It's been hard to really come up with much to write about at the moment, since I've been pretty depressed and unmotivated.
I think I'm getting over it now, as I have been prescribed Lithium. I've started with 300mg, and it has had me feel a lot better. I was supposed to double it after 3 days, but could not tolerate such a dose. From what I've read online even 150mg can even be enough. Depression is something that I have a hard time with - which, you think it would be schizophrenia, but no, however it is sort of a byproduct of mental illness/schizophrenia. Depression is also something I find hard to talk about, and so it seems it can be in this day and age. Though, I think there's more and more awareness about mental health happening! The way I feel depressed these days is less to do with situation or anything (because I have a lot to be thankful for, and great family and friends who mean the world to me), it's mostly just my genetics. I don't like to think in the terms of it being bad luck, but more as a gift that is not so obvious at first. What I mean by gift is... with schizophrenia I have so far, and recovered so much that I now possess the experiences that may help others going through something similar. I've moved passed a lot! Everything a human being goes through can eventually help another person or persons. So, I see this is another one of those hiccups along the way. It may not seem like a gift now, but it will, and I will and can only get better. Well, this post was short, but maybe this will remind you that you're not a alone. It sure can feel like it at times, but it is not true. If I could say anything for those suffering from depression, know that the way the world looks, whether it be present, past or future.. it is not really that way. It's just the brain/mind playing tricks, and all is well. Again, if you've read the introduction to this blog, you will know that I am not a doctor, and I only post my thoughts and experiences. Thanks for reading, Jonathon
