Had a lot of ups and downs within the past year. I believe I was going through psychosis because I was displaying alot of concerning behavior and believing delusions that were outlandish. My doctor (no longer, she quit) had diagnosed me with schizophrenia and it never sat right with me but I went along and got the treatment. I was on Haldol injections for a year and eventually got tired of it. I was hesitant to stop the injections because i was alot calmer and I could think properly and didn't window peek constantly anymore thinking people were trying to break in. I remember being so convinced that people could read my thoughts, these people were probably robots and that the government was trying to kill me. I finally stopped the injections because I had enough of the side effects. Fast forward like 6ish months, I'm still mostly medication free and feel great honestly. I take mirtazapine for sleep if I'm not sleeping well or gabapentin if my anxiety that day is high. This is why I don't believe I'm Schizophrenic...I'm off of AP's and haven't been delusional, seeing things, hearing voices or paranoid for a while now. I've even tripped on LSD multiple times since. My conclusion? Alcohol induced psychosis. I'm gonna have a talk with my newer doctor and see if I can get rid of that diagnosis. Within those 6 months or so though, my mom passed away in April 2024. It hurt pretty bad and I watched her wither away from her constant drinking. So idk I just feel like life is weird right now but I'm thankfully not binge drinking to feel better. Fuck, I was so excited in a way and terrified at the same time when I got a text saying my mom wasn't doing well and that they (husband, friends and sister) were gonna have her call me and speak to me before she goes. I never got that call though.
