https://www.livingwithschizophreniauk.org/advice-sheets/can-you-recover-from-schizophrenia/ I’ve been reading a lot of statistics including those that say only 10% of schizophrenics are able to work again… This one is promising and says 25% will recover fully. My dad recovered fully and my functioning is improving a lot. I encourage those on here not to be discouraged. You may see yourself improving and might soon be able to try part time work or something…

How long have you had this illness?
I’ve been on meds since October 2016. That’s about 10 months now. I have improved markedly in many areas of functioning starting 4 months ago, so now I can do things like feel joy and clean house 50 min at a time… I also feel more social now. Maybe try sarcosine…

10 months is a very less time when we talk about schizophrenia because of chronic nature.
I think I can work the only problem is the stigma. At least that is where I am right now.
Yes you should be really proud of yourself if you can work while having these symptoms and don’t have to live on disability. I admire you for trying. Good luck to you!

Wow thank you tukey.
I genuinely believe u can recover from psychosis with meds but negative symptoms dont improve u just learn to live with them better. U may call that recovery but no matter what i do i cant enjoy anything.Maybe not sz maybe i recovered but life sux
I hope everybody will recover.

My goal is to function well enough that I can do both those things that I need to and that I want to within a day while managing to enjoy myself. I hit that goal more often than I miss it. Doubt I’ll ever be symptom-free, but at least I’ll be functional enough.

I consider myself fully recovered. Although I can’t work because of the way society is and the way the system is set up.
