Lack of insight and schizophrenia

Anyone else deal with this, definitely with delusions. I used to have this all the time without meds. I keep getting delusions where I would lose insight into them. Anyway, if you had this how did you get out of it? And at what point did you gain insight into your illness?

Off meds I lose insight really quickly. It’s the most dangerous part of the disease for me.

Initially, I thought I had schizophrenia right away but then lost touch and lost insight. I thought it was aspergers lol. Then a couple years back i realized i do have it. I have memories/delusions from parallel universe of government telling me I have schizophrenia and to take my meds. It was so powerful that it has given me insight, helped me, and got rid of the anosognosia. I now believe I need meds and take them every day. Every once and a while I want to quit, but I feel much better on vraylar. I got tired of the memory loss and cognitive decline off meds. Even though I’m less creative and slower, it seems to stop the progression.
