I dont know if I am truly recovering. I still feel like a shell of my former self. The anhedonia for life is ever present. I have no motivation to do my hobbies. I’m depressed and I find it hard to focus on myself and my goals.
Don’t know if recovery is a thing for everyone

I think I’m in active recovery. I’m not stagnant, but it’s still like I keep saying very slow progress. That I keep making weekly monthly yearly.

Not that good this year. Im finding delusions and voices are not going away. They seem to be with me always. Some days are less intense, some more so. Treatment Resistance is not fun thus far, lets say.

Honestly, that’s how it feels: just when I think I’m out of the woods and doing better, along comes a setback to remind me I’m still ill.
Gotta take the good days as they come, and take it easy on the bad ones is the motto.

Well, I haven’t been hospitalized for 10 years. I’m a hundred times better then I was when I first ill, I’ve had schizophrenia for 47 years and I’ve made slow progress. I’m one of those whose schizophrenia has gotten better with age, my symptoms are way less intense and come and go. I’m able to work and live independently fairly successfully. For years I was afraid that I would need to be hospitalized at any time, that fear has pretty much gone away.

Not feeling too well. Worst is I feel possessed by a really negative person. It causes me to drop things and spill things and today I had thoughts that I didn’t want and aren’t my own. Also don’t want people to know my own affairs. I have voices/ people not treat me kindly but I don’t know why.

I’ve also plateaued. The tiredness of the meds affects me even after quitting smoking. I imagine as my lungs heal, the tiredness may improve.

Glad you quitted smoking. I’m taking meds too to sleep. I pray that everyone on this forum gets well. I hope things get better.
