I try my hardest to forget I have it. Im pretty stable on Clozapine though, so I dont think about it that much.
Are you thinking about SZ/SZA constantly, or do you sometimes forget you have it and enjoy life?

I forget I have it,today I’m not enjoying life, but still not dwelling on my diagnosis.

I do think about it daily, and it does effect the decisions I make in regards to the amount of stress I put myself under, but otherwise no it doesn’t effect me.

My life is centered around it unfortunately.

It’s on my mind constantly, I have to double check every thought, every voice I have to ignore, every odd coincidence. My life revolves around it
Finally found a medication that works, so maybe someday it will become just an afterthought.
But for now, I think that’s ok, I’m still fighting it, sometimes winning now a days, and I’m getting happier. I think that’s important.
But I’m also crazy,

No, my life revolves around the sunburn I have on my shoulders.

Beeing on this site and a swedish counterpart I get reminded. Perhaps it would be better to not check in.

Mine is centered around my family, my work, and my hobbies (amateur broadcasting and photography). I honestly don’t even feel like I have SZ right now thanks to my Geodon/Amlyobann/Sarcosine regime. Haven’t for months. It’s more a case of me wanting to make sure there are some positive examples of recovery kicking around for the newly diagnosed. I had none to look to when I was first DXed and that was horrible. People need hope that things can get better and that their lives DON’T have to be centered around SZ.

My life is all about it. I hate that it is. See the pdoc today, finally. Hopefully a med change will change that.

My life is very centered around my mental illness and mental health. Its given me purpose. I want to advocate for others with mental health issues.
I think about the depression part of my sza than I do the schizo part. Anxiety is what it is, but the depression is vial.

I’m doing really well on my current meds, so I don’t think about it very often.

It’s difficult not to think about schizophrenia when you’re hearing voices all the time.

It’s seems to be based around feeling insane or off all the time. I’m hearing voices and having intrusive thoughts and am isolated in my apt forever and on disability. I don’t always call it sza though since I believe it’s not just sza, it’s lots of things that have me feeling off, such as the life or lack of life that I feel I have lived or not believing in myself and alternate realities. But, I guess much of my life has been centered around ending up in the psych ward, seeing pdocs, being on disability, feeling abnormal so you could say it is.
…basically the War is centered around ‘my mind, my rules’ I strive to choose what to think and when to think it, needless to say, the voices don’t agree…
I think about it maybe half the time but it may be better if I were working and less anxious. I’m trying to come on here less and do other stuff more. Maybe I’ll start reading on the bus instead of going online soon. I need to live my normal life more!
