Has schizophrenia gotten worse for you, over time?

Your story is still important to tell. People who’re in those first 1-5 years need to know what you have said, as I remember feeling very hopeless and thinking there was no point in taking meds or trying to recover.

It’s been two years since onset and I’ve only had one major episode to date. I think I’m getting better? It might be too early to say lol. I was really bad off for a while, then gradually my outlook started to brighten and my paranoia started to fade. I don’t know if I want to try going med-free after reading some of the stories here; don’t want to potentially ruin a good thing.

I feel ok, but my symptoms have gotten worse.

My positive symptoms got better (with meds. no better without), and my negative symptoms got much worse.

I understand I wasn’t either, it’s really hard.

Sometimes it feels like psychosis completely robs any cognitive skills.

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you are feeling better.

Certain things like tea bring my mood up for some reason. When I’m in a good place mentally and not having an episode, things seem to be getting better all the time. Most times when I think life can’t get any worse, it somehow improves. My negatives improved, I made friends I talk to almost every day, found support groups, found a job that’s a good fit, been in relationships… I think when I’m in a healthy place, I always seek out things hoping something will arise from it that will make my life better.
