Hi I have not posted in quite sometime. The reason had to do with the progress I've been making through psychiatry, therapy, and medication. However, I have since then decreased some of my medicine and am facing challenges again with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). One of the underlying problems...

This may sound stupid to some of you, but my anxieties and temper can be set off just by someone talking to me. The aftermath of Interactions with people leave me feeling like shit, anxious, and irritable. I avoid social interactions like the plague because of the anxiety that comes after...

I have a back story with why I was put on medication in the first place, but won't go into too much detail as it would take forever to write. I will say that I was 90% functional with some symptoms (cognitive delay being one of them) before taking a drug that made me feel a hundred times worse...

For me I function differently at different times of the day. Today for instance I was chatty all day, found interactions to be easy (again, I am taking medication which has enhanced my social skills) and I just felt pretty positive and good all day. But around 8:00pm I started experiencing not...

So tonight I was at a friends and I'm not sure if it was just my imagination running wild for a minute or what but a few times I heard an audible voice say "Shawn...Shawn." It was a quiet voice kind of like a whisper, but I heard it. I wasn't surprised by it though, I found it to be pretty cool...

Hey guys I have a question about Bleach. I watched over 100 episodes so far but didn't take into consideration up until this point when I should watch the movies. For those who've watched the anime and the movies does it matter when you watch the movies? Is there a specific arc when you should...

Hey guys, I'm back, but this time it's not to talk about how much progression I've been making. Some of my Schizophrenia feelings have come back sadly and I fear that all the progression I've made was for nothing. Here are some of the symptoms I'm talking about: Fear of speaking, fear of...

Hey guys, since I recovered from social anxiety and schizophrenia I just want to remind everyone that it is never too late to overcome these problems. A lot of people would say that schizophrenia is something that you can't fully recover from, and I agree to an extent. There are still some...

I know I am beating the medication thing down to the ground here, but I am just so fascinated at how it has worked for me, and want to share the hope of recovery with everyone else. Getting past the pride was the hardest thing for me at first. I simply didn't want to be told I had to take...

A about a year and a half ago I went to see a psychiatrist because my disconnection with society wasn't improving. In fact, when I went out with friends I felt like I wasn't even there mentally. This disconnection/detachment continued to get worse and worse as time went on. Since then (seeing...

Hey guys, well in my Journal thread I mentioned a little bit about the brain being a muscle, and that it can be shaped and developed in a way that can enhance social skills. This is something that just came to me the other night when I was out playing D&D with a group of people. My mind was...

My brain hurts after socializing for any amount of time. At first I'm fine, I'm actually in the mood for interacting with someone who has the same interests as I do, but then 15-20 minutes into it my head/brain starts to ache, as if there's too much electrical activity going on from all the...

I came to the realization tonight that I am never going to live a normal social life. I have put so much effort into developing social skills, went to a psych doctor, tried out various medications, put myself "out there" despite how I feel, but in the end I find myself no more improved than I...

Figured, why not! I might as well make a journal seeing how there's been a few others who have decided to make one. I don't really know what to talk about though so much of this is just going to be me ranting and connecting words together. One thing I am a little disappointed about is how I went...

I had a friend over, which was nice, we got to watch some anime, and now I plan on just watching anime by myself for the remainder of the night, and seeing how I just woke up about three hours ago I'm nowhere nears tired, so I'll probably watch an anime movie afterwards, the one I want to watch...

I said this before, but I want to bring it back up because I believe it is important, and it's pretty much immediate relief from anxiety in the heart. Get the heart pumping blood by skipping on your toes. You don't have to jump high or anything. Just skip as if you were doing so with a skipping...

Tonight I pretty much did nothing but play Pokemon Y for the 3DS and was getting annoyed in this one cave I was in because I was running out of full restores and couldn't catch anything because my Pokemon were 10x stronger than the wild Pokemon in that cavern. Eventually I came across this...

Whether it be in person or online I often sit at my computer chair for several minutes just trying to think of one thing to say that is actually worthwhile to say. I mean I could rant on about nonsense until the next Lunar Eclipse but that would pretty much just be a waste of everyones time...

I'm too anxious to talk around even friends that I've known all my life. When a couple of my friends and I are hanging out and watching anime, during moments where we start getting into conversation, I find that I am always mentally blank and too anxious or fearful to speak. It's like when I go...

I went to my doctors appointment the other day and brought up the time he talked a little bit about autism with me and how he came up with that diagnosis. He told me that schizophrenia was coined by the name autism by some one (I forget the name he mentioned) and that a lot of the confusion of...
