| Ugh. My social life sucks. I'm tired of being at home where I just isolate cause my family isn't very understanding. I effing hate that some of the only interactions are about meds and what I need to do. I don't like that I'm just ignored when I talk because I just repeat things anyways. I wish I di... |

| I realized I've been taking advice from someone in my dreams and using it in real life. Also I think about them a lot. Whenever I mention it people get really worried. I sometimes think they're a guardian angel. It's getting problematic because I start to think they live inside me somehow. I sometim... |

| I like talking. However people think I talk about weird things. I change topics too fast. I didn't think I did. I honestly think it's related stuff. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong. I don't like that I'm not great at conversations. It makes it really difficult to keep friends. People are ni... |

| I am sorry to hear of your struggles, Crystal. Smoking pot can induce paranoia, especially for individuals on the schizophrenia spectrum. Is there any reason why you need to smoke pot? Thanks. Yea. I honestly don't know why. I used to think it helped with bad feelings. A lot of people I know smoke ... |

| My psychiatrist dropped me as a patient. I don't fully understand why. I'm broke. Navigating the bank is hard. I'm really addicted to nicotine. I smoke too much pot. I can't seem to take my meds consistently. I'm on a lot. I'm struggling at home. My family doesn't know how to deal with me. I have re... |

| Have you been diagnosed with Schizophrenia or anything like that? Incoherent speech & paranoia can be features of Schizophrenia. In any case, you should take medication to keep that at bay, if you do have that, as it is quite serious and can impact social interaction in various ways, some of wh... |

| Sometimes I can't communicate what I mean to say so I don't. It's a feeling of just not knowing how to even say what I'm thinking. Sometimes I don't respond appropriately to people. I mumble a lot and people think I'm being disrespectful. It's difficult for me to talk clearly sometimes. I laugh when... |

| I love watching Austin City Limits. It combines multiple special interests for me, music appreciation as well as Retro TV. Willie Nelson's performances are Iconic. He was the first artist on there I believe. Neil Young is great on there as well. I also really liked Todd Snider's. John Prine and Guy ... |

| I don't work but everyone else does that I know. I just spend most of my time at home. I make people feel uncomfortable as well. My sister and her friends don't want me around when they are in the living room or on the porch. Those are two of the places I like to be. They don't like my energy. I fee... |

I tried to start my own religion again. I started thinking I was famous and that I needed to go to Alaska. I stopped ... |

| It's extremely frustrating. I have to take meds twice a day. I've even been asked if an injection would work better. I don't need an Injection. I take them now so I can avoid that. I know if I ever move out, I'm quitting them. People think that's an awful idea and that I'm gonna have a breakdown if ... |

The last time it got upped. I'm on Abilify and Buspirone. My family notices a difference when I'm on them but I'm not ... |
