For me yes , I am. But I know with this illness , I could tare down this version of myself , unlikely , but I can see how it could happen. It makes me a tad bit sad , but heck life isn’t fair , I have no expectations of life to be honest , no sense in wallowing
How bout you , are you happy with who you have become?
No not really. I keep getting told I’m preparing for something…so that makes me something in progress. Sometimes it feels like I’m going backwards though. Who knows? Maybe that what I’m suppose to be doing.
A huge Yes. 
The person I was… I never want to see him again. He was angry… he was hostile… he was stubborn and selfish. The things I used to do to people… Make me cringe now.
I am much happier with who I am now. I can hold my job… I’m in school… I’m not the man I was. I have found joy in being kind… helping others and finding contentment in a simple life.
I’m getting there. Still feel like some weird telepathic ■■■■. Constantly rewriting my programming. Find stuff to settle on though.
Telepathys not real.
I am still growing
I am a firm believer in choosing the least worst option. Because life does not have to offer us anything at all.
I would say absolutely not. I’ve gained over a 100 pounds from saphris and other meds I’ve been on. I can’t find the right medicine. I’m afraid all the time something bad may happen and my hair is falling out. I also have some other problems I care not to mention. My life has gotten worse.
No, I´m not the person I used to be, I have struggled a lot with negative symptoms the last year. And I can´t read and write, which used to be my living. I miss my old self. But I hope for recovery and better medication!
There are things about myself I like, and things about myself that I hate. I don’t think anyone could hate me as much as I hate myself. Maybe I can turn things around. A lot of my shortcomings I can blame on my illness.
Not really. Being sz is not a walk in the park…however I value friendships more and I am not materialistic. I’m humbled by this ilness and that makes me a better person in that I have understanding and compassion for others with limitations or disability. I’ve learned to relate and belong to you beautiful fellow zs people on this forum.
Yes. I usually feel I take 2 steps forward 1 step back 2 steps forward 1 step back then other times I feel like I’m in a hamster wheel lol
yes
I like who I am not what I am
We will all get to where we need to be at some point.
For now I’m content with having a blank mind. Gotta get over these symptoms so I can work. It’s nice though I’m no longer tormented by the cognitive mess that is sz.
Not at all. I’ve never satisfied with who I have been. I’ve been trying my hardest, but I’m not getting anywhere. And I’m getting tired lately.
It’s like I’m using the wrong tool to do a specific task; it’s much harder and time-consuming AND the task will never be completed. I know if I drop this tool and pick up the right one, the task will be done easily and then complated soon. But I’m somehow addicted to the wrong tool and can’t let go of it. I need it to be surgically removed from my hand…
I don’t really feel SZ at all right now… The trick is to quit thinking about it. I know I’ve still got thousands of hallucinations ahead at least.
Really these messages. I don’t know how many I’ve heard in the last two years but it’s probably astronomically high.
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” All the trials I have been through have made me a better person overall, strong, not shielded from any problems. I have done some pretty stupid things, but they were opportunities to grow. So, yes, I am happy with the person I have become.
Yes and no.
I am happy that I gained a sense of empathy, and constantly strive to be a more selfless person everyday.
I am not happy that in my pursuit to become a better person, the more and more disgusted I became with my own perceived flaws that I felt hindered me in that goal, which sort of shoved me into self-loathing that I now struggle with on a regular basis. I’m not proud of how that turned out at all.
In all consideration, yes, I’m happy with the person I have become. I have a serious mental illness, and I could be a healthy weight. I’m working hard on both. It’s going well. It’s a tough a question to answer when your battling some pretty dark stuff.
I had no choice in the matter, but so far so good
