I’ve been feeling like I want to move on from schizophrenia and this forum and ACT but mentally I’m still not 100% and I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to where I was before I started having mental health issues 12 years ago.
I actually feel like I need more medication, like another antipsychotic, another antidepressant and something for anxiety. Maybe I can bring this up to my psychiatrist when I see her later this month.
it sounds like complete opposite things but in some ways you’re the same person you were before you got ill but in many ways you’ll never be the same person. And you probably won’t ever function as well as you did before you got ill. You can still be high functioning though and do many normal things. But it’s kind of useless and a waste of time to try and get back to the level you were before you got ill. You just have to accept that you have an illness that affects your functioning and make the best of whatever you got left.
I think you’re right and it is useless to think I can go back to how I used to be.
