I’m actually doing OK, but I know that accepting I have schizophrenia will help me in the future. How have you come to terms with the fact that you have sz? I’m on aps and I meditate daily.

I don’t care for my diagnosis at all. Only thing that matters is to put my symptoms under control. .
Positives with ap, negatives with other meds and cognitives with nootropics. That’s my way.

It’s an illness, it’s treatable, I accept the treatment, I get on with my day.

J-roc??? 
To the op, it’s not that big of a deal when you’re getting good treatment and have a good support system.
It takes time to fine the right meds, but patience is key.
Recovery is possible if you believe in it.

I’d like to add something but I think @anon84763962 has pretty well nailed the response to a T!
You’d better…otherwise it’s likely to dominate your life!

I still think something is giving me an illness. Haven’t accepted that it’s genetic. I guess I need more patience.

I believed in my delusions,voices ,paranoia etc so I did not think I have schizophrenia because I believed it.
It is only recently after many years that I have begun to understand that the right medication can help and I can even laugh at some of my delusions etc that we’re pure agony to me back then but years later I can see humour in it and believe that I was wrong and that hey I may actually have schizophrenia.
It’s sad that i isolated from loved ones because I believed my Symptoms etc
I understand now that medication can do wonders.
And good support etc

Well I don’t think I’m ever going to be ok with how it likely will stop me from working full time, which limits so many aspects of my life. Or how it’s kept me from working at all, so far, besides a short stint at Goodwill for voc. rehabilitation that was just to accustom me to work.
If you’re asking, Do I realize I’m sick, than yes. I’ve had this from the age of 14 and I’m 37 so I should hope so.
At least I do have meds that help now. That wasn’t the case for the first 20 years.
