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

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 itā€™s worth it.

It has enhanced my creativity. But it still isnā€™t worth it.

In a weird way itā€™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. Iā€™m glad that a lot of us can find some good in the hand of cards weā€™ve been dealt. To those of you who canā€™t find anything positive about your illness, I hope you guys have something that makes life awesome despite having SZ! I hate that Iā€™ve neglected my own thread for several hours. Iā€™ve been puking my guts out on and off all night. So much for feeling great and super healthy lol :grimacing:

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