im on vacation and still technically inpatient for psychosis/paranoid schizophrenia. im on xeplion injections and the days are so hard. the stress and change in environment + heat is making me do worse and im counting down the days until i go back home. im not alone and my parents know, so im able to and allowed to take it easy but my body is constantly in fight/flight/freeze and i feel unable to do anything yet i feel the need to do something at all times. what do i do? im doing not so great and have valium for when i feel extra uneasy but im going towards the end of this last injection. i can talk to the ward when i want and i have a couple of times already but the rest of the time i feel so out of it. help

how to deal with the negative symptoms? avolition and anhedonia bothers me the most, the other ones i dont really care much for. im inpatient and i think the meds are making negative symptoms worse. i cant get myself to do anything but lay in bed and listen to music but the days are so long. positive symptoms are less bothersome but avolition and anhedonia haunts me every second of the day.

how to deal with it, i just want it to go away and actually be able to do anything at all

im currently on forced hold for psychosis, a month in now. its been tough and impossible to cooperate about medications but i got injections now and planned to move back to a more open unit the upcoming week so i am medicated now. i escaped from the old place and had cops and ambulance getting me from my home and the psychiatrist had described me as «very psychotic» in their notes which confuses me because i dont recognise that at all. i dont feel psychotic let alone «very psychotic». im able to shower and be on my phone (tho for small periods, but still).

anyway i need to go home soon, im also autistic which makes admissions even more difficult on me and i dont thrive in this environment. how can i get discharged faster/what are they looking for when they can release someone?
