I find myself feeling very depressed at times and feel like there is no hope. Any words of encouragment? I was just diagnosed in February.

Do not wish for things to happen as you would ideally have them - instead, wish for things to happen as they do. Nature has a plan for you - we will all be fine in the end. You’ve found a caring and supportive community here. I hope you stick around <3

There’s hope. Most people experience some kind of recovery but it doesn’t happen overnight. In 1981 I was living in a long term hospital with a hundred other tortured souls. Now I am living in a nice apartment with just one roommate to get along with. My case was severe like everybody else but I’ve been working almost steadily since 1983 and I’ve done a ton of fun stuff.

Things will get better. This isn’t a death sentence to have sz, it just makes you unique and part of an elite group of people who perceive life differently than normal. Be proud of what you have, and remember just cause you have sz, doesn’t mean it has you.
Most people won’t know your illness unless you tell them, so remember that people don’t automatically know what’s wrong with you. Also keep in mind that your symptoms WILL improve to some extent over time, with treatment and therapy (if therapy is needed).
Hang in there! We’re here for you <3
