Essential The Mental Health Thread

What time do you take your Latuda? Because I take mine at 10PM.

Usually around 6:30 or 7PM (That's when I eat my dinner).


When I get this month's supply of Latuda I'm gonna start taking it during Lunch and see how it effects my sleep cycle. I could take it right before bed with a snack but the problem is the snack gotta 350 calories or more for the drug to be absorbed properly. Trying to avoid gaining weight by eating too close to my bed time.

Word. That's where I messed up because I started to snack more and more. All of a sudden, I started gaining weight, but I'm going to lose it in the summer. I feel for you man and I hope that you make it on your journey to recovery. In August, it'll be a year since mines.

I have been sad, mostly because my mom fractured her leg and is in rehab.
Like every week has been stressful because shyt comes up with her insurance, her tested for covid.
It makes me sad sometimes because everybody just cares about themselves now, and can't even be concerned about me.

It makes me realize to that family is all I have.

Tomorrow I have a therapy session over the phone In person I find therapy to be difficult at times cause I feel like a lost cause along with the fact that I'm socially awkward and find it hard to find something to talk about... I hate having conversations over the phone so I'm really dreading the fact that I gotta have a whole therapy session over the phone, plus I have thin walls at my place so I won't have same privacy that I have at an in person therapy session.


Therapy is challenging enough as it is, having a session over the phone makes things much harder


I'm been in quarantine since the last session and nothing really eventful happened. The latuda problems are more of issue to speak with my psychologist rather than my therapist.


And yes I know over the phone sessions are because of COVID-19.

lost my mom an a brother back in 94 ever since then i just deal with shyt on my own i know that's not something you should do but that's just who i am at this point

i get over things for the most part but i never forget its always with me

Well, I feel like I'm losing my vision. It's hard to describe, but whenever I try to read the words on a page they begin to shift away from the page like being turned on an angle.

I had a thread on here the other day about pretty much losing it while working and not knowing how much longer I'll last doing it. Trying to push through it, like I can maintain this course will push me to insanity. Just thinking about work today had me dizzy and my heart racing to escape my chest.

I'm going to have to pick up the pieces to rebuild once more and I'm afraid this time, unlike the last time. Gonna need to give my therapist a call tomorrow.

Therapy is not for everyone, but you need a support system.
You even came to this thread to vent.
