Even if you have recovered from the positive symptoms?
With all due respect, doesn’t that go without saying?

What if you don’t have voices or hallucinations and you have recovered from the positive symptoms…?

It’s like taking a dump that won’t end

It’s a hell of a burden. I long for the days before I was sick, but that was so long ago, I was just a kid. I’ve mostly recovered for now, but it’s still very hard for me, perhaps harder than I let on.

For some people it is not that bad, objectively it destroys their lives but subjectively it makes it easier to cope with this situation.
Sure it’s a tremendous burden, but, for me, it’s a bearable one. I see others with much worse problems and think, “there but for the grace of God…” Everyone has problems, I’m just lucky enough to know what mine are.

No, because dumps are fun and schizophrenia isn’t.

I think you’re right about that pixel. It’s good to see some optimism in such a somber discussion. Thanks for that.
The human population should be glad that schizophrenia affects less than 1% of the world population. An estimated 24 million cases globally in 2013.
yeah the intrusive thoughts

It’s no fun but neither are a lot of other things when it comes to health. Physically I’m in pretty good shape…mentally it’s managed with the medications. I’m doing a lot better than a lot of folk.
It’s a burden…but not unbearable!
The negative symptoms are underrated

yes, but less though if you have a good support system.
Like, it doesn’t feel like a burden. Your brain isn’t built with a warning like “You now have schizophrenia!” It doesn’t hurt. It’s just frustrating.
