This is a list of Common sz traits, do you have any of these? please pick as many as you like, thought it would be nice to compare our symptoms and maybe talk about variations in our illnesses.

you can talk about it if you want 
I get anxiety and side effects from meds,
Its basically just when i over exert myself (which doesnt take a lot) i get very tense and my chest gets tight and i get really bad chest pains and it kind of floors me,
My side effects from meds isn’t that bad but it can be a little dangerous if i am driving and i get tired but i am careful enough to be a safe driver. my eyes get a little more sensitive to light as well.
i voted as if i was not on meds, because on meds i mostly just have anxiety and some other non sz related stuff. medication actually helped my negative and cognitive symptoms, weirdly enough since it doesnt seem to do that for most
I consider myself recovered but, I still get positive symptoms although they are minor. I have negative symptoms of hygiene and cleanliness. I get anxious at times although It is now infrequent. My cognitive symptoms of forgetfulness is pretty bad and I can’t drive a car anymore because my judgement is so bad nowadays. I’m not in the least depressed anymore and have not been for many years now.
As a little kid I got full auditory and visual hallucinations, the visual ones were very vivid and fantastical things, the auditory was voices and music. As I got older I started getting the auditory less and less then I pretty much stopped getting it entirely. I now only get them like during sleep paralysis or if I’m half asleep so they aren’t really psychosis related. My voices now are all “telepathic” ie thought insertion. I’d started getting those when I was like 8 or 9, which weirdly is when I started to stop getting full auditory stuff. As I got older my visual hallucinations also went away and then randomly came back when I was 15 except they were different and way more trippy, like I’ve heard people describe LSD trips and that’s basically what it was except I wasn’t on drugs…swirling bright colors and swirling swelling floors and objects and melting walls. Then when I got into college I started seeing even more stuff like people and animals that would vanish or things disappearing that really existed or peoples faces or bodies distorting. Just keeps getting weirder really. Also I started getting tactile hallucinations at like 15 or 16 which were awful, feeling like I was being touched and even sexually and physically abused. I hate any kind of physical touch now because of those hallucinations 
I started getting delusions by age 5 and that never really changed. I don’t have any negative or cognitive symptoms. I thought I did, but it turned out to be undiagnosed narcolepsy. Once I started treating my narcolepsy I no longer had any of those symptoms.
I do have serious mood issues. I suffer from chaotic mood swings and serious chronic depression if off medication, as well as anxiety. I started getting depressive episodes at 10/11. I have ptsd from the stuff I experienced while psychotic but that is actually doing really well now which I’m happy about. The mood swings and anxiety I didn’t develop until after I got ptsd so I think it may be all part of it rather than separate things. That’s about it!
An inflated sense of insignificance.
Positives, negatives, Cognitive, no anxiety…
Lot of cognitive negative and anxiety…!!! Holy cow…!!!
Mostly On going delusions based around Christianity, Satan, demons. All that good stuff, as well as one single voice. Also have movement disorder which has tics of my face & sometimes full body.
Mostly racing thoughts and anxiety plus wired comportament. Rispen takes care of the rest
Just depression is the worst.
A few minor positives, a few persistent negatives, and mild cognitives, On the mood side, I have difficulty staying asleep for a full 9 hours at night. But other than that, my mood is euthymic.
I get very anxious and very restless from time to time but that’s about it from what I know.
Occasionally voices or intrusive thoughts
Depression and sometimes mood swings
Agitation
Lack of motivation
Anxiety
But mostly ok with the help of my meds
My symptoms are that I believe it is legal to ask for sex but crisis team detains me if I try to establish the right. I guess you need to check the US constitution freedom of speech legislation to sort it out on here,
I’d say it’s just side effects
