In terms of impact on life/functioning, what would you rate your schizophrenia at on a scale of 1-10?

A 2… Sz is the least of my problems.

I would rate my OCD a 6
My PTSD a 5
My mood situation an 8

I think when I started on this site I was at a 7 or 8. Now I’m down to a 4. Here’s to hoping I continue to recover.

I give Sz a 8…!!!
What about Urs…!!!

Same here, about 8. It’s very crippling. I don’t have comorbidities (depression, anxiety, ocd etc) but schizophrenia itself takes a great toll on me.

Well, it’s 3 normally and 9 when I get symptoms. No half measures.

Depression is a 5.

My Sz I’d rate about a 6
My depression I’d rate about an 8

9

I’d rate it a 3… Still has a major impact on my social functioning and I’m still apt to get very agitated under stress but other than that I enjoy my life.

10

I would give mine a 7.

11

I’d like to say low but really it’s pretty high. It affects my life greatly even if I don’t notice it. I’m capable of overcoming though. Just need to make wiser decisions but my delusions lead to bad decisions.

12

Maybe 2/10. Autism 4/10. Physical health due to sedentary lifestyle, 7/10. SZ is low down on my list of worries.

13

I would say 2 but without meds it would be around a 10. My insomnia is like a 4. I don’t feel tired anymore and it bothers me.

14

She’s a two-bagger. If the first one falls off when you’re…

15

Probably 2. I work and drive and go to the dentist in spite of schizophrenia.

I still have trouble socialising but fake it well enough to get through work.

I have trouble with reading and motivation but I manage to keep the house clean which indicates to me that I am doing a hell of a lot better than I was a little over ten years ago.

I have my troubles but I also have my supports.

16

I’d say my schizophrenia is an 8 generally it’s a 7 when things are better but I think I can get it down to a 6 or even a five. The more I am able to do throughout the day the better and at the moment I am not able to do much. I can wash my own dishes I can shop and manage 15 to 20 min exercise a day. The next step would be to eat properly and loose a tone of weight and drive be able to get license save money and then there will be steps after that. It used to be a 9 to 10 which was really bad homelessness hospitalisation criminal activity and massive amounts of suffering drug abuse and came close to suicide or murder due to delusions.
