I’m doing alright but I feel no motivation to go back to work. Have to work on that.

Recovery is going ok. However currently depressed and it showed in my last chem exam grade… luckily the lowest grade will be dropped. I have to do very well on the finals… I have no motivation to continue school at the moment.

Can you discuss ‘extenuating circumstances’ with your school. They should take it into account.

Im pretty good. Average paranoia once a week. Thinking about asking my doctor for a mood stabilizer since it seems like mood swings cause paranoia. Im wondering if i get stabilized if ill quit getting paranoid all together! Wouldnt that be something!

My thoughts are just one sick porridge, of which i am very aware, so i feel shame when socializing, plus my illness is very physical too… 
Since 2 years, i am way more motivated to move in life, but in fact, its very hard and i am symptomatic almost all the time, idk where this will end… I start to be a bit more desillusioned in fact, idk…
Hugs though, love ya!

My recovery is OK. I ordered some sarcosine which I really really hope will perk me up a bit emotionally and I’m taking iron supplements for my fatigue. My paranoia still gets the best of me, but If I’m in a good mood, I can make the most of it. Everything else is good/stable but I want to work on these small changes.

My recovery has been going very well, especially since getting my own place again a year and a half ago.
I wasn’t doing as well the two years I lived in my (now former) buddy’s basement. Working midnights in a gas station for a couple years had me badly ■■■■■■ up mentally every work night, too.
Now I have my own place again, it’s nothing great but it beats the basement, and a good job, living well. Working is still not easy for me, especially when things get stressful there, but it’s manageable.
It’s been over four years since my last psych stay.

My recovery could be better. But I’m taking it seriously. My main complaint is my HI. It’s a b!tch. And makes me feel really alone in it.

To quote my last video consultation, Schizophrenia: In remission with occasional breakthrough symptoms
That’s true to a certain degree. I get odd thoughts and paranoia, but I’m OK enough to do a reasonable job of ‘reality testing’

Recovery for me is learning to let go. So what if I brush my teeth and eat after. So what if I sleep with my shirt off. So what if I forget the light on. So what. Some days are like that. When I can, things will be in order.

I went through a very brief, stress related, period of psychosis recently. But as the high stress was relieved, the psychosis went away. So, now, I am once again, happily in remission. And, this kind of thing seems to be my pattern when I’m on meds.

I feel for you. Had a really shitty week last week, it was a toss-up between pills or hanging myself. But with a lot of sleep and a little time, I feel so much better. Hope you’ll get there too

I said it could be better. I’m having some issues feeling tired and not sleeping the best. I occasionally have mild cravings for alcohol. But it could be a lot worse though.

My recovery is OK. I tend to isolate these days but I can relax sometimes and I’m not just hanging on by a thread like I was just ten years ago. Things are pretty slow and stable in my life. I’m getting use to the roommate who thinks he’s better than me but he’s gone a lot so I have the apartment to myself a lot which is nice. Work is going OK, it’s all routine and predictable. I have to make some changes since school is now over. I need to add something to my life; I need to do something else but I don’t know what it is.
I got all the free time in the world; I can only go to the park or out to eat so many times before it gets boring so I need to get a volunteer job for join the local walking group like I’ve been meaning to do for a couple of years now. At least I don’t have crisis’s going on all the time and I’m not suffering like in the 80’s. My symptoms are manageable, my medication is working fine; I just need to add some activity to my life.
