we often rely on other people to remind us who we are if we are acting out of character chances are nobody is going to tell you that you’re that way instead they just throw you in a hospital if psychosis is so bad then why do you feel like a different person maybe it’s because reality is change to some maybe for the better maybe for the worse but that change was brought on you could have been small could have been a large but something did happen do we know who we are do we really we can go by names we can go buy dress codes we can go by styles we can go by numbers but in reality you define yourself and when you lost yourself that is where schizophrenia gets worse
we evol boss, we all unique… the beauty is within all
no I don’t know who I am was wondering that the other day.
It’s pretty much impossible for me to determine exactly who I am from day to day. Being defined by others is wrong in my opinion. There should be some middle ground.

I lose myself by just being in myself now (if that makes any sense). I haven’t had the practice of editing my waking thoughts, so I still make mistakes. I cross the line from time to time, and I have to learn to not do it.
I don’t think I really know who I am. I gave up on my dreams with the help of Sz’s paranoia and fear. I am constantly berated by my mother and it just wears me down. I get snappy and rude. It’s starting to come out on here. She talks about the neighbors coming into our house and moving things when she knows that it is a trigger for me. There is no way that I can continue to be on a support forum, because I am no longer capable of being supportive. I am also having problems with a violent person at work who just drove past my ■■■■■■■ house.

Most people define themselves by their likes and dislikes. For example, I like cats, and I like dogs. I have pretty much been that way throughout my life. I am a person who likes cats and dogs. Actually, I like all dogs, but I pretty much like the bigger ones better than the small ones. That’s who I am.
I got help from studying astrology. Like most Librans, I can be sweeter than triple chocolate brownie fudge. But then again, Librans are sometimes as cross as a crocodile with poison ivy.

Bummer about schizophrenia!
I think one of my issues with me always having the psychosis is that people just established my weirdness as being a part of my personality. All my symptoms were waved away as quirks I had.
Makes me almost wish that I had been normal once, so people could have realized something was up with me sooner. I could have benefited so, so much if I had gotten help earlier in life.
Yeah except people were telling me something was up and I ignored them. I was blind. You are who you are. Psychosis or neurosis is a part of it.
You don’t take meds… What would it have changed.
I’m pretty much the same as I have ever been, just a bit more grey hair.
That’s true I suppose…honestly I had already learned to hide it by the time I was pretty young, and I wasn’t aware of it being a psychosis until…what I was like 16?
Anyways I still think getting help would’ve been nice, it could’ve saved me from the depression I went through. But then again that kind of shaped me into the person I am today and I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Hmm.
I am the walrus. Goo goo g’joob.

I think our major challenge with sz is to define ourselves and get re introduced, we will be fascinated at how well we are at the outside and in the eyes of others, but lack of self awareness is what damages us most and leave us depressed with a huge lack of motivation. As we progress in life and get to engage with activities we will get to recognize our strengths and highlight them also recognize our weaknesses and work on them, but in order for that to happen we need to establish a routine, a working routine, an academic one or even a social one where we interact with many people on different levels and observe how we react to them. it requires effort but in the end this is a battle and we need to sail our ships in order to recognize the deficits in it.
