does anyone believe that something positive came of all the misery

I won’t feel fully positive until my thought broadcasting is resolved. My voices are almost null now, so I feel good in that regard, but the thought broadcasting makes me feel like some kind of targeted individual, and is very limiting.
Once it’s all resolved I can state the cliché that the experience was a character builder, but I honestly would have been better off not having schizophrenia in the first place. It’s a completely bullcrap disorder.

In my illness, as many people with hardship do, I have become much more empathetic for those that struggle in life.

ofcourse! like the suffering that we go through has an effect. every sick person in the world bears a burden which serves a purpose. to make a strong person, and to influence others with that strong personality. we endure a lot.

I do. But I too can’t really go into it as it really falls into the “unusual beliefs” category.
One tangible thing that came from it though that I can mention is that I never had kids. I never wanted kids and could have sleep walked into it if I didn’t have schizophrenia.

I think I have gotten better at sarcasm.
But it did make me understand my mom’s suffering better

Yea it put me right off kids.
I may have had kids and then regretted it if it wasn’t for psychosis

No, i don’t really believe that something good necessarily follows something that is bad. I guess if you wait long enough the tide will change and something good will come along, but i don’t think that it is because you’ve gone through something bad. Good and bad things happen to us more or less randomly. My attitude to life is that, although i may have schizophrenia, there are treatment options that help. It isn’t like the old days where people with mental illness were more or less tortured and shunned from society. I feel grateful to be as well as i am.

For me the schizophrenia makes me more aware that everyone is facing suffering in life. Life is no picnic and we must have compassion for others.

when i stop comparing myself to others… i feel that, because of my support system, my life is more capable of focusing on things i want to do everyday instead of being at the will of someone else who doesnt care as much as i do about my life. sometimes the comparing can get really disturbing too.
but with not having certain things it brings about a blessing that i am free to do things that most people cant despite not being able to do the traditional aspects of modern lifestyles such as holding down a job and making 40 or 50k a year working and breaking my back for someone that like i mentioned doesnt care about me. so really the only thing i need to watch out for is my ego and trying to be more humble towards other people who take the time to reach out to me.

I believe that all the misery on this side means less misery on the other side.
