When you went through psychosis?
I sure did.
Sometimes I have lighter moments now where I see the humor in things. Or I’ll laugh out loud to a video or something I’ve read.
Those moments are nice.

I went through psychosis in my teen years and I remember that nothing was funny during that time in my life. I had to regain my sense if humor along with an optimistic view of life. It took many years to get to this point.

Yeah, I used to be quite sarky and sometimes even witty with sarcasm but now I don’t have anything to laugh at as far as me making jokes goes

I seem to of lost mine compared to before hopefully it comes back. Lack of thoughts as well but at the same time also racing thoughts about nonsense.

I’m always been a serious sort of person. I do appreciate black humour…..but I’m not very good at making it.

No. I like to annoy people. Some laugh at me if they hear it. That’s the one thing this illness cant take away

Yeah, I lost my humorous personality in high school when I went psychotic. I was a quirky, fun class clown kid in school and found a lot of friends through that humor.
When I broke in my Sophomore year, it took my football teammates by surprise, and really, everyone by surprise. It was a testament that schizophrenia can happen to anyone.
Later on, during my senior year, I gave a speech on my illness and how it changed my life. The speech teacher told my sister when she was in speech class, I had my teammates and others crying. This was pretty touching for me, and it really reverberated the sentiment of everyone having a personal hell to go through this life.

Personally, my sense of humor improved. I think before I went through some illness related hardship I took myself too seriously.
Nowadays, I have some fun being self deprecating and just bs’ing. I dunno the full psychology of it, but I guess letting go of the pressure of feeling like I had to be some glowing representation of functionality has helped me not give a sh*t anymore, lol.
Yeah, same thing here. Somtimes I’ll see a meme or video that will crack me up, but its not the same as pre sz. I think its a combo of psycosis, med side effects and depression though.
No, I still have it. One of the problems I have is when my hallucinations say something funny and I laugh, seemingly unprovoked. It’s embarrassing lol. Happens very rarely now that I’m well medicated though.

Yes humour, what some people don’t have they can’t lose. 
I dunno that I lost my sense of humor, but it has somewhat changed.
I don’t laugh as easy or readily anymore, but my sense of humor is still a little dark at times.
It’s still there but it takes the right people to pull it out. I have to be comfortable to be funny and I’m very rarely comfortable.

I still have a sense of humor, but it’s definitely not as good as when I didn’t have this disease.

Yes, but I went searching for it. Turns out it was where I seem to find everything else. The kitchen junk drawer.
