I had a topic like this once. Some people jumped down my throat a bit if I recall correctly. I was trying to see if we could come up with anything positive about it.
As for my answer, SSDI and medicare way before most people get it. But I would gladly give up both to be free of schizophrenia.

You hardly feel alone.

I can name a few things. I’m kinder and more empathetic. I have to be. If I wasn’t nice or respectful, I would be in a room and board or on the streets or something. The illness is hard enough. I do think if I never had psychosis or schizophrenia, I would be an Atheist still…perhaps even a Libertarian still.
So in a way, I’m blessed. In other ways, I’m traumatized. I don’t know. I cannot really ‘wish’ schizophrenia away, but wish I never had it.

I’m more philosophical and spiritual (religious). Furthermore, I can think more abstractly, but at a cost. I’m always in left field haha. I also struggle with math now. I have a hard time motivating myself every day.

Developing the illness taught me a lot. It gave me years to sit back and think about everything. But thats just because it was traumatizing and rocked my world. Other things do that to people all the time.
I cant really think of any good things about the illness itself.

You get good at concealing things when speaking to people who are not in your inner circle.

I can still walk, breathe, eat, live, anxiety of it is the downside…. Addictions was a bad thing, disorganized thoughts and making decisions has diminished!

Those are some good points dude. Sometimes we forget there’s people who are paraplegic, who are completely blind, or in constant pain.
Sz sucks don’t get me wrong just saying. If we count our blessings there are a lot of them
