I’ve been pretty stable for well over a decade without major episodes. I take my medicine religiously and I’m proactive with my health but I still have bad days and periods of breakthrough symptoms.
I don’t live a normal life but I enjoy it and live as large as I can. In those terms…I’m pretty close I’d say!

But I mean, you’re taking antipsychotics right? When someone says remission I think of no symptoms no meds.
Can you really say this is a true remission?
its always there. functioning. can’t work

My paranoia is better. Delusions better too I think ( then again how could I be sure lol)
I am happy that the auditory and visual hallucinations stopped many years ago after I started Risperdal. Now about the only auditory hallucination I get in a crowded store is hearing my wifes voice say “hey hon” when she isnt there which isn’t so bad.
Disorganized speech happens especially when i am anxious and my body language is pretty screwed up but that may be more from Aspergers if I ever pay to get diagnosed.
I get depression and suicidal ideations somewhat frequently. I don’t make plans though.
My negative symptoms arent too bad but my bipolar symptoms are a bit annoying since i will be full throttle for a couple days and then crash for awhile afterwards.
My BMI is about 30 but I dont think I look too obese.
My mom had sz really bad and was bedridden and then dead before she reached my age so I mostly feel fortunate.
I havent been in the hospital in a couple years and the last time it was mostly just physical exhaustion.
I think stigma is really hard sometimes and i feel like a misfit in a lot of organizations. I am glad I attend an Aspie support group and cautiously started going back to my old church. Most of my local friends are mentally ill too so I seem to connect best with them.
