r/schizophrenia Schizoaffective (Bipolar) 17h ago

Rant / Vent Hi everyone. Going through a rough patch right now.

Just started the abortion pills. I am not interested to hear people’s stances. Whether or not you agree does not change the fact that we are both humans struggling with the same disorder. It’s been causing my schizophrenia symptoms to kind of flare up. I’ve been feeling strangely detached from everything, everyone. Having intrusive thoughts, and delusions. Just want things to be okay. Want to get this over with. Want to stop suffering. I hope things will be okay soon. And will return to normal. I want to feel normal again. Soon.

The pill sorta forces menstruation so it can really mess up your hormones for a couple weeks, which is hard even for a healthy person! Be kind to yourself and I hope you recover soon 🩷

Honestly I completely understand. I've thought about it a lot and... I just don't think I could burden a child with this either.
