I only miss being non schizophrenia. Being young didn’t have the wisdoms and awareness my adulthood has had so I don’t miss it as much - less problematic when you’re wiser or more aware

Thats interesting man..for me its seems the more aware I am the more complicated the world is.

I can see that as also true, because you have the perspectives we used to be ignorant about (problems outside our immediate) - like they say “ignorance is bliss”

Yea..but i guess its true awareness helps too. I guess I wouldn’t make the same mistakes at this age. I wonder what normies think. I know at least apart of it had to do with sz in my 30s probably warp my view of life in your thirties…

I often find myself assuming normies don’t struggle mentally as much as I do, with that comparison I go kinder on myself - it affords me that because they aren’t enduring the same as me.

The older you are when onset happen of the illness - the harder it is to adapt to the illness. So I can understand

Onset from me was in my early 20s, ten years later - I feel a lot more adapted now

I never got my youth thanks to schizophrenia. Got sick at 15, and the meds took all my youthfulness out of me.

I enjoyed my teen years for the most part. Early 20s and on were just bad. I never would’ve thought my life would go to hell.

Teen years sucked, I was drunk most of my 20’s but besides the one bad year last year my 30’s have been good. I don’t miss being in my 20’s. It was awful.

The only thing I miss about being young is the sex. I worked myself to death when I was younger. I wouldn’t recommend it.
