I was on a hearing (right word?) about sz. I recognized so much that was like me. Not the same delusions as her but the way of thinking! Being paranoid, not trusting anyone, false beliefs.
AND the ability to pull togeather and keep a poker face when people aren’t supposed to know my secret.
She also talked about recovery. It is possible to recover but it does not take baby steps straight up. There are krasches, twists and turns on the path to recovery. In other words, don’t give up when life is hard, it will turn better again.
