Sorry if this is out of bounds, but I was just thinking about this while watching soccer. If @rogueone is a functioning 100 sorry to do this to you, I think highly of you man. I would say I’m probably a 58 on a scale of 1-100. I want to be a 70 by the time I go back to school. Sorry if I offended you.
It’s all good. I function pretty well but still have breakthroughs. I have learned to deal with those however and they aren’t so much a problem anymore. I still can’t work. It is too much for me and I soon get paranoid and stuff around people which makes it all too hard.
You can call me anything you like. It’s after all a subjective thing but I still fight for better function even now. I’ve just been doing it since 1999 and I’ve been on the same meds and dosages for like 7 years. That helps more than not!

I’m probably in the 40s. Things are going really badly and my psychiatrist thinks I should go to the hospital for a few days to rest and get my medication adjusted, but I’m not really in so much danger that I have to be there.

I’ve been on the same meds for a little more than 3 years. I do think there’s something to that @rogueone.

Best of luck @Sardonic. I’m sure you will get it all figured out.

Yeah I’m not grading myself with a number. My functioning is OK, but I can’t work.

I think I function well for the amount of ■■■■ I’ve been through. Still always improving.

I was 5-25 in 2013… now I am 90-100 so we will call it 95.
I quit Zoloft 2/8/18 and I am having some effects with impatience and a sexual side effect but with Latuda + Lithium + B9B12Nacetylcysteine and another multivitamin… I am in the zone people!
Keys to success:
Honesty with Doctors
Quit cannabis use, do it
Quit all substance abuse and dial in to sobriety, fix your mind, and then resume maybe having one beer or two a day.
Eliminate variables that can change your psychological zone, like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, you do not need them for human survival.
If I have made it this far, so to can all of you; good luck!

I think my potential is anywhere from like 40-80, 40 when I’m lazy
and when I’m at my most motivated 80 is probably what I could achieve.
a low stress life is the life for me so ill probably never really push myself beyond a 80

Did you post your test score from the dental exam @DelusionalSandwich? I might have missed it. That’s great to hear.
@yaz1 that’s a pretty big gap. Yeah I never probably got above an 80 at my highest functioning.

Right now I want to say C+. That is about a 75??? Below average by normie standards but I generally manage quite well with my daily affairs except today might be a bad day… On a good day I might be a B.

Me too around 75. I manage fine but have some highs and lows and cannot handle stress very well.

I would say around 40-50.

If rogueone is 100 I’m 90, if a normie is 100 I’m 40.
Akathisia is my strength.

I think I’m 60, ive just had a major breakthrough after thinking I was going to die by my own hand, I just have had enough of being dictated by others and I am taking control of my life for good. So I am just over the edge of being static. I feel like I have some hope now.

A -20 on bad days. A +90 on good days.

My last GAF (General Assessment of Functioning) score on my discharge from hospital was a 38… that’s some DSM score the doctors give with 100 being perfect functioning and 1 being needing constant supervision. I kind of feel it should be around a 50.

I must take this test @WhiteRaven.
on meds I might be better than @rogueone on a good day maybe 110%
on a bad day like recently i went as low as a 40/50% but it was weird bc i had unusual symptoms and my sz was still under control, was more like emotional, tired, shaking and a few others…
on meds compared to a normal person probably 60% as i cant work and stress affects me really badly, i get anxious (i think this is rather low but it seems like the right number somehow)
off meds its probably like 0-5% as my head just goes blah
