Before I got schizophrenia my life was relatively comfortable.
Now I lost the comfort and my life is very difficult.
Now an easy and comfortable life is just a distant dream.

You have to make yourself happy with what’s left otherwise it will be even worse.

@oe1489 I won’t lose much if I die.
You are more real now. Nobody said life is easy. I’ll bet when you were comfortable, it was not a forever promise about everything.

Life is not always comfortable. Going out of your comfort zone is where you can grow

Chess24 seems to extol the virtues of recovering without meds, using techniques such as wearing wide-brimmed hats.
Goodness, if I could have recovered without medication, I think that would have been preferable. We try to work with what we’ve got, though.

What’s up @Chess24 ?
You have been more upbeat recently
Before I felt my thoughts weren’t being watched my life was much better but now I am being harassed and I don’t know why.
I am really depressed sometimes and wish I am not on tv. I hope I will live a long life and be left alone from the voices.

I can relate but I think you can still live a happy life even with schizophrenia.

I couldn’t even clean myself properly after toileting at first. Who in their right mind (or less so in my case) would be content with that? Might as well aim high.
I meant of what’s left once you’re stable and that there is no room for improvement anymore.
Look, objects attacked me pretty aggressively today.
Overall though I believe that I’m on the right track long term.

I’ll let you know when I hit that wall. Hasn’t happened yet in close to thirty years.

if you accept that you cannot improve then that is true. If you do not accept that, and know that you can improve then you will.

Its easier said than done. Its a medical problem and not a psychological one. I wasn’t like that before. I worked very hard before.

I know. but you gotta hold on to the hope, be stubborn as heck and keep looking for ways to get better. If you give that up you will forever spend your life in bed.
Its tough man but I actually think you could improve.
