does it annoy you when religious people say dumb sh1t like your schizophrenia is actually a demon/curse (and that mental illnesses are proof of the satans existence/spirit) and that if you pray hard enough and trust in God it will go away?

This is like the 3rd medical article I read that said it.

And I know mines was low... So low to the point where my doctor said it was dangerous and prescribed me a pill to take once a week.. It's why I looked it up.

And its cool if it's low but if it's DANGEROUSLY low then there were symptoms.. Schizo and depression being one of the main ones. As well as fatigue, hair loss (alopecia), etc.

All Im saying is OP might want to get some bloodwork done before popping some benzos or some shyt

And wtf is 12?? B12?

Hang in there breh. Every human being on this planet has a thought stream they can't control. It sucks, but that's what being a human is all about.

There's a great book called "The Happiness Trap", even has a picture version.

You're alive today, which means you were meant to be here. Have you tried picking up skills outside of work to help get you an easier job? Maybe get into programming?

I struggle with OCD, major anxiety and had a lot of things that put me into depression a few times, but I persevered into a job as a software engineer

I’ve read a lot on vitamin d trust me, low vitamin d does not cause schizophrenia- supposedly it can cause depression but I doubt it. 12 as in my vitamin d level was 12, I took vitamin d3 5,000 international units daily sublingual.. if u didn’t take vitamin d3 u lost, sounds like u took vitamin d2.. I was going through some shyt and was looking for answers and my only thing I found was low vitamin d, so therefore I read a shyt load on it, it’s become like the new it thing and honestly those studies are full of it.. that’s it’s not even a vitamin anymore that it’s more like a hormone.

At the end of the day the breh in the op is going through some real shyt and it’s not low vitamin d.

And again I’m sure u can find every vitamin or mineral and link it to schizophrenia and they will be a study that claims if your low u can get schizophrenia symptoms or whatever.

Again I went through some shyt and I googled for DAYS years looking for answers and I came across a lot.

Dont always look for answers from the western point of view

Give up gluten...

This is actually something that I should have mentioned as well. I remember the last time I ate some pizza that shyt had me feeling mad paranoid and irritated. Might not effect other people as much but im eay better of without it

Diet and Depression

 

[NegaDuck]

Stay away from drugs. Please.

I've had a few doctors and therapists tell me I am manic depressive and bipolar, and they want me to take medicine for it. I refuse.

Physical activity...maintain some connection with friends, family, and a lover if you have one...don't isolate yourself and get high.. you'll drift off into some crazy thoughts. When you're well, maintain a grasp on what's real and normal. Hold on to that when you're slipping away, and use whatever coping strategies you've developed.

I legit can't function at work some days because my mind is a wasteland...and it's crazy because I have a job where I need to think critically...so do what you need to maintain that isn't drug related.

It's always a struggle...I realize it's similar to addiction...it never goes away, you just learn to cope better.

Watch the movie, A Beautiful Mind if you don't know what I'm talking about.

This is me. I haven't gotten diagnosed with anything, but I I'm pretty sure I have manic and depression periods.

Exercise and diet I feel really help and mainly, when I'm "normal" I relfect on the manic and depression times so that when they occur, I make myself aware and try to check myself as much as possible.

It works ok enough...but I gotta get back to daily meditation which worked phenomenally.

I just have especially much on my life plate it's hard to make time for it, but it's something I'm mkaong a mandatory thing to do.
