My suffering has been severe, moderate, and mild, at different times, over 37 years with schizophrenia. I would say moderate most of the time.

I developed schizophrenia in 2013-2014 when I abused Piracetam daily for a number of months, but the true suffering didn’t start until 2015, when I developed a chronic 8.5/10 headache that didn’t get much better until very recently.

did I have to get on meds.

So happy when it went away.

I’ve heard voices since I was 5 years old or so. They didn’t get bad until I was in my twenties though.

Yes I am female. I manage by fighting every day to not binge, because it is highly likely if I binge I will attempt to throw up. Are you female? Do u hav bulimia?

I’m female too, went through some anorxeia,

used to be rather pretty, and thought I needed to for men.
Godspeed, honey.

I’d like to be outgrowing this by now,
but it’s not looking like it.

I can relate to this feeling. I feel like I need to be thin as well. I don’t kno if I feel like that for men or because I feel like no one likes me wen I am overweight

Deep down a part of me wants to be too thin, but lately I hav been very unsuccessful
