Is there anything you guys actually find positive about having SZ

All good things! It sounds like your SZ gave you an opportunity to adopt a healthier lifestyle too

I see no positive…life’s a bitxh without mi…life’s a bitxh with a grudge a brick and good aim when you add sz to the mix…

I completely agree with you.

I don’t get bored as easily.

Good for you for having abs!

On medication I’m all flab.

I quit drinking I guess. But I used to have fun and socialize when I drank. Sometimes I miss it but it’s not fun anymore so I don’t do it.

Thanks! I do ten minutes of core training every other day :slight_smile:

yes I feel like I’m Phereo where God made his life suck so hard that he became a better person

I have a vision for spiritual things that is more real to me than the physical world. That separates me from other people, but I believe it’s worth it.

It has enhanced my creativity. But it still isn’t worth it.

In a weird way it’s kinda nice to be able to take it easy in life and not have to participate in the rat race of job, family, and all the other BS that goes along with it.

I agree with this.

The sza may have enhanced my creativity. Although I know that the meds have detracted from my creativity.

Certainly. I was a much better song writer when I was psychotic and I SOOO resent throwing out all my old lyrics last month. ā– ā– ā– ā–  me.

I always love hearing from you guys. Your experiences are all so different even though we all have the same or similar disorders. I’m glad that a lot of us can find some good in the hand of cards we’ve been dealt. To those of you who can’t find anything positive about your illness, I hope you guys have something that makes life awesome despite having SZ! I hate that I’ve neglected my own thread for several hours. I’ve been puking my guts out on and off all night. So much for feeling great and super healthy lol :grimacing:

Having Sz motivated me to optimise my physical health.

I met you didn’t I?

I think sz taught me empathy and sensitivity, caring for others and generally being a better person not in terms of productivity I can’t work full time now but a better person in society… I volunteer more and it taught me to keep secrets hehe cause in my culture the stereotype on mental illness is the worse !

I struggle to think of any positives to be honest :confused:

Positive symptoms aren’t that positive :sunny:
