Can we all just appreciate how cute he is 😍
Man, I envy your willingness to go to the hospital when you need it. I was voluntarily admitted *once*, and I've sworn to myself that I'll never allow it again. Even jail isn't as bad as being in a ward. I've made a personal promise to myself that, no matter how hard I have to try to fake my way through, I'll never allow myself to be held captive in a place like that again. I don't want to put anyone in danger, but my personal advice is to avoid the ward at all costs...
Yes, the psych ward is a gawdawful experience generally, and anything I can do outside of being admitted (voluntarily or against my will) I will do. But, if I have completely departed from reality and need to be kept safe, I have to trust that the people around me won't do me dirty and just suggest locking me up for any other reason than that I need to be someone where I won't hurt myself. And yes, comparing jail to the psych ward (since I've done both) there are in fact some freedoms you have in jail that you don't in the hospital. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!! - Steve
I'm also on Lutuda. I love your personality. I had to subscribe.
Why thank you! Yeah I talk a bit about mental health, meds, etc... It's not the center of my life but a decent part of it. If the mental health goes, everything else goes with it. Thanks for watching and subbing! :):):)
Are you still on latuda? What are you on it for?
Hows the latuda?
I hope your new med is helping you. I haven't been feeling so well lately. My diabetes is out of control. This time of year is hard to be good with all the treats and holiday foods. Maybe you could give some suggestions about surviving the holidays without gaining a lot of weight. I know I've gained weight, my clothes aren't fitting me like they use to and that's bumming me out. Well, sorry for unloading on you. I hope you have a great week. ☺
lol No worries about unloading. I'll think about putting together a vid about holidays and weight loss. Sorry to hear you are having a hard time :( Take care of yourself! :):):) - Steve
Because of latuda?
I had no idea you're bipolar. I'm bipolar 1 and understand what you're going through. You are so precious & such a good person & you have someone who cares about you so you're going to be able to handle the ups & downs of the illness.
Thanks for the support Maureen! I posted a few videos throughout the channel about my experiences with bipolar if you'd like to check them out. Always glad to meet someone else who understands :)
@@SmokeySteveAndMarc Im here if you need support. I'm hesitant to say too much because I'm private about my illness because someone attacked me when I talked about it. That I don't need.
I just came across this video. I just took my first 20mg dose of Latuda last night. I felt very anxious and restless, couldn't sleep. How are you doing now. I will see if you have any update videos.
I didn't report on the Latuda, but I did post a couple more med videos I think. When I started the Latuda I was coming off Seroquel and actually the Seroquel withdrawal made the transition harder I think. I was on the Latuda starting at 30 or 40mg and it's DEF not sedating! After a month or so I was able to sleep regularly. My shrink recommended melatonin, Benadryl or whatnot and I still use them off and on. I was Very anxious and restless and sleepless when I tried Saphris. Almost ended up back in the hospital with mania teetering into psychosis. Everyone is different. Talk to your Dr (I am not a doctor ;-) ) but that was my experience. I hope that helps! - Steve
Hows the latuda?
Amy hows the latuda?
Are you still on latuda? If so hows the cognitive issue? Did it ease up?
I usually have really bad akithisia with APs but this one made me calm and sleepy. I’m also on klonopin so maybe that helps. I got started on 60 so we will see for schizophrenia. Whiter lol
Isn't akathisia the worst? I thought I was having like an around the clock panic attack! I hope it helps you out. And if it does, I hope you get to something that does :) I know I've def felt like a lab rat over the years.
SmokeySteveAndMarc I’ve tried pretty much every single atypical antipsychotic there is and so far none have worked so I’m hoping this will. Yes the anxiety on top of anxiety isn’t the best. Abilify is my demon drug. If I ever go to the hospital and give me that I will stay way too long.
OMG, Abilify. I was in the hospital twice in 3 weeks. Looked like progress. Was actually a drug induced manic episode. Who knew! :)
Omg we’re so similar!
I know right? Looking forward to keeping up with your vlog. Just don't quit after 3 months like some of us :) - Steve
I finally went to the "Red Light District" of Amsterdam.... but had no luck finding a woman to marry me so I am going to Ukraine next. Have you found a wife yet? If so, where did you find her? I heard Moscow Russia is a good place to.
