I was thinking of doing it to get on the right meds but these seem to be the best meds for me.

Maybe write down a list of pros and cons as to why you'd think it would be helpful or not.

It just takes a while for me to learn. I have low dose mush capsules but I'm gonna wait until my depersonalization/derealization is gone and I've learned more about meditation/spirituality - This may be a year or two.

I'm incredibly honest to everyone in my life about these things. Ketamine nasal spray would be good because it worked in January - March of last year.

Idk how good I was doing last year but it was better than this year. I was having psychosis when I lowered the Invega Sustenna injection to 4 weeks but it's back to every 3 weeks now again.

So far my meds are keeping me stable and I'm very cautious about what I do now (Because of the bad trip making me fear death so much - I hallucinated a skull and crossbones, maggots, scorpions, spiders, etc).

So far so good. Eventually I'll move to the west coast of Canada and can have a nice environment and be able to go to school.

I told my doctor about ketamine and he said that one guy in town gets infusions but he wants to check with my psychiatrist to make sure that it's a good idea. I can't get a hold of my psychiatrist but will try to again this week. Ketamine doesn't harm me because it's just a dissociative but psychedelics do.

I'd like to try ketamin too. My ad doesn't really help that much. If I were let loose back to my apartment I'd stay on everything and just add a prn supply for a benzo. My meds before I was here were a pretty good cocktail. But I was getting worried about taking the Ativan too frequently. I wish I knew where it was, but actually my friend could not get it to me here anymore because covid.

I think I'm gonna do it. My meds are fine but I need better strategies for dealing with doubts and indecision and stuff like that.

I've done partial hospital a few times and that's helped a lot

Desoxyn · Aug 09, 2020 at 10:07 PM

Sometimes I don't even notice my negative symptoms - But when I do, I say I'm depressed. I don't feel any low mood though - Rarely I do.

So just for clarification, it's the negative symptoms.

Good morning. Slept 9 hours 4 minutes, woke up on time and took a shower. Now just enjoying some coffee and relaxing till my ride comes this afternoon for my appointment.

Taking the bus to walmart after I get back from my appointment to get a 100 pack of crayola colored pencils

I need a job but I just realized if I take a job now, I will be overextending myself with things I have to do. Idk what to do.

I suppose I could do freelance work but idk, idk where to find any really.

Yea that’s what I’m saying. Unemployment has been extended and raised another 200 dollars. But idk for how long, which is what I’m worried about.
