I use My Intuition all the time. It’s what guides direct experience. Or rather it’s how you navigate direct experience.

IMO, no such thing as “intuition” exists.
I knew someone who thought so once. She prided herself on her “insight.” One afternoon, as a guy was asking me for soda bottles for the redemption value, she sprang forward to try to stop him. I asked her what on earth she was doing. I gave this guy my empties for the deposit every day. She merely assumed that I felt bothered.
Never assume anything. Whenever you assume, you make an ASS out of U and out of ME.

Assumptions are not Intuition. Your confusing yourself. An example of Intuition is say when your about to make a left turn on a green light and you see a car coming. Do you go or do you stay. Depends on the moment. There is no set of rules to guide you through that other then your own Intuition. It’s not about jumping out at people to stop them from returning soda bottles. That’s just impulse control. Further, there are two ways to figure something out induction or deduction. But that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m just talking about how to make choices really.
I don’t think left handedness leads to poorer outcomes with mental illness.
I’ve seen it can affect your life expectancy and stuff but those sort of studies are always so skewed.
Even genetics don’t answer it and I’d say intuition with schizophrenia is a double edged sword. Most of us just run into the mental health system pretty hard. That isn’t intuition!

Don’t understand what your saying @rogueone
Why is it a double edged sword. What is running into the mental health system. I think the op misused Intuition in this topic. I’m just attempting to stick up for Intuition. In the end it comes down to trusting yourself.

Most folk with schizophrenia run into the mental health system. Ie they hit the hospital system with little choice.
A double edged sword is intuition. You think something might be relevant and it’s anything but. Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder and choice often isn’t something you have. I agree with you on previous post but often trusting yourself is a problem.
There’s no trusting yourself in psychosis!

I can only say, on my behalf, that my ap is working very well at this point, and I’m happy about that.

Yeah I get what your saying now. There was times where I didn’t know what to believe and I guess it boils down to this. But I can also tell when my capacity is repaired. And am able to make choices and trust myself. I have learned though that the nature of psychosis is you aren’t aware that your experiencing it. It’s sort of a paradox I guess

yeah @ablue. I’m with you there. I had insidious onset. Psychosis just crept up on me over a course of a week or so whilst I was working in a workplace of over 300 people. The journey itself did more damage than the onset of schizophrenia for sure!
I too can trust my judgement now! That is important!

Going by intuition or assumptions is bad and I admit I do it myself too. Facts & evidence is the best way to go when making a conclusion.
