Hi I know recovery is a variable term.
i’ll define it as when a persons sympthoms cease to be disabling and they can get on with their life as they see fit.
if your not at full recovery , what do you feel needs to be done to get that improvement you need , to get there.
Hello,@meteor,I will rate mine as 7.i had got most of the thing in life right,I had got a job which I had been holding for 7 years,i had most of my symptoms control,I dont face positive symptoms only a little negative symptoms but I think I am still quite socially dysfunction,my psychiatrist say I had social phobia and I might need more social involvement and psychotheraphy to overcome it…I think I also need to continue my daily routine inorder to have more improvement…I don’t want to miss my routine because of reason like laziness or excuses…
I’d give myself a 5. I’m functioning well. I drive car and I can go shopping for groceries. Yesterday I’ve gone fishing with my brother in law…I’m still stuck with negative symptoms and gets easily triggered into paranoia so I won’t be able to work full time at the moment. Maybe in a few years from now things will change for the better.
I’d say a 4-5. I live independently albeit not at a particularly high level. Not acutely ill but several chronic/enduring problems. I think I would do better if there was more holistic help available.
I would like to correct my rating,maybe I thought I have done very well but have got to be realistic and accurate,I give myself a 6,I am content
a 10, but if I do ten too intensively it drops to a 4.5 for a bit
il give myself 8, im starting to work 1 day a week. just stopped taking olanzapine and i feel much better, im Learning wery fast now.
It’s a moving target, is what it is. Not feeling so close to it this week.
10-96
The term “full recovery” scared me. I give myself a 5. I am half way there. Like Gtx, it is important to me that I keep my routine. No big changes or surprises. Don’t want anything to rock my boat.
Keeping busy
Getting out doing things
6 or 7. Feeling like I’m more environmentally friendly.
I give myself 6, I work full time with social interactions with family and fellow employees. I will be able to review my rating once I receive my appraisal and know for sure what management thinks of me. Only then with their consent may I increase that to 7 or 8… Rating 9 and 10 is impossible I think.
Are you able to interact well with your family members and colleague?I ask because I kind of struggle with interacting,I mostly keep quiet but when I post online or messages to people I had no problem typing out my thought
i had episodes of psychosis in between them i am mostly fine no syptoms, feeling great every day, so 8-9
probably about halfway, about 5, because I still struggle with stressful situations like publisher’s deadlines, but able to stick to house chore routines and socially about 5 too because I still don’t like too much people around me. Probably just my personality, though - I’m a loner! At the moment my meds are keeping me stable, but a little too much stress and the voices and agitated thoughts return.
it isn’t easy. Tell me to work straight 16 hours is less demanding than 1 hour with a family member but to be succesful at work and a failure in society in my eyes is not success so I enforce my self to interact and most of the time I use sense of humor and try to relax. They see us as strugglers and they don’t require from us to be very talkative. Just the normal us. It works for me and if it does for one it does for all but effort is required.
Fluctuates to much.
10 being a normal person i would say i was an
8 or 9 maybe,
i’d like to think i was about a nine but probably a bit less
i still have to get a job and start a family, pay my own bills and get a proper driving license
I’d say an 8 most times. sometimes ebbs of 6 or 7. depends on the day. I feel very happy today so I’m giving a 9 today.
Don’t be so modest! You function at at least 8/10 buddy.
I give myself an 8.5. I’m 85% of who I used to be.
My doctors give me a 9 or even 10 I would imagine. I am my own worst critic according to my therapist.
