Paracetamol cravings (extra Substance abuse/Self Harm warning)
for th main context: i have been diagnosed with psychosis around 3 years ago, maybe 2 i dont remember (even though theyve explained more complex stuff, such as schizoaffective disorder and what not i wasnt listening and i never was able to get official papers for some reason)
that out of the way, i experience a shit load of manic episodes, which usually are of the "lows" category kind, therefore depressive episodes, and as of recent ive noticed i mightve begun falling into one long before, and only now realised (despite me explaining to peoplei have the suspect it might starttsoon)
as school started, ive increased in needs to >!self harm!<and ulterior needsto smoke (ive kept clean enough, to avoid getting concerning amounts of nicotine noticed in my body during sport evaluation, urine and blood), and so has my desire to drink (after aswell being clean off of it, or atleast drinking it with moderation).
a craving ive noticed altyhough has been paracetamol. I've never been on paracetamol, never abused it, barely used it for fevers, and one time only for period cramps,. Ive had a similar craving with ym SSRI (Zoloft, aka Sertaline), even though the antidepressant has only worsened me (note: i wasnt given an antipsychotic, sertraline was given to me when it all was only an anxiety disorder, before being suddenly cut off of it when there were no effects)
os there a reason why i'm craving so much paracdetamol??? should i be concerned or is it jst some subconscious aactivity
