it’s great that you are better than years past. Conversations are hard if all your thoughts are depressing or based around having schizophrenia. You have a life though, if I remember correctly though, like you have a job and hang out with people. Just talk about past experiences and hobbies. I don’t really have a lot of past experiences, I isolate from everyone except for my dad, brother, and sister, and I have no hobbies anymore.
I think it’s a good sign of improvement, you need to be hungry for better things to get better things.

Yep if the the inclination isn’t there the interest wont be either.
Don’t stress the conversation… it’s a bit of cycle…
the only way to get better at conversation is to talk to people… be patient with yourself… and I’m glad your doing well…

I was extremely delusional but very happy as an SZ during the first few months. In fact, I was never happier. Somehow I managed to finally feel like a perfect Christian, then I realized I had to forfeit Christianity b/c it didn’t fit in with my base understanding of God, the universe, or logic.
Since then, I’ve been trying to find ways to feel that deep contentment & happiness again.
i weeped for a full hour today
Dude you even went on vacation with friends like a few weeks ago dont be so hard on yourself.
Do you ever think that in the middle of a conversation, someone said something odd but you cant remember if they actually did or it you just have a faulty memory? Like you -think- they may have just said something odd but you dont explicitly -remember- what they just said?
I ask that because I do that in addition to actually hallucinating, like seeing and hearing people say odd things.
