Hi. I thought I’d introduce myself while I wait for my pizza to be delivered.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 16 years ago. I had one hospitalization, and a total of 5 psychoses in the first 1.5 years of illness. Since then, I have been on constant therapy with amisulpride. This drug suits me perfectly, and I don’t want to change anything. Without medication, I first stop sleeping, then develop delirium and psychosis.
I work at a large company as an engineer. I have an adult son, I am divorced.
I am writing via Google Translate, since my English is very bad. I don’t think I will write here often, but it is interesting to read.
No, there are no problems with work anymore. I have successfully adapted to therapy. This and recovery from extreme psychosis took about 2 years. On amisulpride, I feel better than before the onset of schizophrenia, oddly enough. I can handle a 40-hour work week. Negative symptoms are present, but I fight them, I have to do a lot by force. I have already gotten used to it. In the process, you get involved, and this is good). In addition, 5 years ago, emotions suddenly returned, at first I was emotionless, simulating feelings.
I don’t know if it is clear from my messages, I am a woman.
