I do… I had to leave my country. I feel like I got deported.

Yes but for me, as I don’t have any symptoms anymore. I’m happy and fine with myself. I’m working on anything that was affected and just generally doing pretty well. Days may be struggles sometime, but truth be told. It’s all a struggle for anyone anyway.

Yes. It took a lot. I’m depressed and hear voices everyday.

I used to feel that way then all I would think about is how I could take it back. Then I started to take it back. You got to take it back. Dont be a slave

It took 95% of my life. All I can enjoy now is food. I can’t even enjoy video games. But I keep having hopes for new meds. False hope is better than no hope.

it took a lot but not everything. there was a time when i felt absolutely useless but ultimately those feelings of self-pity really do no good. it’s a tough hand but you play the one you got.

It took nearly everything but I haven’t stopped fighting. I fought it the whole way.

Never give up.

I have low energy and low motivation since having schizophrenia. It was better on Abilify but I had uncontrollable addiction and uncontrollable hypersexuality side effects as the FDA warnings on Abilify and Rexulti.

Okay so… you can still overcome it. Think about what your good at, video games, khowledge about vaping, knowledge about pharmaceuticals. This is because you apply yourself here. Therefore you have to apply yourself in other areas and you will be skilled at those areas too

Trust me I tried, my whole family tried, many psychiatrists and Drs tried. They begged me. My psychiatrists kept pushing me on using Abilify and Rexulti eventhough I told them about the FDA addiction and hypersexuality side effects that are happening to me. I think its because they have no other choice.
