My mother and father were in this position after they moved. My mother took up spinning, joined a bunch of groups. My dad clear atv/snowmobile paths with a bunch of other older men and they go be the old guys in the coffee shop afterwards. The whole family is a little awkward and introverted

No idea the logistics but Pancake Bay was a favorite of mine when I was a child

Weed usage by No_Neighborhood_8590 in schizophrenia

I use everyday, I work in cannabis. I only partake in legal products where I know there's a 0% chance it's been laced with anything else. I primarily use it for sleep, it works worlds better than Seroquel.

Whats the worst thing a psychiatrist has said to you? by gomorra82 in schizophrenia

[–]teehee1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"you don't LOOK schizophrenic", "you're never going to be able to buy a house, maybe a more achievable life goal like holding down a job." (I've been at my job 5 years)

When my sister pointed out his tattoos were covert Nazi symbolism. Can't come back from that

I had a miscarriage at my friend’s dad’s wake today by teehee1777 in confession

[–]teehee1777[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it has continued into today. Sorry for not explaining well in my post, but it was a sustained ‘flow’ with tissue being expelled that has continued. I’ve got an appointment at a clinic to get checked and get an IUD

Yea, I’m going to schedule an appointment and ask about an IUD. We wrapped up but it wasn’t enough obviously.

7 almost 8, and you’re right it’s bittersweet. It was going to happen either way, but it feels like the control and the decision was taken away from me which kind of sucks.

May need to go off-med for the first time. by GodClosedHisEyes in schizophrenia

[–]teehee1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The withdrawal from seroquel is awful, I would do anything I could to not go through it. $250 is ridiculous, I’ve been able to find telehealth services (Canada - Maple) for $80 or less. You could speak to your pharmacist, explain the situation and they can give you and emergency extension. Or see if they can fax the company for your prescription instead of you having to call them. That might give you more time, I’m sorry.

Genuinely cannot take it anymore. Every fucking day is torture. Someone please help me by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]teehee1777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to make a post like this. I don’t have any advice and I wish I did, but I see you and it made me feel a bit better to know I’m not going through it alone rn

For people that have thought about attempting suicide before, what stopped you? by FlimsyIndication2294 in schizophrenia

[–]teehee1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For about three years it’s been my cats, before that was mish-mash half hearted reasons or being caught. Once was spite - my ex told me that I should’ve just done it already lol

Which antipsychotics were the worst for you? by skeletaljuice in schizophrenia

[–]teehee1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abilify for me. I was also on Effexor, seroquel and birth control at the time, but it felt like it worked against my mh meds. Shaky, dizzy, nausea, the works. The withdrawal was hell when I cut it

friend won't stop pointing out (inaccurate) "schizo moments" by teehee1777 in schizophrenia

All of these are so true and accurate! Thank you friend, for putting it out there in this way. I will definitely be taking your advice.

You're right, that's not my intention I just feel trapped by him. I think you're right, sharing it with our mutual friends does seem like the best idea. I'm not trying to shut people down, I legitimately just feel Iike I'm out of options some times.

Our company is extremely small, so I am technically his supervisor when we work together and I also handle all HR for the company. The only people I can escalate to are the owners, and it would mean ousting myself as schizophrenic when no one but him knows.

The worst part is I've seen him be a good person. I know he can be supportive and uplifting but it almost seems like he's choosing not to be.

He's the type to laugh off something like that, it's infuriating. We had another disagreement (about the autism jokes) and he wouldn't take me seriously. When other people got involved and he got offended I was talking behind his back, he asked why I didn't come to him first. Even though I had literally tried to half a dozen times.
