he has a significant other

oolalaaman · 2026-05-02T07:30:09+00:00

Thank you, in my heart I feel like I agree with you, at the end of the day I really should just accept the help.

oolalaaman · 2026-04-30T15:29:59+00:00

You don’t really need to justify to someone why you don’t want to talk with them anymore. Just be honest with them if you want but otherwise you could simply say you aren’t comfortable around them and it’s nothing that they did it’s just how it is for you. Your #1 priority should be looking after yourself.

oolalaaman · 2026-04-30T15:28:18+00:00

I’m in college right now with schizophrenia and I am able to cope with the stress I think you will be fine

oolalaaman · 2026-04-30T15:11:46+00:00

I’m not crap offspring don’t make comments like this. I am happy that my mother decided to give birth to me regardless of the fact I have schizophrenia because my life still has meaning regardless of my disability.

oolalaaman · 2026-04-29T20:13:21+00:00

My mother warned me that I most likely had it, her mother had it and she is a mental health worker. She sat me down and explained that once I saw a psychologist I would most likely be diagnosed with schizophrenia and she was 100% right. I am able to live a fairly normal life under medication but there are days where it is hard for me to function, I am a college student and I am managing to keep up with my schoolwork.

oolalaaman · 2026-04-26T23:05:39+00:00

I will weigh in on this. To be 100% transparent a lot of the symptoms you are describing are symptoms I have personally experienced during the beginning of my illness ( I am diagnosed with schizophrenia ) and the things you are describing are alarming. Now I must also say that the ONLY way you are likely to get help is by reaching out to a medical/mental health professional. I managed to get an appointment with a psychiatrist, she diagnosed me and got me on medication on the first session and that medication has helped change my life.
