Moving on from schizophrenic diagnoses

I have been diagnoses as schizophrenic and have had four psychtic episodes. I am currently well and being slowly tappered off meds for the next two years. I want to move on from my diagnoses but it plays on my mind a lot. ANY advice or tips?

four is a lot. I have already been knocked out of the field after one psychosis. Well, good luck

do you find yourself dwelling on it?

Sorry, im from holland and don’t know what dwelling means.
Could you formulate your question differently?

Thinking about it a lot?

yes, it has been longer than 3.5 years ago. But I still think about it every day. I just work again and sometimes go out. But in some way I can not process it.

Yeah me as well. I think about it every day to. How are you feeling now?

yes, pretty reasonable. I look a bit against it. Find a woman, keep up with work, get a driving license and do nice things. But you will also have that after four psychoses?

I’ve had 4 psycotic episodes but I’m fine now.

Try to get back into school/work and reconstruct a social life, if psychosis is history you should be able to do it…

If you’ve been diagnosed schizophrenic and have had 4 psychotic episodes what makes you think you don’t need anti psychotic meds ?

Because all my psychotic episodes were cannabis induced. My psychaiatrist thinks I’ll be fine if I stay off drugs.
