Nope. I’m declining slightly.

I suppose I’m better than when I was psychotic. I still have negatives that drive me up a wall though.

I’m doing much better than off meds but worse than when I was healthy.

Yes. I think I am recovering from this.
Definitely not. Life used to be free. Now I have nothing but insane people making me homeless all the time.

I like being an adult.
School was the worst thing for me, and it ruined my childhood - big time. I was treated very badly by a lot of people. I did not know my friend from my enemy.
Now I have just myself, and close close family and that’s it.
I will live out what I have left in a detached state from society, as I have been shown that only family and people who’re paid to care will actually take an interest in me.
To answer your question, yes I am doing better. Growing up was hell, and who gives a ■■■■ about sz. Just take your meds and plough through it. It could be worse. Just bumps in the road, and others can have it much worse than you

No I think I’m declining but meds keep me going.
When I first got sza it was very gradual - started with anxiety and two years later voices and delusions then two years later depression and hypomania and two years later my breakdown
When I relapsed in 2012 it started with anxiety and depression and the psychosis only came some months later in form of paranoia. Then the voices only came a year or two later.
Now I get voices more and unusual beliefs and paranoia. But as I’m on meds the depression and mood swings aren’t so bad and psychosis not so bad either.
Off meds I am worse than before. Severe depression and agitation and rapid, hectic mood swings - and psychosis. Thank goodness my meds work!
Lately I think I got worse because my psychosis developed into a form where Alien the evil spirit tries to control me and wants to use me to kill things so off meds I’d be a little bit of danger to myself and maybe others.
When I just relapsed it wasn’t as bad as this.
I don’t know if it’s just that I’m more aware of it or if I’m getting worse.
Yes I am doing better than in the past. National Alliance for the Mentally Ill has free online peer support groups which have helped immensely.
Since having sz, yes. But not better than before sz.

i’m more woke but more sick and disabled now. i kinda blame supplements but at least im content and sometimes happy. i feel more things now like emotions and pleasure. i had a sick case of schizophrenia. some people say it’s more like schizo-affective because i have depression and some mood swings. i have depressive type. its pretty severe. ive seen some people work. it really caused damage to my psyche and brain and mind. sometimes, i think i was experimented on and have trauma whether real or partly unreal. i get stuff like invisible mental images in my brain or perception of alien encounters in other lives and past lives and people too like seeing into my past lives or quantum physics crap of people in many worlds theory moving around similar to the movie where the character went crazy in ‘Alien Code’ on youtube. i get a lot of delusions and im pretty sincere now about my illness and that its real. but i think i will surprise people about how smart i am even though people think im psychotic and normal. i mean i think i built a time machine an infinite amount of past lives ago and so i think i have recall of other things like trauma and aliens and crap and possible broken tabula rasa stuff and potential in life.
like im convinced i was an alien in a past life and helped run but not build the simulation or a simulation. i have urges to build a universe or simulation but i wont and don’t want to. i just want to figure it out. i dont want to escape unless im completely cured which probably wont happen.
Sometimes, I feel like because demon entities were attached to me, I’m not a real Christian. I think I went to a 11/12 dimensional universe with two times and that is the simulation running through a blackhole which can allow stuff to possibly go through or that created us. sort of like minecraft lol.
so like the aliens from slaughterhouse 5 novel, they can see all of time at once like at a point. infinite memory or perception. then you got evolution or higher intelligences going on in their world while we are ■■■■■■■ trapped here including myself with schizophrenia.

Thanks to good support from my stepdaughter and granddaughters, combined with a mental health service that doesn’t see character assassination as an acceptable form of help and support, Im doing far better than I was in Essex.

I’m doing A-OK. Like a couple of other people have said: worse than when I was fully healthy, better now than at any time since I got sick. I’m hard on myself though, so I sometimes forget to appreciate what I have.
