Even if I have sz

I don’t think I have sz, and I have said this multiple times…
but…
it dawned on me…
I am doing extremely well even if I have it… ok I cannot function with work, but I keep trying and even if I give up I pick myself up and try again… I haven’t given up trying… And I still keep myself busy … with crafts,…

prior to my last episode I went 10 years without psychosis, and I had another one due to coming off antipsychotics and trying antidepressants that did not agree with me. I learned my lesson… DO NOT COME OFF MEDS EVEN WHEN THE DOC SAYS ITS OK TO.

Yes, I also stopped meds twice and relapsed both times.

I am more than happy to be functional on meds right now. And it’s not a high dose either.

Ten years ago I started with zero insight, now at 40 yo I seem to be doing much better. My family and doctor have helped loads. They always point out early signs of suspicious behavior.

Same, when I was in psychosis I had no insight… I don’t remember anything … and then my family tell me what I said and it really makes me more adamant to stay on meds.

Finding the right meds is tricky. Sometimes the bad side effects are too much. That’s what I believe pushes many ill people to stop taking their meds.
