Around 3 years bc I got good at recognizing situations that lead to fullblown episodes for me and when to go on medication preventatively.

I get flare ups here and there but haven’t gotten any major episodes since the summer going into my junior year.

I went from 1990 to 2015 without a relapse. Then that year a number of bad things happened that put me back in the psyche ward for two days, mainly for feeling suicidal.

My last hospitalizatin was Sept. 2007,so it’s been 10 years now. Wow.
Not because I’ve not relapsed though, more like no med insurance and I can’t afford it.
Considering I was hospitalized 25 times between Sept 1996 and Sept 2007, I’m ammazed I haven’t gone back.
Maybe everybody has given up on me?

Depressive break at 23. Psychotic break at 29 in 1999.

I get breakthroughs still but no major episodes since 1999. I do well on medication and that has totally changed my game!

I always have some symptoms but I guess I relapsed into a deep depression last winter. I still haven’t fully recovered.

I put less than a year, but I guess it depends what you consider a relapse. I haven’t been hospitalized in about a year and a half, which is a new record. But they don’t hospitalized you here for psychosis unless you’re suicidal or homicidal. Which I’m not really a fan of, but they’re aren’t enough beds to hello much more than that.
