Apparently this is a term my doctor or psychiatrist could use to diagnose that my brain has the inability to process that I have an illness. Because I have lack of insight
Hmmmm
Wish me luck next week when I try and explain I don't have schizoaffective disorder and don't want to take quetiapine anymore or swap it for a different drug because of accepting i have physical side effects
Oh help 🤣
Whatever next???
It's good that I found this out before going, because if I lose it, he's going to believe I have it even more
Give me strength ☺️
So, yes I have experienced depression and psychosis in the past, BUT I have come to terms with any negative experiences in my past and I have reached forgiveness and acceptance of those situations and I'm moving forward free and looking forward to a positive future 😊 with stronger coping strategies 🦁and safe connections. Thank you to everyone at TC 🫂💕

Yes and I'll have to show that I'm respectful to the people who have invented fancy words to get the support for tapering

I'll privately invent a fancy word for this situation 🤣

Yea but those are NOT the people who invented these words. The scientists and the researchers did it.
We have a huge gap between the very correct pieces of science and total inability to apply it in practice. The theory-practice gap. Which is largely why we suffer.
You are aware that your negative experiences are very real and very negative, yet may find the existing help lacking.

I am a firm believer in all kinds of science.
I apply the scientific method. Which is I can predict if my wellbeing will be getting worse or better, and in recent years I am becoming right more often than not.

I think in my case, here, they will believe me eventually, as my doctor said 'Time will tell' so it will take time. I just need to apply new coping strategies regularly into my lifestyle. 100mg for 6 months and feeling much better is proving they can allow me to remain on this dose for now. 😊
