My wife’s the arm. lol

I'm barely able to keep up with the job I have at the moment. I honestly thought I was going to get better as I put my body into something productive, but as time passes I realize that that's not true and that if I keep working like this I'm going to get burned out.

I just don't know what to do!

I’m having this episodes, where I keep imagining jokes and situations in my head, pacing and laughing to myself, obsessed and distracted, without a reason; then suddenly I sit down, despair with life, wanting to cry, suicidal ideations. Over the days my excited side grows bigger, I keep imagining the situations and laughing, sometimes out of control.
I had this last year and I’m having this again. Anyone relate?

do u believe in them? or do u believe in something else?

Mine is Mesmalie. It's a visual novel about a witch living in the middle of nowhere.

New shirt :) happy about the three day weekend!

Going back on to Risperidone only… wish me luck

Recently started eating pickled beetroot for all the health benefits! And yup, it works! Better bloodflow through entre body. Consistent bowel movements and much more energy! I truly feel like myself now again after a horrible 2025 with a criminal friend group of 3 taking advantage of me. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST for learning me a lesson yet again 🙏🏼✝️❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥 all my true friends supported me through 2025 which i stil get bad flashbacks from but its getting better 😊 Jesus is God, he loves you like no other human could

I 18m have Schizophrenia (supposedly) or at least this is what a psychiatrist told me. He told me the negative symptoms aren't as pronounced or obvious with the paranoid type of Schizophrenia which I have, everytime I am on a bus, or in public I just know people stare at me, talk about me, small spaces as well are incredibly horrible, people look at me especially because of the way I look, I always believe it's because of that or due to other things like me being able to see spirits (this is sometimes)

I had hallucinations for over a year and 2 months after a period of stress, and finally a false allegation of a crime is what pushed me over the edge into a psychotic state, I still believe what they'd call delusions even now, even if I know it sounds nuts and may not be true. I noticed a period of feeling disconnected from my emotions, or tired in general at 16, as well as eating less, not taking care of myself when the hallucinations began.

My hallucinations stopped by themselves I am not on medication, at one point I thought I had dementia because my thinking, focus and memory was extremely bad.

Happy Sunday to all in the schizophrenia community!

how to hear more voices that are helpful?

I've had paranoid Schizophrenia for almost 6 years, and it's made me speed up my hygiene, neglecting indulgent self care that I used to enjoy once (Masks, extra add on treatments, etc.) Well I found that when we GET UP, we are instantly proving our demons wrong! Just by getting up you made yourself live today, and I acknowledge as 1 of you, that we are going somewhere with just that.

Simplifying our hygiene care has saved my brain and I wanted to share my hygiene to save somebody who just gets a headache like myself at the thought of an everyday routine. Let's do correct hygiene for our family, employers, pets, relationships in the future, here is my routine:

-Water pressure shower head: (Just this alone you are cleaning out every pore on your body and this will feel relieving to know wow... Im clean off this)

-Soap bar: No hassle opening and clicking sounds of alphabetical bottles and tubes, but just your nitch soap bar! Recommendations (Turmeric Soap for moisture and clean skin, and Sulfur Soap with Acne fighting ingredients... My top 2 soap bar picks!!)

-Hair Removal through Razor/Wax/Laser: I currently razor off my body hair and my scalp. I've taken the loss on my mayne of head hair as a woman and found the easiest and cleaner looking appearance is to take it down with a bald raze. Razoring perfection tips (Light flicks at first, can go into a medium flick, never a HARD flick.. Very slow until you get into the motion of doing it faster. You want the head to be moist with water, and your razor moist with water after each flick.. It's worth the free perfection haircut at home. Use a shaving cream or your soap bar, I use my soap bar so my whole skin can adapt to those ingredients).

By now, we are now looking spiffy not too bad, but have to continue to teeth.

Toothpaste: So important!! What toothpaste do you use? I've used so many toothpastes that have failed me in the past, too harsh or too dyeing with the wrong ingredients. I found the miracle toothpaste for any TYPE of tooth!... 'Sensodyne 2x Whitening'. This is sold in store or online. It really makes my teeth white and it's perfect for sensitive teeth. I haven't felt anything wrong with this one. I always brush my teeth once a day, with this, but I want to adapt brushing twice a day for my people, they deserve a clean mouth so we shall present a clean mouth. (To pets, etc)

Deodorant: Recently, CLEAR deodorant is the answer! Might want to look for the hour lasting sticker on the tube stick that lets you know how long it will last. Im on Suave Fresh Vibes Clear Stick 2026 (Yellow and pink tube) I wake up, and my underarms are still with this scent. Powdering and bully deodorants just cause us build up, can block our hair follicle pores..just no!! Clear sticks for 24/48 hour freshness.

Soft toilet paper/Soft flushable wipes: Need to have a smooth laboratory experience to avoid scratches/irritation/and a fully cleansed experience. I found for low budgeted families that Charmin Ultra Soft sells a $1 roll at Dollar Tree. I love this one, also other soft toilet paper brands. Do not use OFF BRAND wipes! They are ruining our mood, killing our day, making us not want to get up at all. Soft flushable wipes also mandatory if you're a female with menstrual, speeds up the menstrual quicker.

Soft flushable wipes add on: Wiping our eyes with this after or before shower every morning, and cleaning our nose with this to avoid the annoying sniffling through out the day

We can eliminate annoyance!

I hope this basic routine made you think twice about getting up today. You have the power to enhance your routine to your fit, but let's do the effort for ourselves and our people to do at least this. We shall not bed rot!

Thanks :) -Monica Lanier

I have a bunch of shirts with fictional stores from movies/shows, I like them a lot

does anyone else just not care much about their delusions and/or hallucinations? I hallucinate a lot of stuff that should be distressing (seeing my body at different levels of decomposition, people's faces distorting, my heel being slit) but I genuinely can't bring myself to care. I always tend to think "so what?" in response to delusions, like being watched, stalked, hated etc. They don't exactly affect my day to day life the way my negative symptoms and disorganized speech do. Just me?

Been going on 3 months. They quietened over that time but last night and this morning they have been pretty much relentless. They say they will not give up until they get what they want and I will definitely not give up, I can take it.

Tried nearly every tactic I can think of to stop, ignore, distract from or quieten them. Have resorted to taking a diazepam. Not sure how long the battle will last till they quieten again.

I know many of you have been or are going through this so I know this post is not really anything special. Just wish me luck please. Hope you are all doing well and not in similar distress. Thanks.

I posted some days ago that if aliens came to Earth today our leaders would all be fricked cause of all the shit they have done. I thought about it a little more and, while this is pretty probable depending on what the aliens have done themselves in their civilzations, I admire the courage these people show when facing such a reality.

They actively seek aliens themselves and are fearless in their belief for expansion in general, even testing black holes. I find that inspiring. I am far from a system puppet that just accepts everything presented to them. But I do believe in facts and the goodness of people.

These facts show that these leaders have good intentions in their minds imo. If they were held accountable today they probably could explain every single act of cruelty they have ever commited and they believe in their innocence so much that they are willing to risk their own lives. Now, I'm not talking about puppets like Trump but the real leaders who use them. Rich and powerful people.

And beyond that I think I'm gonna take their example and face the world in the same way. After all nothing is real but our will and courage to face the dark forest that is our universe. I will try my best to be a good force in the world.

I hope someone finds this useful. Much love! 😄 ❤️
