I might surprise you.

I try to stay positive. If nothing bad happens, I generally recover. I just need to be careful with what I let happen in my life. Life is a lot about improving yourself. I’m somewhat grateful I have so much to recover from. So much potential to get stronger!

I’m doing very well now but I don’t think I’ll ever be symptom free. It’s ok though. I accept it.

Of course, we all going to recover, it takes time, psychosis is a weird experience. We came a long way. They won’t be a cure, but a recovery. Depends how much recovery you think you need. :thinking: I recovered several times. When i was in my 20s i managed to make pointless certificates. In my 30s i chased the wind, in my 40s i fully recovered and now in my 50s i finally can enjoy life. I had several psychotic episodes. Even last year at the same time i had one, but i recovered. I live a good life.

I dont know if ill ever fully recover but i think i can do better. 2 years ago i was getting paranoid at the smallest things. Like making dinner or my mom getting home from work. Now not so much. Ive made progress in two years and thanks to max dose invega i dont get any positive symptoms. I no longer believe i can telepathixally communicate with family! Yay!

See and that is kind of my problem. Every time I start to recover I think back to things i’ve seen that don’t make sense and it throws me into turmoil. I’ve been having better luck now that i’m being honest with my therapist, but i think i’m always going to have doubts about reality that end up leading to delusional thoughts.

Hey @anon84628834 . Did you decide to stay and not leave the forum?

I’ve lost a lot due to my illness and self destructive tendencies and ignorance. My voices are distraught, like one million years progress down the drain. And they told me when I was seven it would happen. I either don’t know the full extent of damage done or I’m good natured about it. I know I’m not God. Maybe that knowledge is a big win for me. I’m not God and neither is the voice! My childhood was so dualistic, I was so in love with myself!

This started for you that young?! I’m so sorry!

How do you not know? Are you talking about me or you?

We are all one.

Then how do you not know?

I do wish for a stronger remission one reason being because I think it’s associated with less social anxiety for myself.

Don’t know what?

Honestly, ■■■■ recovery. Its been over 10yrs of torture and suicide attempts, still no improvement. In fact I am getting worse mentally and physically.

Recovery means different things for different people.
I see it as a 2 steps forward 1 step back game. Its how it usually goes.
Recovery is a long game
