Iirc the research says that hypnosis in general (not sure about theraputically) works on people who want it to work in a somewhat self-fulfilling prophecy kind of way. Put someone who's heavily skeptical of hypnosis through it and it won't have any effect.

There is no use judging where you are or what you've done, all you can do is focus on right now and what you're going to do next.
That sounds productive asf!

I always have to give the finger while being a bigger person or else you won't know how big I am.

OK well I'm currently on Latuda (40mg) and Lexapro (20mg) as of late December of 2019. I go to the terrible useless mental health clinic in my city. The doctor I wound up with is perfectly competent though I definitely don't love her. I wish someone would just give me Klonopin. Latuda was wonderful up until exactly one week ago when it abruptly just stopped working..? Not completely but, like, half-way. My delusional obsessive thought loops are back again (which is what the Latuda completely fixed when I first got on it-- I felt calm and peaceful for literally the first time in my entire life. I cried out of gratitude and disbelief a number of times.)

I don't think Lexapro is doing a whole lot either anymore. Next appointment is this Friday.

I'm just terrified that the Latuda will stop working completely.. leaving me alone with my Hell Brain.. If it does, they're going to put me on a different anti-psychotic, and I'm worried about things like weight gain and/or developing akathisia.. (I got a little taste of akathisia during my first few weeks of the Latuda and it was AWFUL. Like having eels under your skin.)

edit: I seem to have this sort of Nighttime Idiot disease where I find it appropriate to overshare between the hours of 10 pm and 3 am about any given embarrassing ordeal currently happening in my life. I'm very charitable like that.

Updates:

Received a letter yesterday that my primary care physician is also "making a career change effective immediately" lol. That's my entire care team all gone in 30 some days.

The good news is I'm meeting my new psychiatrist today (fingers crossed she doesn't cancel before I get there ), and will hopefully come away with a new plan for ongoing treatment because I am feeling like the snail in the well right now guys.

hope you both feel better. I over share also Chio, and WWWP hope the new psychiatrist is nice.


Im hoping my nurse gives me benzodiazepines because I've heard those at least work. might even stop smoking marijuana if she can give me one. and not a low dose, I have really bad anxiety

Cutting out caffeine decreased my anxiety in like, wild amounts. Might be worth a try in the short term.
