And why do you announce it? Maybe you want people to ask you to stay?

@Om_Sadasiva, my preference is to be a single haredi man, concentrate on observing most commandments
of Jewish law, and maybe play in chess competitions as a hobby.
That’s it, that’s what I would do, if I get better genetic parameters(for example my schizophrenia is completely
eliminated, or my DNA is somehow changed).
That’s it. I have no interest in participating in schizophrenia forum.
If I am here, it is against my will, and I prefer physical proximity to people over “internet proximity”(“Maybe you want people to ask you to stay”)
And you, as a person who had interest in religion and chess before you got ill, may not be so far away from
me in terms of your “soul” and preferences.

Yes, I love chess. At least I used to.
Now I find no enjoyment in it.
My cognitive symptoms don’t allow me to play.
I get that, my schizophrenia limits me in a horrible way.
And how about your interest in Buddhism? Are you able to follow that?
i think you have a lot of experience and you could help a lot of people with your wisdom.

I don’t know if I follow a specific religion or if I am interested in all religions and spiritual movements of the world. I love all religions

@daydreamer , but that’s not the life I would want to lead.
If I get the opportunity, I am going to leave the forum, and switch to something else.
I do not want to be here, I want to live with motivation, with spark in my eyes.

I still don’t know how you survive in this world without meds. I can’t imagine my crazy mind without meds. Good for you. It seems it works for you
like you dont want to associate with schizophrenia in any way, you just want to pretend its not there?
I understand where your’e coming from and I have no hard feelings against you
though we had a little run in, it’s nothing to me.
Will you be okay, without the support? just concerned.

@daydreamer, I am not afraid with being associated with schizophrenia, and I do not pretend I do not have it.
It does horrible damage to me.
However, I am NOT INTERESTED in schizophrenia, I am interested in other things,
like religion, chess, mathematics.
I want to live with motivation, to do things that my motivation to do them is high, but it is not in my hands.
you sound like you are treating it like a hobby lol
its fine chess, you want to leave then thats cool, come back when you want or not at all, do what you want to do

I will quit this thread 
I understand that you don’t want to obsess over having schizophrenia, and I think that’s a good thing. Spend more time on your other interests and have fun with them.

I’ve been limiting my participation in this forum for the past 9 months or so. It seems to help me. I am no longer obsessed with my diagnosis and I am able to focus on getting better, enjoying life etc.
I understand where you are coming from, @Chess24 . Try to meet people in real life if possible. Virtual interaction is artificial and cannot replace a real handshake, a pat on the back or a glass of wine with a true pal. Aim higher! You deserve a better life!
Best

This forum is part of “weekly activities” if not “daily activities”. Just treat it as another cyber place to go while having your day spent with other hobby or routine.
I’m ok thanks! Trying to convince my parents that going on a trip abroad for New Year’s day is neither hazardous nor a sign of failing self awareness. They fear I might be on the brink of a relapse just because I wanna get crazy a little bit. With my own money btw. It’s been 6 and a half months since I’ve started working again and I need a little escape from the sleep-subway-office routine…
