All anyone can suggest is what worked for them. For me, it was…

  1. Work with a competent psychopharmacologist to get the right combination and right dosages of meds for your particular body.

  2. Take the meds as prescribed and see your p-doc often enough to get adjustments as needed.

  3. Stop ingesting any other mind-altering substances.

  4. Do whatever it takes to reduce stress in the environment to the extent you can.

  5. Accept the stress in the environment you cannot reduce.

  6. Eat well and exercise enough.

  7. Get into psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness psychotherapy.

  8. Get into face-to-face as well as online support and stick around the winners, not the whining losers.

Be aggressive in your own recovery. Seek out help. Take your meds, see a therapist or psychiatrist. Join a program or support group. Maybe try a vocational program or day program. Make a friend to hang out with. DON’T DO DRUGS. Eat right. Get enough sleep. Exercise. Don’t hang around people who aren’t good for you. Don’t hang around places that aren’t good for you. Take chances, take risks. I don’t do all these but I’m working on it. Don’t isolate. Get a volunter job. Use your family for support. Keep an open mind and take advantage of opportunities. Good luck. Be patient, realize you can’t recover in one day or one week or one month. It’s a long process that can take many months or even a year or more. You put in the footwork now and do the right things and it will pay off in the future.

Work with your treatment team. Be your own advocate if you have that capacity. Probably the two largest things you can do. If you feel like your opinion is not valid or that you’re being shut out, speak up! Don’t let the system trample you. You are a human being first and a patient second.

Skull ■■■■ schizophrenia and then cook and eat its flesh.

After defeating it in battle, that is. See above for defeating it in battle.

And have some balls. This is a nightmare, this is hard. Are you scarier and harder than it is?

I find that pushing my boundaries and keeping busy, use destruction techniques
Set short term goals
For example say today I will go for a manicure
Getting out can make you feel you’ve achieved something
