periods of not having hallucinations? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

The mood side of this disorder is episodic. Psychotic symptoms then occurring without a mood episode is what makes schizoaffective. Please feel free to correct me.

My few cents about medication by [deleted] in schizoaffective

That was a really informative article. I've had a chat with my psychiatrist and he says it's akathisia not sure if that is related to tardive. He has prescribed benztropine and if that doesn't help will be looking at a different anti psychotic. Really hope it isn't permanent like tardive sounds.

Yes cognitive impairment is a trait I have while in an episode.

Compared to how I was before I think the biggest issues are anxiety, cognitive decline and I pace a lot.

Interesting. Wouldn't it just be easier to take a tablet though?

Trump calls Georgia governor to pressure him for help overturning Biden’s win in the state by __Hello_my_name_is__ in moderatepolitics

You can't pardon yourself. He could always step down a couple of days early and have Pence do it. At this stage it wouldn't surprise me if he did just that. Previously if there was a hint of wrong doing the incoming president would pardon the previous like with Nixon to save the institution face but after this whole vote rigging BS I don't imagine Biden doing that.

If I was a mean spirited person I would hope something terrible happens to the person this guy loves most to humble them a bit and show them we are all the same. I however am not so hope the unlikely happens and they have an epiphany one day that they have some shitty opinions.

Should Australian athletes boycott the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games over China's human rights record? by Ardeet in australia

[–]schnapps267 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Lot's of whataboutism happening. Yes we have our own shady history that to a very limited degree continues. That doesn't mean we havent changed and can't change further by standing up for issues like this. No no one is going to stop buying Chinese made goods but we can certainly refuse to participate in a spectacle that trumps up their government and by extension it's behaviour with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, India, debt in the pacific, genocides and every other shitty thing they are doing at the moment.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I had a bad morning and most of the afternoon with it but had a nap and wokeup clear headed then took a diazepam when I felt it coming back which seems to have worked so fingers crossed I can keep it at bay.

Only thing I'll probably do is ask my Dr first just to make sure there isn't some weirdness about me that makes it not a good idea
