As a schizophrenic, I find thoughts in my head that don’t feel like my own thoughts. It feels like conversations with people other than me. I am on medication, but sometimes I still struggle with symptoms, and the meds can bring a really bad experience of lack of motivation, feelings, and love for life. I wonder what your thoughts are on this illness?
I was diagnosed by a psychologist who claims that it is probably related to marijuana, and it triggered somewhere in my 20s. I have been on meds for around 20 years.

Could be, drugs is a common trigger than can cause irreversible changes to the brain.
I have the symptoms you describe too, lack of motivation, my spark in life is low, that’s just how it is with the medication.
Sorry to hear you still have positive symptoms. Hope you have a way of coping.

I could say I have recovered but not to an extent for complete recovery. But I could say I have got better.
I can’t even imagine what a wrong thinking causes and impacts. I am scared to go back to wrong thoughts.
Only thing is meds and good thinking is all I need.
Plus company is a must just to talk. The shocking truth I feel is idle mind is really a laboratory for evil works.

20 years on meds is insane. I don’t think meds work.
