I do now.
But sometimes,
When I’m crazy, I think that I just have some sort of supernatural ability and that everyone is trying to keep me drugged so that I can’t find truths.
So,
Yes and no?
Yes if you ask my doctor, right?

Well I am well and I only had one episode although it was for three years so sometimes I don’t accept that I have an incurable life long brain disease.

Yeah I think I do…
But what I feel and think feels very real… It can not be just an imbalance.

I had a few years to accept it, first I was borderline personality disorder with Psychotic NOS. then schizophrenia a few times then schizoaffective disorder when I moved to a small town with a mental health clinic nearby. but the clinic kicked me out after they said I was too complicated of a patient to treat so I go to another clinic in a different town.

I’m struggling with the diagnosis. It’s not a pride thing it’s a logic thing. I’ve been able to record the pulses and vibrations of the voices I hear through an app that measures electronic magnetic fields. It picks up on every word I hear them say. The main voice, the loudest and nastiest one, is the voice of my ex, claiming to be in the CIA’s mind control program and that I deserve to be mentally tortured to death. It sounds so sci-if and far fetched that it embarrasses me to talk about. That being admitted, medications haven’t worked at all and I’m still hearing voices. I realize that Schizophrenia is a complicated and mysterious disease, and how these voices routinely manipulate their victims into other rhelms through intimidation and threats. What I don’t realize, is how tactile evidence can prove the existence of a “hallucination.” So I guess, to answer your question, I’m gonna go with no for now. I think it’s humans being cruel for the sake of confirming some sort of God complex they have. And if I’m wrong, so be it.

It is accepted, but I do not accept what it is said to be.

Acceptance depends on whether I’m taking the meds! Of COURSE I’m not sick when I have to be taken to the hospital in handcuffs, it’s pure persecution. Then enlightenment comes after a week of forced injections…

I’m somewhere in between there. I acknowledge I’m mentally ill, DEFINITELY that I struggle with depression & anxiety, but am a bit skeptical about having sza just because I seem very different from others with this illness. I wonder if my psychosis is just bad anxiety mixed with vivid imagination.

I accept it…but I believe they are keeping me on pills to stop me from seeing what is really happening…hopefully for my benefit and not something sinister…i have some faith it’s for my benefit…but also a niggling feeling that something sinister is going on…i dunno

Yes I accept i have sz but it’s hard to believe sometimes especially when I’m doing well on meds. Then I am scared I’m a fake and wanna come off meds. And when hubby doubts my diagnosis it makes me feel even more confused and unsettled. Sometimes when I have symptoms I feel so relieved I’m not a fake.
Yes but I often wonder if it’s something else
Hell no it’s govornment created mind control. My ex boyfriend told me so and apparently he runs the entire operation. Hah!
I know that I am diagnosed with sza. I think that all my symptoms are mostly controlled. I have only a few cognitive and negative symptoms left. My pdoc would disagree but I’m not him.
