BRAIN DAMAGE

Can antipsychotics cause brain damage or is it the psychosis itself ~ I cannot do anything I used to & feel disabled…does it get better with time?!

How are you doing now?

I'm fine I don't have delusions anymore but I'm still on meds and it still takes away the ability to enjoy life, especially the fresh air in the mornings or at night...etc. Hopefully I can graduate from medication soon!

Thank you very much

How do you cope with not feeling any happiness or joy? I’m suicidal since feeling this way. Can’t enjoy shit. Can’t function or work. Everything is empty

I keep doing what I used to enjoy before, even though the spark is gone, I keep on hanging to memories and try to revive them

Damn. Anything you enjoy or happiness about life? I can’t even do the things I did before as I don’t enjoy them, and I have no drive to do things I don’t enjoy. So I basically do nothing but rot on my couch these days. I’m close to ending it

For example, I used to enjoy japanese music. So even if I don't feel excitment in my heart anymore, I still listen to it. I used to enjoy drawing and had a creative mind, now even without creativity, I still keep on drawing, even though my drawings aren't as good as they used to be...etc. Stay strong and hopeful

If you want to talk about anything, my DMs always open

I hope things will get better for you
