Btw. Just gonna say. Your welcome to ban me @SzSupportAdmin
I’m just curious why you were on the site if the whole time you were just pretending? What’s the purpose in it?
@FreeLunch I joined in 2013. Can’t remember why I searched it and I came to like the community.

I’m not going to ban you. We dont ban people for coming off medication. We only suspend people when they are encouraging others too.
As far as not being sick. I dont think I’m ready to accept that you’ve been faking schizophrenia for at least 16 years and been on a depot for 7 years when you don’t have a psychotic disorder.
In your opening post you said you “feel like you are faking it”. Then later on you say you are faking it.
Feeling like your faking it is fairly common among sz.
Anyway, there is enough doubt in my mind about this whole thing that I dont think we need to ban you.
YOu might need us as some point.
Until this situation is resolved I’m definitely not comfortable removing you.
Plus your a pretty darn longtime member of the old community and I see no need to be in a rush to ban you.

Please stay @qwerty. We love having you here. Do you have someone you trust to talk to about? Second opinions are nice. Go for a quiet walk and think about what you need. Mull it over.

I called my nurse and told her. I might ring out of hours cos CMHT is closed now. And my head is all over the place for some reason.

Yeah a quiet walk to think clearly might help. Try to calm your head because then you can clearly articulate your needs without getting upset. Calmness is key.

I get this idea with my manic bipolar symptoms
Every time I quit my meds (which I haven’t done often) I go into hellish symptoms like paranoia delusions and voices
As far as quitting your depot the best thing I can say is if it ain’t broken dont fix it

@Qwerty you have been really stressed out and annoyed the last week. It stems from that phone call where the nurse was a total pratt to you, mentioning your kids and condescending you. Thats highly stressful when you suffer what we suffer. Then wanting to distance yourself from those arseholes, and not being able to - is also highly stressful because it conflicts with your autonomy and self-determination.
In my view, you are experiencing breakthrough symptoms. There is no way after X amount of years of psych intervention that you are faking it. They’d know. They detect them PD types all the time. You are so clearly not one of them folks.

I hope not @Banjo
I called out of hours and I’m expecting a call back from a listening coach at 8:30pm.

Thats great. I hope it helps.
Just remember; you are stressed, and stress, changes of routine .etc brings out symptoms when we least expect them. Please hang in there. And dont leave us!

If you’re feeling good and you don’t have any symptoms it’s probably because of the depot. Once you stop, your symptoms will probably come back.

I hate to throw around the word delusional but it seems you aren’t thinking right, It’s the pattern I see on here often, someone trying to make sense but not really making sense. Can’t you hear how you sound?

I am just worried I’ve been faking and fb my are all fake too.
At least I’m questioning it I suppose.
