How do you picture yourself without schizophrenia?

I would be a physiotherapist or even a doctor.
I would also teach at my university.
I already have my physio major university degree and had very high grades.

I would be married and have kids and own a good house and a good car. I would defenitively be richer.

I would be in shape, healthy and energetic.
I would travel around the world by plane and by cruise.

I would take care of my family and my self.

I don’t know. Some of the meds literally changed my personality and I don’t remember what I was like before the illness.

I used to want to be a nutrition ist. Type thing

Diabetic coach

But that turns out is not appropriate for me

I wonder if I never turned ill how good at painting I would be

I would have considered something with that. If I was of a professional level.

Or just in the background and just be in administration but be in it well!!! And own my job!!! U know wat I mean.

I would still not have kids I have too many concerns about that

I’d be in a relationship and have friends maybe lol

Normal things

I’d go jogging 4 days a week and use my stationary bike once per week, make it a really tough workout :)) :)) ::::::::%::::))))))

I’d be there more for my siblings and to spend time together and if I didn’t get ill I’d think my whole life would have been different from the start which is nice cos some of those things were causes for my illness n I don’t like those things

But since Im ill, its all cool hopefully, things will turn out fine

Hopefully…

I have a hard time picturing what life would be like without schizophrenia.

I think I would be married and have kids.

I think I would have a full time job and maybe have my own house or apartment.

I’m not sure what else.

I know I might be stuck with SZ for life but I find it comforting dreaming positively about a cure.
It gives me hope in life.

Probably sitting in some native reserve writing transcripts on the dying language and living like how i used to when i lived on the reserve. More back to nature. Tho i mightve also switched to being a talk therapist so i wouldve been counseling people aswell if i went through with the switch.

I also wouldnt be talking about aliens and conspiracies, id be normal and not thinking of ways my stalkers are gonna mess with me.

Probably not much different than I am now, maybe worse. I was going down a dark path when sz started. It made me grow up and take control of my actions. I get better grades now than when I didn’t have sz. However I probably wouldn’t be living with my parents, but I’m 23 so its not really that weird.

My sza started so early (14) so I don’t know what I would have turned out like. But I would definitely have gone to varsity. I wanted to but then my sza became full blown and I couldn’t anymore.

If I didn’t have sza I might have had a job by now and been independent. But although I’m married I don’t have a job or money or a driving licence so I’m totally dependant on my husband for financial support and he has to come along with me when i drive as I only have learners. I think my teeth would be in better shape too.

I dont know…id like to think id have a simple life with my ex, my son, his daughter. Some friends. Good contact with my family.

In reality though…i think i was kind of messed up, reckless and with attachment issues before sz…i think i would have continued numbing emotions with reckless behaviour and adventure until i crashed in some other way.

Perhaps im much more accepting of a normal life now and content with basic stuff instead of wild travels, onenightstands and dangerous sports.
