Even though I was having some audio hallucinations earlier today, I feel like I am doing pretty good overall. No paranoia, no thought insertion, no delusions of reference, no depression. I’m doing pretty good on my meds.

Up until a week ago I had the same attitude as you. It took me coming off meds for 11 days to make me realize that is not true though. There is nothing wrong with the way I am living my life and it is not because I just have a poor attitude. It is not normal to get stressed out to where you feel like you are going to break while you are just sitting at home and enjoying yourself on an evening. I think there is something wrong with the way I think and all the good behaviour in the world wont stop me from not being able to socialize properly, being a bit weird and feeling overwhelmed for no reason at all on a regular basis. I just have to get used to the fact that if I don’t want to have my mental health to become worse I will just have to take meds my whole life and just get on with things the best I can. I don’t like that that is how it is, but I think there is not much that I can do about it.

I was also a teenager when my sz started. I cannot get over the time I’ve lost and I hate myself for it.

I also got sick at 30 and am 36. My symptoms have improved a lot since it all started. Delusions and paranoia went away on meds but hallucinations are still there. Have you improved any since onset? I’m curious because I rarely run into someone with the same timeline as myself.

Yes I improved a lot, but not over night. It’s been with a lot of ups and downs. I still have bouts of depression and discouragement. But my sz symptoms have mostly disappeared. My current medication is abilify 10mg that’s all.
I try to run a 2k every day and to smoke less. These are my current challenges.
I am single but looking for an understanding partner who can accept my baggage.
I have a full time job and it’s pretty stressful. My productivity has shrunk compared to pre-illness.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. But I think I’ll learn to manage it better as time moves on.

I don’t think I can. Not yet at least. I’m always struggling with symptoms but yesterday I was thinking, my first symptoms started in 2009-2010, it’s been 10 years. Lifetime.
