Schizophrenia is a waste, but recovery is a gain

Do you think??? So???

What do you mean haha. I wish I could go into remission that would be a gain for me

I mean like schizophrenia itself is worthless but the silver lining in it is the recovery can make things amazing imo. Like I know people hated when I said that maybe schizophrenia has advantages. It doesn’t. But recovery does. If that makes sense.

i think my life has improved as my symptoms have improved, before psychosis i spent all my time getting high and even if i didnt end up mentally ill and just continued that things would have not been good, once it started i stopped everything, now i am almost like a normal person now that the voices are much quieter and other symptoms improved

I was an empty vessel for 25 years and now the last 4 I’ve been improving and it’s been amazing how far I’ve come.

I think the real “us” is always buried deep inside of you. Even when you’re hella psychotic, you’re still equal in your soul within everybody else. But sometimes it’s hard to get that real you out of it’s hiding.

Sorta haha I don’t have any positives but I still can’t function socially. I take my recovery for granted some people stay seeing things and are happy when they don’t see things.

I just know that all human souls are equal. So therefore, a schizophrenic soul that is struggling with symptoms and identity and stuff is simply Just at a wrong place. Because I ■■■■■■ myself up soooooo bad with drugs. There was nothing of me left. They say “if you get stuck in an acid trip there’s no coming back”. But I found the right meds combo and I’m all here now just as every other human being on earth. That’s how I know that no matter what you do to your mind, you’re still 1 whole freaking soul!!! Because I damaged myself but came back as I should. I’m just saying we all have the potential inside to be vibrant cognizant creatures it’s just finding the right chemicals for us. I’ve found mine but maybe you just haven’t found yours yet but I have hope one day you will.
