When I joined this board in like October maybe, I was struggling a lot. Doing much much better now. And I have to give a lot of credit to this board. I feel this is like group therapy and learning and such a nice peaceful non-judgemental community. It’s great.
How have you improved/gotten worse since reading this board? I know the old site would make me paranoid when I was off my meds and in a way made me worse but this time makes me better for sure.
I joined right when it went up and now I am a lot different. For better, not worse.
I imagine if you’re off your meds reading anything on the online can be bad, but when you’re on them you don’t think so vainly and there can be nothing but benefit from this board.
Im the same as before, i have no symptoms. I had a delusion that´s why i was hospitalized.
Im glad i joined this forums though. I can relate and the people on here are the nicest people i´ve seen on any forums.
I’ve gotten worse, but nothing to do with the forum. I’m fairly low functioning, and some threads bring it home to me, like when people talk about what books they read (no concentration to read a book) or what car they drive (same concentration issue). I really like the website though.
Don’t worry it gets better. I just was about to make a thread about how I used to struggle to get through the day now it’s so much more natural. You gain clarity and insight that you’ve lost from psychotic episodes after taking your meds for a while and staying sober (that was key for me and will continue to be). I have my moments but overall it gets better. I was DX at 19 and now 24. And it wasn’t until 23 that I started to improve. Now 24 and doing much better. But everyones journey is different but good luck on yours.
it has helped me heaps…probably as much as my cbt.
i get to communicate
to share
to be accepted
to not be accepted…but that’s okay too.
i get to talk about delusions
to read others life stories
i could go on but some of you are falling asleep…lol
take care 
I think this forum has helped me a lot… it inspired me to go to school
The members have given me a lot of ideas on how to cope… When I’ve been anxious or manic… members have helped me keep perspective.
Some times I’m so deep in my forest… I don’t always see the way out…
besides… it sort of feels reaffirming to find out more often then not… I’m not alone in my boat.
I was on the old forum with the nickname Mobc1990,was active on the Main discussion board.I believe this board makes me feel a little better,I spend time to think and post here instead of doing nothing but the main help that got me better was my medication which consist of 5mg Abilify and 30mg Mirtazapine.Its the combination of these two medication that got me to a better health state,but I am only 70% recover,it’s enough for me to function well enough
This forum brought me out of a dark place . It gave me hope again . I was able to relate. I no longer feel alone in this.
I am very greatful for this place
I have gone through ups and downs of my sz but one thing is for sure I have felt much better with the support I have gotten on this forum. I am so glad I am here with you guys! 
I do know my provider is a lot happier because I don’t fight with her anymore. I go to the board. On the board I don’t fear being misunderstood. You guys know what it’s like.
