I would be better off dead!! Fu-ck this illness.
There wasn’t a marked difference before schizophrenia, for me. Just a stepwise decline in coping with the increasing neurotypical demands of life.

Before schizophrenia took hold properly I was using drugs
Don’t think that helped long term
But now I am clean and have been for about 13 years and counting
Think it’s about that long as I had a couple of relapses

@Twialine just want to say to you that beeing yourself again IS possible.
I’m just 2 years older than you. And 2 years ago I was STILL a complete mess. I’m pretty much where I want to be this days!
Btw could you recommend me a skin care routine for sebaceous filaments on nose, dark circles around the eyes and very little acne scars? I know about cleanse, mosturize and sunscreen. Should I try salicylic acid as well?

Before I developed schizophrenia at 27 I had a much better level of functioning. There were a lot of early signs that I had the illness. I had a psycotic episode that was diagnosed as “depression with psycotic symptoms”. When the psycosis had past I restored my level of functioning and I could study and work. Since my last psycotic episode I havn’t recovered my level of functioning. I am loosing hope it will become better. I would like to study but doubt I will be able to so, ever.

For my dark pits I make a scrub with sugar, lemon juice, and body wash but I wouldn’t recommend that around your eyes
Keto helps with blemishes on me
Lotion helps with scars
Always use lotion last so it can absorb
