Schizophrenia/schizoaffective: The good, the bad and the Ugly

@moriarty Hi moriarty and welcome. I am off to go for a walk before the heavens open might catch you all around later. Have a great day that includes @Lilyq@Queenie. Love greenpea 🙂

Enjoy your walk @Bunniekins 🙂

@Lilyqnow for an hour of qi gong :P. What have you got on today?

Not much @Bunniekins I am just hanging out at home watching a new show on Netflix called Maniac, it's quite good and is about a guy with mental illness who participates in a study.

Later on I have to take my daughter to the library for an activity there.

What is Qi gong?

@Lilyq qi gong is a bit like tai chi but gentler. I can feel it already working on my core muscles which is great. I hate being a rolly polly pea :P. Show sounds interesting might look it up. Have a lovely time at the library with your daughter sounds a really relaxing day 🙂

I wonder if I'd like Qi gong @Bunniekins? I used to do Taoist Tai Chi and enjoyed that but found it difficult to find a class or group where I live now. I know there are Qi gong classes as my neighbours across the street do it so I wonder if it is nearby? Hmmm.... questions to ponder.

@Queenie I can thoroughly recommend it 🙂 I am just doing it at home in front of the computer when I can fit it in and it 'seems' to be working. My core appears to be getting firmer (after about a month of seriously doing it) but it is more than that I want a spiritual thing as well which qi gong can deliver me unlike pumping it out at the local gym 😛

Sounds interesting @Bunniekins I have been going to the gym quite a bit lately. I do a mixture of weights and cardio 🙂

@Lilyq I used to go to the gym and do weights and cardio when I used to run (when I was 99% manic!). It was so, so addictive. These days more calmer excerise is the go. Done too much damage to my knees to run :(.

It's good that you are calmer @Bunniekins. It's just something I have gotten into recently (like this week). I am worried about the weight gain caused by the medication. It's a real shame that the medication causes such harsh side effects.
