[Ervin]

Hi, my name is Ervin, I am a 46 year old male, I have mental illness a mixture of schizophrenia and mania, I am being treated for it with fortnightly injections and tablets mainly antipsychotics.I also have five screws in my right ankle and it hurts when I start moving after resting, once it’s warmed up it doesn’t get that painful. am going to try to get it operated again. live in a place called community care units in Melbourne suburb of werribee(Australia), which is a community psychiatric ward.

Medication that I take takes away all my joy and faith and it makes me restless. normally believe in a God like described in near death experiences.

I like meditating but it doesn’t help much at all.

Anyway, what would be your recommendation on what to do to get better. I am already looking at changing the medication for instance. I have to take medication by law, plus I can be dangerous and I get very sick when I don’t take them.

Thanks
