Yes, I still struggle with more negatives, but my positives mellowed out with age.

Most positives went away with meds, the rest went away with time

I am currently not suffering from any positive symptoms with meds. I haven’t had any mood symptoms for many years. No anxiety. No insomnia anymore. I still have negatives and cognitives though.

I did, after switching to Latuda a year ago and change I had no more psychosis, some occasional lingering symptom from time to time, but all very contained. The cognitive symptoms are still in a very drawn out recovery but the improvements seem to be slowly petering out. The negatives come and go, anhedonia used to be the main driver of the negatives but these days apathy and avolition seem more relevant to my condition as the stuff I’ve had more trouble enjoying has long since been cut off.

Yes, by very hard and ongoing work.
I see delusions as stemming from dissociation. Changing the circumstances (as far as I’m capable) and trauma work help.

I don’t have any weird delusions anymore. I still hear voices but it used to be all day long. Now it’s just a bit every day.

My positives are mostly gone thanks to meds. I do have some paranoia. But I have negatives and cognitive symptoms though.

Yes, the voices are not there apart from when I get panic-like attacks. Abilify wiped them out.
But, the feeling that I was/have been under external mind control in the past never really goes away. If you think it is a delusion then it is just that. But, it sounds really true to me, but at the same time I doubt it some times too.

Yes on perphenazine. My voices have gone away. I still hallucinate visually when I get stressed. The stress can lead to a “breakdown” type thing where stuff gets bright and weird and I get paranoid and feel “exposed” or naked. I pretty much can’t function when that happens. It’s not daily though. Perphenazine also pretty much knocked out my thought broadcasting and ideas of reference.

I have voices that I can choose to speak to.
Nothing else otherwise.
I am delusional in a way because of my beliefs, but not in a crazy way. My life is otherwise normal. Been off meds again 2 months and a bit now.

Mine have pretty much stayed the same, but I have gotten many times better at handling them. Stress management is the biggest part. The less stressed I am then the fewer positive symptoms I have and the stronger my insight is.
