I only created this poll because personally, I feel like this illness has stolen my personality/identity

I still have the same core personality. The negative symptoms and meds may cause me to not care or have as much enthusiasm some days. They affect a lot of things but the core of my personality is the same.

I hope that is the case for me. Perhaps if I find something to help my negatives, then my personality will come back. (but that’s the big question, idk if my personality is gone, or if it’s just hiding because of lack of dopamine in certain parts of my brain)

Developing a serious mental illness has made me empathetic in a lot of ways that I wasn’t in the past

I used to be so bright and bubbly, full of life and vitality - now it’s all gone. I should be thankful that at least I didn’t develop this illness until my late forties.

My proper personality actually surfaced when i went on the injection.
Im more pragmatic these days, i dont know, maybe its cos im older but
im more philisophical these days.

All the years when i wasnt medicated just seem like one paranoid blur.

Maybe my postives made me more haughty and my negatives made me less cheery sometimes.
