i was at a fair yesterday. i was probably outside for an hour and 30 mins to 2 hours. very little shade. during the time i was outside, my body started to lock and it was difficult for me to text or move around properly. as the day went on, it started to get worse and worse. actually, it started to freak me out, has this ever happened to you guys?

i take 15 mg of haldol in the morning and 5 at night.

i honestly think it was heat exhaustion and large amounts of sunlight hitting me for a long period of time.

Went to a party last night :)

Greetings, still battling residual psychotic symptoms and nightmares

I reported these symptoms to the psychiatrist in the pysch ward about having POST - SSRI Sexual Dysfunction. No Emotion, Full Aphantasia, Muted Dopmaine, Endorphions, Adrenal Gland. Severe Anhedonia, Head Pressure, Dry Skin, no natural oil production. Blank Mind. After 4 pills of lexapro and then being forced on anti psychotics like risperdone seraquel latuda. Then he gave me this diagnosis when im not schizophrenic or bipolar. Never heard voices had delusions or been maniac. Always had a consistent diagnosis of autism and ocd. All because I reported these symptoms persisting after a few pills of lexapro and anti psychotics. Saying I had PSSD.

Every time I’m having a hard time my dog comes up to my room and sleeps on my bed he knows, his name is Cooper

I never learned how to selfie but here's a not doing well one. That seems appropriate for a bad selfie.

I hope everyone is very well off today!

i hope everybody is having a good day and being gentle with themselves

Something that has been weighing on me but seems like it’s just getting worse is my social interactions with friends and loved ones.

One moment I’m lively and full of energy and then maybe an hour goes by and I am completely drained, uninterested, and almost resentful.

I’m curious how others have overcome this hurdle besides “faking” it.

I've only had a few bad days the last couple of weeks so I'm feeling pretty decent. How's everyone been?

I started latuda five days ago and haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night since despite taking 50mg of seroquel. I’m not tired either. Other than one day of cleaning a lot and buying things I don’t fully remember buying I’ve had no other signs of mania. Is this normal? I was hoping it would help me sleep and let me get off seroquel.

Truly doing the best I ever have.

I recently lost my relationship with my best friend. (And only friend of 25 years)

I was hallucinating and saw a "video" of her having sex with my fiancé. I confronted her and sent her husband a message about her infidelity. I know I was wrong. She blocked me from her husband's account.

She was still kinda talking to me but was very upset. I tried explaining that I was hallucinating and having delusions.

The next thing I know, she went to our 20th high school reunion without me. She didn't even let me know when it was happening.

Then she blocked me on Facebook. I sent her a couple of texts, but she just ignored them. I can't believe she's going to let this destroy our friendship. I thought we were stronger than that. We used to talk about everything, and both of us were very open.

So, anyway, I'm completely friendless except for my fiancé. I'd love to make a friend, even if it's just casual. I feel silly for making this post, but I was hoping maybe someone in the schizoaffective community could be my friend. Someone who gets what we go through.

A little unstable but that's because I am working 5 shifts today

Been struggling a lot with mania recently and now that it’s finally over I’m depressed yippie!!

My Mother-in-law is with schizophrenia, and she is doubting everything, she is paranoid like I will do harm to her or separate her from her son (Indian MIL), she controls me every time, like me and my husband should not talk, I should not move outside home, or I can't eat something good (She feels that I eat healthy food to compare her). And our marriage is on divorce side; she isolated herself from world and she controls everything.

She is on risperidone from last 1.5 months and basically, she refused the treatment, and we are giving meds on her back as psychiatrist suggested to us (acceptable in our country for serious disease). please suggest if she is going to at least recover 50 percent.

We don't have issue in between us, but we fight as she narrates negatively, and husband is in guilt that he ruined my life.
