Yes @Historylover I was hoping that you would not get put on a CTO (Community Treatment Order) and instead win the tribunal hearing. Was trying to get you to be successful in that hearing to avoid injectible treatments which you are forced to take against your will. Yes you will experience extreme exhaustion. I did not want this happening to you I tried to warn you but now I have some suggestions...
Movement is the key to health. You got to get the chi flowing but you won't have the energy to exercise on the injectible. In hindsight the best thing you can do is invest in one of these chi machines. Its the equivalent of walking for hours on end and doing lots tai chi as it gets the merdians flowing but no expenditure of energy required. You don't have to do anything, just lie on your back while your ankles are held in a rotating swirling machine that gets life force energy moving. Anyone in health will say the key to health is movement. I recently saw it being promoted on The Doctors show some time ago on the internet and they said the same thing.
Its great for people who are too tired and sick to exercise, folk who are old or bedridden. I could not afford to buy new but got mine off facebook marketplace, used condition. Many people use them, you don't have to be too ill to exercise. You can research their health giving properties, follow correct guidelines like starting slowly on an empty stomach as the machine is powerful. There are many brands of these machines, I don't know if one is better than the other. Another thing you need to know are there are contraindications so before you buy see if its suitable for you with you existing health profile.
Unfortunately theres not much you can do unless you have another tribunal hearing. You must be able to demonstrate you have sufficient insight into your condition and can be trusted to take your meds. What I suspect has happened to you is that you have experienced real life events that have been pathologised in addition to having a mental illness. That is the failure of this system.
We have people like us who have been shunted to the lower socioeconomic margins and are deserted by people who should be our advocates. It makes it very hard. Having someone vouch for you could have been the very thing that flipped the switch in a cold clinical setting that focusses only on pathology instead of the true sad state of the world we are in.
I wish there was something more promising I could say but you but I can tell you I have walked that path and come out the other side. You have my understanding and solidarity. I had no guide, had to work it out myself but these tribunal meetings are dicey and the outcomes aren't the best. I was hoping like anything you would win the case after what happened to me. All I can say is no to that drug. You can get put on better tolerated drugs in future. Lets just get the energy moving for now.
