Id put myself at about 40%, which is back on meds and much better than I was doing this time last year.

It fluctuates

Right now I am doing ok, but the meds are still giving me side effects

At least with Amisulpride you are not conscious of high prolactin and QTC prolongation!

Same with me. I voted 60% as a result.

I’m recovered enough to be off APs, with minimum positives. Take ADs for the negatives.

Have been in a deep depression lately and seeing my therapist more.

Still said I’m at 80% because I can handle the breakthrough symptoms and am functional.

I said only 80% because although I have no positives, no mood symptoms, my negatives aren’t too bad and neither are my cognitives, I am on a million, (four), AP’s and an AD.

I am currently trying to cut down on the amount of AP’s with my pdoc.

i said lower because i can’t live a normal life. I am inside the house most days and can’t go out by myself. Can’t take the bus and stuff…

I’d hve to say 80%, tops. Still have some positives and the negatives feel unchanged over most of the years. I have learned to function exceptionally well on a low dose of APs and to hide most of my mental illness from the people I work with and interact with daily.

I voted 80%. I’ve said on here before I was recovered but I still can’t shower every day and I have some thoughts that might be delusions. I had a delusion last year but it didn’t happen so I don’t believe it anymore.

I said 80% here. I am also taking anti depressant to help negative symptoms which were bad a few years ago

Recovery is about putting effort i though too. I didn’t just go from sitting on my ass alone all day doing nothing or having w family a dog tropical fish to take care of. As well as myself going to the gym.

I had to take one step at a time. Stick on my medication and psychology also helped.

I put 60% because I’m doing ok but still have some problems here and there and am on a lot of meds to keep well

I can’t really put a percentage on it. I am pretty much 100% recovered from positives but I have negatives.

I put 60% because I still hear voices and take ADs and APs.

On the other hand, I can go alone for walks, read, do shopping, live alone, socialize,…

I’d say 80% because my moods are not completely stable and I suffer from a significant amount of negative and cognitive symptoms.

I don’t know because I started having trouble at a young age and have been psychotic for more than half of my life. If I didn’t have a high achieving twin I may have a better idea as I often compared myself to him rather than evaluating myself on an individual basis. The first time I compared myself to my twin was in the first grade. When his report card was better than mine he got to have his own room, and I had to share one with my younger brother. So I already had an inferiority complex. So almost from the beginning of my life I was looking down on myself so recovery is hard to define.

i think i’m 77% but sometimes it dips and is not the same every day.
