Have anyone recovered completely from your condition?

@Jonnybegood here’s another one for you. I can only listen on the radio with the volume set to odd numbers. Even numbers are too flat, LOL.

Quite often, when I look at my microwave the time includes either a 17 or a 13. When it’s 17, I’m going to have a good day. When it’s 13, I’ve got some karmic debt to pay off. I know it’s senseless, but it’s just part of my thinking

I’ve never talked to anyone with the same condition, thanks for bringing it up :grin:

By recovered, do you mean recovered with meds or without?

I’m no where near recovered

For me there is no “recovered” until there is a permanent cure. I am told I have a major episode about twice a year, and a manic episode about every two weeks…something like that, my life is more like a psychotic roller coaster. It’s both bipolar and schizophrenia… I become manic and just go up and up and up, and then I become despondent. If I mess with the routine I become completely unstable. I have had depression before and it relates to the weather and stuff/since everything is connected my hope is that I could add some vitamins or nootropics to Abiilfy and see if it helps ease the mania and depression, and prevent anymore episodes.

My illness resembles bipolar more than schizophrenia now, but I am really strict about taking my risperidone so not really sure what I would be like without it.
