Meds are the only thing that helped me fight schizophrenia. CBT helped a lot with anxiety and to a certain extent depression, I’m no longer depressed though and quit my antidepressant years ago… It took me about 15 years to find the right antispychotic, which hadn’t even been released when I was first diagnosed, but now I work part time, I’m healthy, and am doing pretty good. There are things I would like to improve upon, but things already have improved over the last few years thanks to a med change.

I’m a little zapped of energy because I take 1.5mg clonazepam for sleep and it lingers on into the next day, but it is tolerable. After some coffee and tea I am fine. I don’t have an anxiety problem anymore and haven’t in a long time thanks to CBT, but clonazepam is an anxiolytic so I am calm all the time now as “side effect” of using it for sleep.

Meds, supplements, CBT, therapy, working with doctors, keeping a recovery journal, trying for a good diet and regular exercise, keeping a positive, recovery oriented attitude.

I also bite ankles for the feels and taste.

Actions? I beat it about the head and shoulders with a steel rake three or four times a week. Or a cement-filled wiffle ball bat.

Meds, education and patience… and skating

Meds, supplements, regular pdoc visits, physical exercise and this forum!

Meds #1. Talking helps…

I don’t eat right, exercise, or do the right things all the time like drink energy drinks and smoke cigarettes, which makes me look weak and stuff. I haven’t given up at all, it’s just hard. I’m tired, I have a moderate case of schizophrenia/sza and that’s it really.

I just think of myself as a big punching bag.

Write my feelings out on paper. There’s a million coping strategies. Being honest when in therapy no matter how embarrassing. Try to read a little to improve concentration. Express negative emotions with art. Have decent sleep schedule. Keep appointments. Step outside each day. Do housework. And take your own advice, which I don’t always do, lol.

Tbh medicine is the only thing that’s statistically significant towards reducing symptoms, though studies have shown that some food and supplement and exercise constantly helps as well

Basically smoking loads, drinking loads of caffeine, eating like â– â– â– â– , staying in bed half of the day, because being on 3 psych meds. Slacking your life away in front of the computer. Overstimulation with a lot of things. Until the crash comes, 'cause what comes up high falls deep down. Laying in bed like a dead dog. Roll cig and repeat.

Meds and music for me.

Meds have destroyed my positive symptoms. Negative symptoms are much harder to shake for me. I have tried supplements. I am currently seeing if CBT can have an effect on my symptoms.

I have accepted sz.

With meds alone am making a good progress.

I keep my self busy in regards to getting a job.

The more busy I get the better outcome.

Also some relaxing exercise which is bringing my mind and body in sync.

I love challenge and sz is one heck of a challenge.

No matter how good I get, it brings me down to my knee.

If I let it, it becomes much worse.

With meds and some exercise and getting busy is how I fight sz.
