My mom and I went shopping the other day. When we were eating lunch she mentioned that I "look" like I used to look back when I was on Risperdal injections a few years ago, and that I am always shaking my legs like I did back then. I said I am not aware (because I am really not) of making any specific looks with my face these days, and the leg shaking is just a normal side effect (albeit nobody else ever thinks it looks normal). I take Inderal for the shakiness but with the Risperdal, it still happens.
Meanwhile, I am hearing voices intermittently and it doesn't seem to be getting any better on the Risperdal than it was without the Risperdal. Sometimes this frankly pisses me off, because I am sick of this situation and sick of having to constantly argue with myself if whether double speak or voices I hear are real or not real, and sick of the fact that medications do not seem to fix this problem for me as they are supposed to.
In other news, a kind friend gave me an old computer and once I get my brother - the computer wiz - to reinstall Windows on it, I should be able to get online and write more frequently again than I have lately (as my computer was broken).
Welcome. I live with Schizoaffective Disorder, formerly diagnosed as Schizophrenia. This blog, created in 2005, is about what goes on inside my mind. It is about coping, living, and advocacy. You will find information on what psychosis, delusional thoughts, and suicidality are like, by a person who has had those experiences. Most of all, you will find a story of hope. If you have a mental illness, know you are not alone.
