  I was suicidal literally every single day until my doctor put me on monthly Invega Sustenna (meaning sustained, it's a long-acting injection) shots. I didn't want to live at all, and now, it's very rare that I get suicidal thoughts. I thought Suboxone was my "Miracle drug/Wonderdrug", but it turned out that for me, that wonderdrug was Invega. It's basically a very strong metabolite of Risperidone/Risperdal. I beliiiiiiiiiiiieve it is 9-hydroxyrisperidone, so yea, a very potent Risperdal...

  So, about 6-8 months ago, my pdoc put me on the Invega (Invega Sustenna) long-acting monthly injections (because she knew damn well that I never took my meds). And I'm going to list the pros and cons of Invega, but before that, let me tell you that it's truly been a lifesaver.Some of the side effects I'm going to make mention of have to do with libido, so read at your own risk. They won't be graphic, but I'm warning you now.So if you're unfamiliar with Invega, I only really have a rudimentary...

  is such an important thing. It's an under-appreciated gesture.I have a boyfriend, a girlfriend who's genderqueer and thinking about going on Testosterone, and an on-and-off flame, and yes, they all know about each other, because I'm polyamorous. But Evan gets most of my attention BY FAR because he actually makes the hour-and-a-half to three-hour drive to come see me 1-3 times a week, give or take. HE DRIVES BETWEEN 3 AND 6 HOURS ROUND-TRIP A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK EVERY WEEK JUST TO COME SPEND...

  FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN! (with or without links included, but why not add a link if you're going to add a song... or two, or three, or four? I'll start us off, I suppose.)I'm going to do the songs I've been listening to *the very most recently* in order of -Metal and all of its subgenres. (I've been listening to Pig Destroyer a lot and they're a grindcore band) (I'm a prog snob and wouldn't touch most "grindcore" bands with a 10-foot pole, but Pig Destroyer pretty much saved my life and some...

  I gave up on getting SSI/SSDI/Medicaid a very long time ago, but I didn't do anything else about my situation, either. I just sat around the house and got very, very depressed.Well, I can't stand to just sit around here every day doing nothing any longer. I don't care how sick I am. I'm going to get a job!I already applied at the Kroger down the street and am waiting to hear back. I'll fill out more job apps once I get to feeling better.I'm 22 and if hired, this will be my FIRST JOB, EVER.Have...

  I made it a couple days ago. Checked back to see if there are any replies (I just remember i posted something here for the first time in ages), and it's gone. I don't understand? I spent a long time writing it and now I can't re-submit it with whatever the inappropriate content was edited out. Ugh. (Not a rant or a whine/anger post, just an "I'm confused right now" post.)

  Hello all! I'm just going to do a simple update. I'm not on here very much anymore; not sure why? Just kind of forgot over time, lol. I hope you all are well! If we used to talk often on here, you can message me and I can give you my Facebook so we can stay in touch, since I'm not on here a lot anymore.So. I don't remember if I told you guys, but my mother fell ill with a blood-oxygen content of 34%, Liver Failure, and Aspirational Pneumonia, and was hospitalized twice, almost died once, and I...
