I cure myself,and change my personality even better,why not?

3

My personality has already changed. I’m a different person to the one that was diagnosed. I’d have no hesitation changing some more if I was to be cured!

4

Absolutely not. I was born with this mind. I don’t know who I would be if I was “cured” of being me.

No way, Abilify improved my negative symptoms but made my personality worse, addiction and hypersexuality issues.

changing my personality in what way?

If i was to change for the better then i would do it bc this is what i have been trying to do for years, i always try to improve myself and the way i act, over the years i have developed and matured and found myself again you could say, i try to be funny and humorous a lot more now too, my faith has strengthened my personality and i feel i am a much stronger person now.

Not sure lol, I like myself some days

I don’t have to change my personality to fix this. I love my bitchy inner narrative. Very freeing.

10

Don’t have much of a personality to change.

“Personality” raises similar questions to those arising from personal identity, so “no” is more likely to win. Good question goldenrex.

12

Yes. I miss my blissful ignorance days. I wish I was a normal human who would get married, have kids and be like another human.

14

Yes. Were do I sign?

15

I wouldn’t do it if it makes me a criminal, a promiscuous person, hypersexual, impolite or disorganized and irresponsible.

16

No way. My personality is who I am. My interests, humor, and appearance are all because of my personality. If my personality changed, I probably wouldn’t be compatible with my husband anymore.

I’ll pass on a cure if it means I have to change what makes me, me.

I want to feel better but I do not want to change who I am … I like who I am … But i jsut don’t want this pain… I don’t want this anxiety

18

No, I accept myself the way I am and am content with my lot. Sza is part of me and it’s taught me a lot and without it I wouldn’t be who I am today.

19

Never again. My one med made me something I wasn’t and I hated it.

20

Can I ask why you said this @GoldenRex? I Inadvertently sacrificed a massive part of myself when I stopped hearing voices.

cant change something that doesnt exist, sounds like an okay deal to me
