I congratulate you! Your testimony gives a lot of hope. How do you feel about negative symptoms? for example hygiene and personal care?
As previously mentioned, I am relatively new to the human experience. Initially, I had an aversion to reading, but I recognize that this is a common trait among individuals. However, I have noticed a significant improvement in my ability to focus. For instance, I can now spend extended periods in the kitchen, meticulously following complex recipes without losing attention. This newfound focus has become quite enjoyable for me.
Embarrassingly, there was a time when I struggled with basic hygiene tasks. I would become irate when my relatives insisted I take a shower. At that point, I didnāt fully comprehend the concept of cleanliness, and tasks like brushing my teeth or doing laundry seemed insurmountable. Fortunately, things have changed. Today, I can effortlessly manage these everyday activities. Reflecting on my past, I recall when I became a mother approximately 15 years ago. Seeking psychological guidance, I meticulously documented each taskāfrom early morning routines to evening responsibilities. Over the years, I adhered to these guidelines diligently. Now, I can look back and smile, realizing that what once felt overwhelming has become second nature. Itās a stark contrast to those who havenāt experienced the challenges I faced over the decades.
