Brethren. Im still in a low mood. Its been almost a week Its a follow on from my previous post where Im manifesting on my life and the past pre & post schiz to this current day Feel like Im a burden to my wife She is being a huge support
Im able to function. I can clean the house, go shopping… last night I went to the theatre even! But Im having moments of tearfulness and despair.
What is going on? Co-morbid depression with the schiz?
Depends on if you had a stressful issue going on recently. It takes a long time for the mind to fully recover from the situation.
I’m going thru the same as you. I try to put my mind on things that matter. Maybe take a walk or take deep breaths. It’s overwhelming sometimes. Tell you partner maybe they can help. Hugs rox
@Banjo,maybe try to talk to your psychiatrist about antidepressants and mood stabilizers..
You are only on one med for treatment resistant sz.
Try some self care… relaxing, herbal teas, meditation, good nutrition and self kindness
I think this is the answer.
I ponder on the past and it makes me really despair. Its always when Im feeling well and have little psychosis.
I shed some tears just now cos i smiled at a little kid and the lady mom gave me a weirded out look.
Our lives are hard it is not surprising that we shed tears.
I hope u dont feel so burdensome it sounds like u help and she loves you and cares.
Take care of yourself @Banjo
I’m in the same situation as you
I’ve been feeling very low now that my father has passed.
It’s especially hard living on your own
Memory Eternal @Wave prayers with you and your father and your whole family 
Its a dreadful feeling. I think @anon68822644 is right. I need to seek professional help for this.
Please do.. You have lot of qualities..
If I knew that I’m sick before ending forced to hospitalization,it would be different ..
Thee is not a burden to thy wife. She cares for thee
I spoke to emergency line. A lot has been put to rest. A note has been left with my consultant, so hopefully he or someone on the team contacts me soon.
It seems the recent increase in my regular meds is working. Little to no psychosis. And Im experiencing, if its truly not just intense negative symptoms, something called “post-psychosis depression” - which can appear when schiz symptoms are calmed down and I can finally think straight. Apparently this is highly common, particularly in reflection on negative life events. Events from many years ago, long forgotten/forgiven.
The good news, is it can be helped and treated quickly/easily. They were satisfied, that while I have good home support, that I am not an immediate suicide risk, and should wait on my team’s intervention.
