What do you mean to recover?
I suffer from schizophrenia already from early childhood.
I don’t need a recovery, I need a cure.

Honestly I think I am in the process of recovering. I’m thinking in the next few years I’ll probably get kicked off of SSI cuz I’m doing a lot since my diagnosis. I’ve been working volunteering and going to school. I even got an associates degree and drivers license after I got diagnosed.

i will recover 100% with new medications and already available supplements
it will be like i was never ill
I feel that I’ll recover… there are moments where it is clear that I’m on my way out of the head mess… life is complicated though and work is demanding in so many ways… The stress and the fact that human nature is so diverse that there is a chance in hell that people will ever do anything but keep you guessing… It’s just noise all around.
I keep taking on new complications… primarily love interests… which is kind of dangerous to the point I’m regretting a lot of it as my head begins to tick over the nonsense…
Just more experiences in general to learn from… in the long run it all just comes back to being good on my own… more confident that as I understand myself and women more I don’t have to just be left sold out on the idea… “Oh I’ll always be alone, it’s really easier for me to just accept that.”
I just know myself better than that at this point. I like women… my life and mind are a hell hole of dissatisfaction and lacking immersion in entertainment and the nature of women is always something I’m left pondering over…
Today it’s something I’m trying to get away from… Kind of sitting on the verge of a heart break or a frustrated break down over yet another girl giving me mixed signs… She doesn’t mind me being around… she doesn’t mind a flirty tone with me… but she’s got her ■■■■ the way she likes it apparently and frankly I’m fairly impressed with how well she maintains the boundaries… it’s just that the boundaries themselves kind of upset me… just impatience in general… I like the scenario because it’s the only one that I can actually be subjugated to learning more about myself…
Just gotta throw it away again… Got wrapped up in a day dream over nothing.
Still… geeadd damn… tough to quit thinking about them when they done things to charm me over time.
Makes me want to just run around and try to transcend the life I’m stuck in, but that’s just a wasteful dead end experience for the most part.
I have good mental strides every other day at least… even quicker when I find the resolve to just drop the cigs…
I feel like i have recovered. Just waiting on social security so i cant do much
I don’t feel like I can “recover”, but I think I can improve quite a bit.
I think I can live independently hopefully soon. I think there are certain jobs I can do, for 10-15 hours a week, I don’t know if I can get them.
So maybe a degree of recovery.
I am #ProRecovery but I don’t even know what is wrong me so I don’t know how I can recover 
I do.
It’s possible to have unusual ideas and thoughts without being SZ. I’d personally love to be able to get my freak on without the head meds, thank you. They beat the crap out of me physically.
Uh, no. SZ is not an indicator of character, good or bad. It’s an illness, it’s treatable, let’s not romanticize it.
Keep a recovery journal. Make notes of what you’re doing well with and what you aren’t doing so well. Of the problem areas, pick one that you would like to improve in and then work on it. And keep working on it. Be aware that this could take months. When you DO see the improvement (and you WILL), find something else to improve. You’ll find the next one to be easier. And then it gets easier again. Recovery is, in part, a skill. Skills can be learned and we can ALL do it.

Short answer - Yes.
Long answer – maybe not completely, but I am working on my insight and I am trying to learn that it’s “all in my head.” But it’s hard.
Take care Far-cry

That’s delusional thinking.
You need to take the pills as directed. That will help you acclimatize to the side-effects and overcome them.
How can i overcome not having enough energy to walk up the stairs and passing out on a bus ? I guess every organism is unique. In my case med fluctuation is good for me.
pixel i agree with you but lets not call some thinking delusional just because it might be wrong
beside that you are spot on
no need to romanticize our conditions
i just dont see how it can help us in battling this illness
im always saying there is nothing more we can do compared to normies
actually it happens a lot we can do only less than them

I only can recover if people leave me alone, maybe it will help me with my intrusive thoughts. I’m afraid of my thoughts. Also having support helps.
