in light of having this illness? What percentage?

I feel 80% responsible for my actions.

Lol. I blame everyone and everything else. It’s just the way I roll.

My delusions are probably stem from not taking responsibility.

I wonder if I didn’t take drugs that one night if this would never have happened. (psy hosis)

I kept on smoking weed when it was clear it wasn’t helping the situation. I feel some blame

I think I blame myself a lot… even for small things.
When I got evicted from my dorm because I had mental health issues, I blamed myself for it…not the residence. I thought I did something wrong.

I don’t feel responsible for my illness. I didn’t do anything that would increase my chances of getting sick. I’ve never drank alcohol or done any drugs. I just got unlucky. I also don’t think anyone who is completely out of it, not living in reality in the slightest, is responsible for their actions.

If it is genetic then I’m not to blame. I drank a lot of alcohol since early adulthood. Looking back I’d say it was a way to cope and also self medicating. Alcohol could have contributed to my sz. I don’t drink anymore.

There seems to be quite a lot of confusion here about what the question that we’re supposed to answer is…

I did not mean how responsible are you for becoming ill.

I meant how responsible are you for your actions while ill?

Everything that has happened was caused by the illness, so I don’t know how I am to blame

I feel 100% responsible for my actions. I do think we need to take personal responsibility for all of our actions, including when we are very ill, but I do not think we should be punished for actions we did while ill.

I’m sorry, I misunderstood you @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter.
Yes I am responsible for my actions.
Now that I am stable enough on my medications.

Gosh, that’s a tough one. I have certain mannerisms I can’t control, and I feel like I am about 20% responsible for that. In the thirty-eight years I have had this problem I have very rarely gained anything from that, and I have lost a great deal. As for leading a productive life, I’d say I’m about fifty per cent responsible for that.
