Go back to being 20 with the knowledge and wisdom you have now?
Risking going through whatever psychosis trauma u may have gone through again
.
I would.
I messed up enough to want to risk that.
Maybe I could avoid psyhosis this time.

I dunno in my case.
I’d avoid drugs n alcohol.
Change some stressors.
Think it’s worth it me going back n Risking it personally.
Even if I may have genetic predisposition.

They also prescribed me an ultra high dose of antipsychotics right from the start instead of experimenting with lower doses first.

I would in a heartbeat.
If I knew then what I know now I think I could avoid it all together. Mine was brought on mostly by high stress and my environment I think. There was definitely no genetic component. I don’t have any mental illness in my family. A lot of alcoholics maybe but no sz.

I wouldn’t. Even in Heaven, I wouldn’t wish for a body, since my religion mentions giving the body up to the Lord. I’m hoping something better than the human experience is there, while being able to keep my memories.

I don’t know,
That’s a tuffy.
A lot of the horrible mistakes I made out of ignorance were kind of my salvation in the end,
I’ve had some uncommon experiences.
If I went back, I’d be afraid of not having those.
So, I think no, I wouldn’t go back.

I loved the year I was 20 even though I was ill at that time. Had a hippie boyfriend that time. I’d love to relive that year. But I wouldn’t like to relive all my years after that. So I guess I will just have to let sleeping dogs lie…

No i wouldnt go back. Those negative experiences gave me wisdom later on in life. A bit of pain made me realise whats important. You cant learn unless you make mistakes. And i used to be a right basta!rd.

I had a depressive break at 23. I ended up smoking a lot of weed because that sorted me out more than the prozac. What weed really did was hide my symptoms. I had racing thoughts as long as I could remember and it eventually caught up with me.
Psychosis sucks. I wouldn’t go back because once is enough for anyone and it pains me most still suffer.
So no.

I fantasize about living a life as some other me. One without the religious ideations and delusions that I had. Without the oaths of sacrifice that I did.

Yes I would. I wouldn’t have gotten married or pregnant. I would never have smoked pot. I would never have lost my virginity. I wouldn’t have gotten involved with the occult. I would have gotten confirmed at age 20. I would have joined a religious order shortly thereafter.

I think not. A person can become greedy. I have the sense that I’m becoming who I’m meant to be and that I’m where I’m meant to be. It’s okay to be okay with things.

Nope, not 20. Awful year. I’m in my 20s now but I would find no need to go back to 20. For me drinking or drugs didn’t trigger my symptoms at 16 so I have no regrets. Just wish I was nicer to people before I started going through episodes in highschool.

I’m 43 now and the road from 20 to here was a rough one. I’m not sure that much would change if I went back and did it all again. So I would just stick with being 43 and hope for the best in the future.

I would. I’ve taken out loans for school for stuff I cant even do now. Its putting me in a tough position.
