I’ve only recently been diagnosed because they said I suffer from schizophrenia… I was hoping to find a source of help because I knew I couldn’t be the only one dealing with the type of illness. I hope can learn more and maybe even encourage others to deal with it accordingly because I know first hand that suicide was always a option.

Glad you found this!!! It has really helped me feel normal in a way. It’s good to know that other sz people have similar experiences as me. Since you are newly diagnosed, keep a list of any side affects or feelings you are having with meds. Remember there are many different medications out there and some may work better for you than others. Talk with your doctor about them and ask questions on this site. The people on hear are great!!

Welcome! Yes this website is great for information and just getting an idea of everyone’s experiences with this illness, medications etc. It will also help if you post and share your thoughts with others as well and support by posting. What medication are you on and how are you feeling nowadays?

I find this site really useful. It sucks why we are all here but everyone is generally supportive. Just don’t piss off the mods by talking about Suicide or Religion!

I’m okay I guess, I missed a appointment with my psych so my housing was cancelled thru probation so I’m out on the streets dealing with making the right decisions off my meds

I’m doing okay for now, I’m solid and strong mentally , the voices really try to encourage me to do the right thing but I’m so caught up in the fact that I actually hear voices that it makes it tough to focus on what’s right. But it’s ups and downs for me, just trying to stay alive and free, and hopefully learn more so I can do better in life.

Yea, I’m prescribed medication and I see a doctor but I did a 14 year term so I’ve been on medication but I was never aware of the voices until I was released and I never thought medication was a big issue but obviously it is, right?
