My mental health has been so up and down lately brehs.

I’ve been staying with my girl for a few weeks now, prolly gonna stay at my house for a few days since I’m working the day shift. At first I was mentally drained from dealing with a friend who took advantage of me, and my friend group who excommunicated me (even in the midst of da rona) due to having the cops put him out of my house. Now this covid has me seriously worried since I work at a hospital. Sometimes I get so anxious I just want to commit that, and it’s getting worse and worse each day.
It’s no use of stressing yourself out. You just have to push through that shyt

What you mean you can’t workout, because the gyms are closed doesn’t mean you can’t workout

I hate how people are so dismissive of those with mental illnesses when those same people probably have something diagnosed or undiagnosed themselves

So many don't even really know anything about the subject to even speak on it, let alone be condescending towards those who have or appear to go through it

Having mental illness doesn't make someone inferior to anyone else in the world. We all have our own issues at the end of the day. Call them weird or crazy or whatever else but judging them doesn't make your life any better than theirs

Mental health is being talked about more openly nowadays which is a good thing but there are still so many of those who trivialize it and act superior to those who have it. I just can't stand their ignorance because they would likely give up on life if the shoe was on the other foot

To be honest most don’t care because they have their own shyt they’re dealing with, I know it sucks

Latuda is the biggest problem in my life right now.


Latuda works GREAT for the voices in my head.. HOWEVER... the side effects are BRUTAL.


I take the drug with my dinner at night as instructed. But the side effects are really harsh, makes me feel weird, headaches, etc. After I take the meds my head feels physically unpleasant, to the point where I want to die and it's getting to a point where I DREAD taking the medication.


Makes me fall sleep early which I wouldn't mind if it did it in a seducing kinda way but the drug doesn't do that. When I up after I feel fine, it's just the immediate hour, hour and a half after I take the drug that's giving me problems.



I just don't know what to do brehs, I've taken quite a few different meds for the voices but none of them worked except for the Latuda... The side effects are just too strong and my phycologist was happy that the Latuda was working too :(

My birthday past two days ago. None of my former friends hit me up. Well actually, my roommate hit me up to tell me my mom was looking for me (I’m currently not speaking to her). This shyt is so strange to me

The sleepy part gets me too. I used to be able to stay up till 12am. Now, that I'm on it the medicine makes me sleepy by 10pm. Sometimes it sucks because I like staying up late. Another thing, my memory since being on this medicine isn't as sharp as it use to be :mjcry: I'm trying to do better though. Remember, we are all in this together.

Sometimes it makes me fall sleep as early as 8:30PM :scust: I'm still in my 20s I can't be going to sleep so early at this age! :damn:
