…that normal persons do have setbacks and life has its highs and lows.
So, never expect everything turns out just smooth after recovery.

I don’t really think there’s that light at the end of the tunel, maybe I’m being too dark here, but we never fully recover or go back to normal, it’s a process that takes all of our lives to happen. Psychosis is always present even with meds, just on a very low key.
I’m high functioning and I’m almost symptom free, but not completely, I still deal with negative symptoms and intrusive thoughts and a lot of anxiety. I don’t see that light, only in death.
I’m sorry to be the party pooper… Thats what I think from all I’ve read about the subject of recovery.

No worries, Minnii, you are just being realistic, while I am just being optimistic.

That’s great, keep on with the optimism. I’m usually really optimistic but had a rough couple of weeks, I’m a bit more pessimistic now… It will pass

I’m functional…
Most the time… I can get through my day
Most the time people understand what I’m trying to say
I don’t see myself as ever fully recovering… I can’t un-see what I’ve seen and un-think what I’ve thought… or un-do what I have done…
but bouncing back from a problem a little faster then I used to would make me very grateful.

My mom often says that if i take enough med i would recover and excel again. Sounds like i would walk away from schizophrenia forever and get my old self back. From what i know about the med and my sz, i dont think the med is helping me with anything. I just dont have a choice not to take them. It doesn’t seem to me I’ll get a lot better than I’m now.
