The voices are not bothering me

By MichelleP Saturday, August 08, 2009

right now.  I have been putting stuff off and off.  I have to get the kitchen clean, but I keep putting that off.  Maybe it has something to do with the urinary retention the other day.  I keep wondering what that has to do with and what caused it.  The ER doesn't even know.  If I find out I won't find out for at least three weeks.  I don't feel like doing anything now.  I am becomming very lazy.

Not man vioces today

Hi Michelle,

You've been through a lot the last week. I'd feel lazy too. Watch a good movie, read a good book, what ever makes you happy. It's just down time.

If you're able, can you tell me if you're on any other medication other than risperidone?

God Bless,

Steve

No, I should be though.  The voices came back.

Hi Michelle,

If you're at a wonderful picnic and a fly keeps pestering you, what do you do?

You swat it away without a 2nd thought. If it keeps comming back, it does'nt stop you from enjoying you're family and friends. It's just a fly.

To swat a voice, just say "stop", and keep saying stop until it stops. You are in charge, not the fly.

It works for me. I hope it helps you.

PS: If my comments are not helping you, please let me know. I won't be offended.

I'll stop posting, but wishing you well. The  way you think, you are!

God Bless

I also have times when I feel very unmotivated to clean and tidy up.. although deep down I am a clean freak. I always used to complain when things weren't orderly and tidy. Yet I look around my apartment and it definitely needs cleaning. I wonder what it is that stops me from just going ahead and doing it... instead I let it build and build until I'm having a visitor or some other real excuse to do it. Lazyness must be the worst aspect of sz, because we are all capable of great things if not for lazyness.

anyway, all the best with it...

Hi Michelle,

 

Sometimes you just have to take it easy, I wouldn't say that's lazy.

 

Be kind towards yourself.  Take it easy if you need to.

 

Regards,

Christina
