I spent the last 8 years of my life being schizophrenia

I’m 41 going to be 42 in February. I’ve been psychotic for 12 years. I was prodromal a couple of years before that. I dream of recovery so I can study again. I envy those who can work and study.

I turned 50 in April. Sza for 35 years. I managed to get a bachelor’s and master’s sometime in between but i don’t work. Life is hard sometimes but i keep positive and keep pushing on. I am doing SO much better than i was in my 20s…

I’m 60 years old and am starting to get aches and pains also
I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 20 so that’s 40 years with me living with this disease.
What a long and strange trip it’s been!

I am 37

First episode I was about 17 when it first got picked up

My 20’s were tough

30’s by comparison have been ok

Think the independent living helped me a lot to avoid conflict

My 20’s very tough also. And my 30’s were better. Late 30’s and early 40’s have been relatively stable for me. I think the illness does actually get better over time @Joker
