Did you accept your sz?

I still refuse to have sz. I still believe that I will be cured from it one day. I avoid making big decisions now because when I get better in the future I will regret my past actions.

I agree you can put it into remission with many careful calculated actions about your health

Doesn’t matter if I accept it or not – it has accepted me and seems intent on hanging around for like, oh, the rest of my life.

I’ve accepted it now, but not initially. Was a very hard thing to get my mind around.

I am close to acceptance. I wish others would do too, because that is still an issue to resolve.

I’ve accepted that I will have residual symptoms for life. There’s always hope that you cure but statistically that’s a minority.

I just take meds, volunteer and work towards a part-time job. That’s all I can do.

I accept it, but that dosen’t mean that I have given up on improving or even full remission at some point.

I didn’t accept my diagnosis at first, I thought my psychiatrist was mistaken but I really didn’t know anything about schizophrenia at the time and when I got out of the psych ward I Googled schizophrenia and realized I had almost all of the symptoms that were listed so then I realized I most likely have schizophrenia. Later I accepted that I have schizophrenia because of the symptoms I have.

I’m working on it. Sometimes I think I have sz and others I don’t.

For me it’s always been a struggle between bipolar and schizophrenia

I haven’t accepted it. Even though doc and nurse said that I will need treatment for the rest of my life. I still think I will get cured from this horrible disease.

What I hate most about this illness is that I can’t trust myself. Especially in public, I keep questioning my sanity. If I’m totally insane or not. And this in turn fuels my anxiety. The anxiety I have is unreal.

I do accept that I have schizophrenia.

I do accept that I need help.
I do accept that I need a psychiatrist.
I do accept that I need medication.
I do accept that I need therapy.
I do accept that I’m going to have good days and bad days.

I don’t accept my prognosis.
I don’t accept that I’m hopeless.
I don’t accept that schizophrenia writes the narrative to my life. I do accept that I do.

So, yes, I do accept that I have schizophrenia.

I accept the sza diagnosis. Why not? It certainly explains everything I have been through all my life.
