Hi man, Yeah I feel like people are taking to my thoughts aswell, Ive had this since I was 19 and im 38 now so its al was been there. I hate voices. Its not good at all

[@lettersfromschizophrenia]

Sucks dealing with it, but it helps also to see how I am much fortunate in many other ways compared to most of the world. Everyone has challenges, ours are a bit different.

thanks for your content, did you ever do peer support? I saw you talking about it in a different video and was thinking of trying

[@lettersfromschizophrenia]

Thank you for the comment! I personally have not worked as a peer support specialist. I was fortunate enough to secure a job in my field, but it took me 6 months of applying to get it. I did not know at the time about the opportunity to work as a peer support specialist. I have been in outpatient and in patient care where we talk to people that have gone through mental illness and made progress towards being functional in society. The hospital I was at actually held sessions where people that were once patients came to talk to us for like 30 minute sessions in a group. It gave me hope. I suggest you try it! there is nothing to lose and everything to gain!

[@yampana1245]

[@SchizophrenicFilms]

Thanks for sharing. What do you do for a living anyway? Are you a programmer?

[@lettersfromschizophrenia]

I work as a BI Dev

[@jeanpaultongeren125]

Im having hard times to stay motivated 3 times in a week to go to work its cause of the anti psycotics im sure. Should I switch or should they lower dose?

[@lettersfromschizophrenia]

When I stopped my antidepressants to see if that would cause a change, I was experience lack of motivation etc. For me the antipsychotic was coupled with the antidepressant and I continue to take them together even after 4 years.
