Hi!!! Sorry if I come off overly excited, it’s because I am, I found out the for people like me with chronic/treatment resistant schizophrenia (I think like 30% of those with schizophrenia have chronic schizophrenia) that 50% of us will experience success with a benzodiazepine added to our therapy, there is research behind this too!! Im on day three of my benzodiazepine therapy and I’ve been symptom free for all three days, which feels amazing I haven’t been symptom free since 2016 (8 years of symptoms and trying every medication under the sun, and having clozapine fail me) I just wanted to tell someone about how happy I am and maybe help someone else out there who was in my situation too ! Ok thanks!

Oh that's incredible! I'm so happy for you!! I know the feeling of being (almost) symptom free after years of symptoms and it is such a huge relief.

I am in the privileged position of having my psychosis be treatable by an atypical antipsychotic. So while I don't understand the struggle of treatment resistant schizophrenia, I am so glad there are options available. Hopefully someone who sees this will learn something that is helpful to them.

The Risperidone really slowed my metabolism. Ever since I was taken off of it, I’ve been losing weight steadily, which is probably why my metabolism is starting to go back to how it used to be. In the beginning of December I was 97.5 kilos, had severe sleep apnea so that I needed a CPAP and just didn’t feel comfortable.

Fast forward to May!

May 10th: 78.5 kilos

May 25th (today): 75.6 kilos

June 13: 74.1 kilos

My sleep apnea is gone!!! I sent my CPAP back! I went from a size 46-48 (14-16) back ton a size 40 (8). I have less knee pain and back pain! And I feel more confident. That doesn’t mean bigger people aren’t beautiful, that’s just what I prefer for myself :) I also was pre-diabetic at 97.5 kilos. This is now a thing of the past :3

Not being able to feel peace even after the rain, even after the wind breeze, even after praying... I need to know if it's really because of the aripiprazole...

[more-or-less-people]

💡 Antipsychotic-induced weight gain remains a significant challenge in psychiatric practice, contributing to metabolic syndrome, decreased quality of life, and reduced medication adherence.

⚡ This issue is especially concerning given the chronic nature of psychiatric illnesses requiring antipsychotic treatment. Among strategies to address this, metformin—an insulin sensitizer primarily used for type 2 diabetes—has garnered considerable interest.

Started vraylar yesterday, really hoping it works without any major side effects

[actual-changeling]

So, I was rewatching the kiss scene frame-by-frame, as one does, and I realized something. First I thought, well, Alex, you probably saw that wrong, let’s keep going. A minute later, however, I was confronted with the reality of no, not mistaken. 

Maybe I am late to the party and everyone has already seen it and knows about it, but in case there are people that haven’t: Aziraphale not only puts his hand on Crowley’s back, he puts his left one on his waist BEFORE that.

Not just that, he slides it up and also uses it as leverage to pull Crowley closer. I could go through those few seconds one frame at a time, but that would take forever, so I will give you the highlights in chronological order.

His hands flutter around at first and don’t settle anywhere, which is actually really useful since it shows us what the angle for that looks like.

Now, the next time his left hand moves up, look at the progression. It does not go down the same way as before. Instead, it moves inward and against Crowley’s waist. And it STAYS THERE right up until he moves both of his hands away.

Look at the angle!!!! Look at how it moves INWARD and towards Crowley instead of straight down like before.

Still moving towards Crowley with a slight downwards drift because he is aiming for his waist.

Now it is too low for us to see but I think it is very obvious where his hand has settled. Maybe I am going insane after only thinking about this show for almost a month straight. Maybe not. Call me crazy but the angle here is DIFFERENT. The second one very much looks like he is holding onto Crowley.

Aziraphale kisses back. Fully kisses back. Somehow, that wasn’t enough for Michael Sheen, no, he had to fully commit to it and *close his eyes* when he reciprocates, too. Look at this!!! The way his eyes flutter shut when Crowley first grabs him, then open, and then CLOSE AGAIN when he starts holding him in return. Kissing back with his eyes closed and his arms wrapped around him. The last picture is right before he moves his hand to his waist/the frame after the camera angle changes.

Anyone else losing it right now? No? Just me? That’s fine, although I most definitely am not. Fine, that is. Michael Sheen I’m sending you my fucking therapy bills.
