krishna: The paranoid schizophrenic
I try to write about my everyday experiences. By reading regularly you are likely to encounter issues surrounding mental illness, parenthood, family life and my being a mature student among other things. I long to one day write about things that matter, maybe you could help me along the way.

Scared of moving cars
I've developed a fear of cars that I can hear drive by but can't see.
I'm out having a coffee with my babies.

Baby, sugar and commentaries.
Hey,
Sorry for not posting as often as I used to; my time is taken up caring for my little man.
He came home on the afternoon of the 6th December.
Being a dad is great so far, although its upsetting to see him cry when I change him.
I'm suffering with terrible sugar cravings and I'm putting weight on (this problem isn't helped by the fact
that I have to take silly medication).
The voices are a lot better, they only talk to me when I'm on my own for he most part.
They're becoming easier to deal with on the whole but sometimes when they get a little intense its
a shock to the system and they seem a lot worse than they actually are.
I had another appointment with the psychiatrist and he seemed to think I'm making progress
so I'm hanging on to that and working towards further improvement.
Thanks for reading and leaving comments.

Apology for lack of posts
Hi everybody,
Just a quick message to let you all know that my partner gave birth to our son on 4th December, 10:45am.
Misha Gray was 5lb 15oz, healthy and is showing all the signs of a strong start to life.
I'll write about my mental health side of things soon; I'm pretty sure it will be an interesting read.
Thanks for reading and being patient.

Medication Increase
I went to see the Doctor and he has increased my anti-psychotic medication from 300mg on a night to 800mg on a night! That's a 167% increase!
It was one of the stranger sessions I've had - I was asked to look at an image and describe what I saw and was also asked to 'write a sentence'; write a sentence? What the hell!
Well, I'm suffering from fatigue today, that's the newest development, I still have everything else on top though.
Thanks for reading.

Bad couple of days
Ended up at A&E last night and it was nothing but a massive waste of time; the crisis team were useless.
I'll admit to not taking my medication and I agree now that it was a bad decision.
Tonight is the night I start to get back on track so I took it.
I never realised how quickly things can progress from bad to worse but now I know and I want to get away from this as quick as I came into to.
I have a very supporting family and I owe them everything.
I have an appointment with the psychiatrist (never met him/her before) tomorrow so I'll keep you posted about what's going on.
Thank you for your responses and I hope my absences don't put you off reading.

Things can only get better
I think not; things are getting much worse.
My world is collapsing.
