Which ones are worse for you?
My positive symptoms are extremely terrible but my negative symptoms are minor.
I shower everyday brush my teeth twice per day.
Just my speech is a little bit bad…

positives don’t bother me. negatives ruin my life…
Positive symptoms can hijack my entire consciousness. Negative symptoms just suck

At the moment I have negative symptoms but no longer positive ones, so my answer would be negative symptoms. Although the psychiatrist does think I have some delusional thinking still
definitely the positive, I had a hard time dealing with the mind readers invading my privacy, I was in a argument with all my voices all the time

My positive symptoms are short lived so they are agitating but get over them like storms passing by. Worse off meds though.
But my negative symptoms are worse I’d say bcuz some of them like lack of motivation last long so I’d say my negative symptoms are more disabling.

They’re both bad I guess.

Mostly dealing with pain in my head, which is kind of a positive symptom, but isn’t normally associated with schizohprenia. I have voices, but they don’t disrupt my life much, and the only reason I don’t go out much is because my head hurts so darned much around noises.
I brush daily and take a bath every other day, so my hygiene isn’t horrible.
Don’t painkillers help?
negative symptoms are more disabling. that’s true…

Negative symptoms for me are the worst. At least for the most part I can talk myself out of my hallucinations. I also grew up in a spiritual family so seeing or hearing things never scares me. But not being able to shower? Brush your teeth? Get out of bed? Have anything in life you truly are interested in hobbie wise? Hell. Especially since I can no longer socially interact with others. People know something’s up. I can’t make proper facial expressions, can’t ever react properly. That’s the worst

I remember on 20 mg of Abilify I would chain smoke 8 cigarettes, sometimes lighting the filter by accident, and staring at the grass, trying to tell if anything was real. Didn’t think the houses across the street were real. I remember the grass looking holographic. I remember not feeling or sensing anything. The cigarette smoke tasted like air.
I mostly have positive symptoms,
Negatives are just not enough to be a problem.
They’re a complete distraction,
I feel like a total space cadet half the time, just staring in the distance, looking confused,
At the same time, I’m terrified of going to the doctor next week and medicating them away.

My positive symptoms are delusions which are very minor.
Other than that I have the obsessive negative intrusive thoughts which have ruined and sucked life out of me.
The negative symptoms are manageable but they fluctuate, seems these supplements are helping.

Painkillers help somewhat, but it’s like bringing the pain down from a 9 to an 8 or a 7. Still too high to be comfortable.
