Hi people! I am not here those days but I have my own problems. I stopped going out but whatever, it still happens :).
Otherwise, I saw some normal thing in my state today. So I guess I am on the right way… But its after a year straight on Zyprexa and Depakote. And it will take still some time… So finally, my recovery took years. Ok, I was switching meds before which didn’t help me in the past so since a year I stay on Zyprexa but it takes years in my case to be saner wow… It still gets bad when I look at my past and all those years. Do you know somebody else for who it took years to regain his life? And for you, how long it took too, even if it was faster please?
Hugs people, I pay efforts too I should say :).

i’m still recovering and it is taking forever it seems. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder with psychotic NOS but that was just at first after that it has switched and forth from schizophrenia to schizoaffective disorder back to schizophrenia. I find the name of the disease doesn’t matter but the time you put into your recovery does.

It takes 12 years (and still counting) for me to regain life. I am good but not better.
I think that if I will be able to function well in several years that’s a DREAM!
I am not sure if I am EVER going to recover from this.
If you offer me now that at age 50 I start functioning well(and before that continue poorly)
I take it hands down!( age 50 means waiting for 26 years).

Truthfully, I don’t feel very schizophrenic these days and a therapist told me she had not been discussing symptoms of schizophrenia with me though she had worked with me for many months. She was dealing with PTSD and anxiety, alone. I don’t quite know how I feel about that. It’s true that my symptoms are minimal and have been for quite a while. My anxiety is diagnosed separately and it is off the charts but psychotic symptoms and the like are almost a non-issue. They are not 100% gone but they don’t affect me a whole lot.
In recovery. Not where I was before I became ill. Propably never will. Cognitive problems are the worst. I don’t get jokes anymore…or maybe yet. It might come back. I got meds in 2011. I had been ill for over 2 years.
Me too i have bad cognitive problems but i have sz friends who got better even on this to the point of feeling really ok… this evening i was paranoid alone at home. Is this my meds or its the illness, i just wonder? Thanks to all for your answers. me, ill have to wait more to get better… i am sick since too many years… i even think that i was always ill. Is it possible? Ayk… but i start to get old and its sad for me to imagine the same life which i had until now…
I’ve been dealing with intense moments of mental instability for a little over a year now and I hate it. My mood is off, I have delusions, visual hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, and a serious lack of motivation. I’m barely functioning in school and don’t know if I’ll pass this semester.
I don’t feel even I can recovery my life, so I’m so glad for you!
