Leaving the country won’t change your voices. It’ll be stressful to move and find employment etc and most likely they’ll get worse

Wherever you go there they will be. Dont waste your money or stress yourself out by moving to a different country

Do you have job lined up? Stress will wear you out otherwise.

My voices are the same regardless of what country I am in or what part of my own country I am in. I don’t think you’re going to get the change you’re hoping for here if you move. If you do move, move for reasons other than your SZ symptoms.

My symptoms followed me when I moved from the U.S. to Canada. I was in remission at the time I applied for immigration as a sponsored spouse, so it wasn’t an issue. But three years later I was back on meds and symptomatic.
It’s very stressful moving to a new country. I couldn’t work or drive for a year and a half while I waited for my spouse visa to be processed, which helped my mental health and likely was the reason I went for three years in remission after moving. But I drained a lot of savings contributing to the household expenses and there was a lot of financial stress.
You’d think just moving within North America would be easier, but I had to start over. My credit history didn’t come with me across the border, and I went from several platinum credit cards to not being to get a $500 limit. I had to add my name to my husband’s accounts as an additional user until I built up an employment and income history of my own, which took years. You will not qualify for a loan that way, so make sure you bring enough funds!
Employers didn’t want to look at my resume because I had no Canadian work history. I got around that by working at universities and colleges, as they think globally and were more openminded.
But it was a huge adjustment practically speaking, in addition to the usual pressures of moving to a place that’s new - navigating buses, learning the streets and locations of places, etc.
You also have to consider health care and whether you would be in a visa category that allows you access to it. The Canadian health care system may be “free” (tax supported) but there is a huge shortage of doctors with many people not even having a primary care physician, and the waiting lists to see specialists, get imagery done, and get surgery can be huge. It took me 18 months to get an MRI when I lived there.
I don’t regret the nine years I spent in Canada at all, but I won’t lie and say a lot of things weren’t hard. I wouldn’t do it now, with my current state of mental health. Your voices and other symptoms will follow you there, I promise you. Think hard and more than twice.

I am someone who has lived in a different country both before, and after coming down with sz.
Speaking a foreign language is tough. Living among people of a different culture can be tough too.
Voices won’t magically disappear if you move abroad. Most likely, they will get worse due to stress. Paranoia will increase too, especially if you mess with your treatment even a tiny bit. There is also a risk of depression because you will be alone.
I don’t want to discourage you. I am just talking from personal experience.

Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. Myself had a strong intuition to move. I am sure i would have regret not to make the move. The people in the new country give me hell to make me go back. It won’t be easy but its worth it.
The medical care will be different. Foreign countries, foreign customs. It will be nothing like you see and read in books and movies. You will be a stranger for the rest of your life. The pavement you will walk on is nothing like you can imagine.
- When you go, go all the way or don’t even start, there won’t be much light, but enough to beat the darkness. The gods are waiting to delight in you.
