Not very. I am doing pretty good right now.

Yeah. Touch wood I’m doing really well at the moment. I get a little paranoid sometimes but it’s nothing major and all in all symptoms are pretty light lately.

I said 3!

I put 8 my life is falling apart.

It is not too bad. I still have the symptoms of schizophrenia which hinder me in some things. I have been pretty stable the last 30 years.

I had a small relapse on a trip… so I guess travelling is out of the question for the time being.

I also can’t seem to maintain a job for more than 6 months… and it really is “me+my illness+other personalities” that brings me to it.

I might be vain, but I frankly do wind up being dissapointed in who is around me… and it’s when those folk make things unecessarily difficult for me… I just want to run… I’m a kind person who doesn’t take his griefs out on people… so those whole situations just lead to massive internal conflicts that I begin to experience as part of my waking nature.

It’s a long shot that I’ll ever find appropriate placement… part of life is learning to get along with others… the key disappointment is when I find others aren’t so committed to that. It’s like suddenly being warped back into high school.

I put a 6. Life is manageable at the moment. Odd blip here and there but nothing i cant deal with! Im lucky enough to have a good support network at the moment.

9

I put 8. negatives are severe…

10

I put 4. Not too many positive symptoms except for paranoia, but I do have negative symptoms.

  1. The negatives are hitting me hard

I put 6. It’s an everyday hinderence but I still get on well enough most days.

13

I put 3. Today it might be a 4-5 but on average it is about a 3. Anxiety is one of the biggest things I have so I get scared of challenges sometimes. Life is challenging for me but these days I’m generally up to the challenge. The days where it was too much to do simple things like stick around for a 3 hour party are behind me.

I’m doing pretty well most of the time, I think most of my current issues fall outside the realm of schizophrenia, although I could be mistaken.
