Whilst on meds I already had some voices, but not big episode like before taking meds when I was hearing voices all day and being on edge, and I ‘m still not sure if it was a delusion or not but apart when I remember a memory I don’t believe people are bullying me

Even though sometimes I feel like I’m hated by everyone and that people talk about me

Sounds like innate schizophrenia. Self care is the biggest help. Lots of exercise and nutrient dense food. Do things that make you happy.

Thank you for the advices

It’s difficult to self care tho

I struggle to shower, brush my teeth

So I don’t succeed to be regular for exercise and meditation

Do you have avolition? Perhaps you need a dopamine agonist too for motivation?

What meds are you on currently?

I don’t know if I have avolition

I’m on Risperidone

No. The only time I relapsed is when they took me off them and trialed me on antidepressants.

A few years back, I was on a combination which was bad for me.

I was on aripiprazole, which was stimulating for me, plus a high dose of venlafaxine and a high dose of mirtazapine.

Taken together, I would end up barely sleeping for two weeks, then crash into a deep depression and sleep for several days.

This went on for a while.

What exactly is a relapse?

Symptoms?

Symptoms always come back.

When I had my psychosis I totally lost control of myself. It was like being stuck in a dream that turned into a nightmare.

I’d say relapse is an accumulation of symptoms and a full blown psychotic episode/ detachment from reality.
