I feel like I’m just starting to get much better generally in life. I’m seeing my friends regularly and I’m starting to look for some work. I’m 18, so the most I’ve missed up to this point was some high school, and a year of college, but I have my diploma and I’m going to be going to college in the fall. I’ll confess, I’ve always been in relative control of myself even when I was going through some sort of intense psychosis, I never freaked out on anyone because of my symptoms, I just kept it to myself mostly. I guess I’m lucky there.
Anyways, I was just curious how many of you here are doing well and consider yourself well on the road to recovery.
My road had a lot of holes in it where I keep falling in. Since this is nothing new, it’s kind of my normal, just wish my physical body wasn’t falling apart…it hurts to get old.
I’m doing well mentally but at the same time i dont like living how I’m living right now i am too lazy and stupid to do my online classes so I’m probably never gonna graduate, i dont really have friends i talk to a few people online but they dont even live in the same country as me and its hard to get a job and i just see too much that could go wrong, so basically i am not psychotic the hallucinations are a lot quieter now which has improved my life some but my life is still horrible overall and i wish i could just be successful happy and sane
I’m doing ok right now. I can’t quite say I’m on the road to recovery yet, I honestly don’t believe that will be the case until I can find a med combo that works for me. But I am on the path I need to be on for now I think.
I feel I’m on the road to recovery. I’d say I’m in remission. I haven’t had symptoms for months, I’ve traveled overseas and gotten married, I’m not missing any work hours.
I’m doing pretty well. Happy relationship, doing well in school, close to family, a few good friends, nice house, decent retirement savings, lovely cats. I am happy more than I am sad, and my stress is relatively low.
Wish I was earning money, but one thing at a time.
I’m not in a hurry to do much work x
I’ve been running a theatre company but I kind of partly failed at that and messed up the production of my full-length play x
Now i’m a bit annoyed and have just been exercising again.
Only into week five of running and cycling
Three hours a week run walk run
And 2 to 6 hours cycling
Not bad going but I’m still obese
I need to take care of myself for a while
Theatre is stressful and I’ve done quite a lot with my short plays
Thinking about if I lose weight running 10 Ks again
And doing 60 mile bike ride and a holiday on a 185 mile trial
My life could be a lot worse, but I still struggle with accepting myself. I am living on my own, but have missed a lot of evening medication and even supper some nights. I guess no one’s perfect.
I’m quite happy with things right now. I still have positive and negative symptoms but my quality of life has greatly improved since moving out of NYC and in to the suburbs of Lisbon, portugal. I’m in the process of learning the language (not easy) and I get outside to play tennis twice a week. Living space has greatly improved. So basically all the external aspects have gotten better. I’m still in no condition to work, but that’s ok with me.

I have been in several relationships but those guys dump me once I tell them about my mental health. I’m 28, jobless and still living with my mom. I hate present status. my doctors advised me to reveal my health status to any prospective suitor
I am doing what I can but my capacities are limited.
I would like to be able to do chess opening preparation and strategy and tactics and board visualization and play at master strength, unfortunately I can’t.
My capacity to work and to study mathematics and to do chores is nonexistent.
I don’t care about myself though, I think that there are probably people who are doing well,
I saw a CV of someone(Israeli) who had a mathematics Phd at age 25, now that’s good!
So happy for him love him so much!
If I get 100 percent healthy there are loads of things that I can do, both work and otherwise,
and if I can change my parameters I want to be able to do anything on earth!!
I won’t reject doing better, but I don’t care what happens to me, que ce va ce va and the most important thing is staying alive.
My husband and I are best friends first. We met a long long time ago and became good friends and that developed into a romantic relationship. He was with me before I was diagnosed. We’ve been together tern years.
28 is still young, look for a friend, not a husband.
