I’ll take my own apartment, a pretty nice car, a part-time job. Oh yeah, and a little thing I like to call “freedom”.
I think I can live without Bubba, the overly friendly cellmate and having to publicly crap for 5-11 years.

I don’t think you want to go to prison. You want a set schedule. try to write one out, like a checklist. set alarms and schedule your meal and snack times. if you live with someone, ask them to hold you accountable. I know it’s hard, but committing a crime and losing your freedom and future is not the answer.
I think I’d take prison for the short term if it cured my Schizophrenia. Prison is for a set length of time. Schizophrenia is the gift that keeps on giving.
I dunno about Life in prison though. Thats a bit much for an exchange.
Funny thing I keeps saying the same thing to myself.
Although I don’t know how’d I do if I found myself without internet.
In prisons people are forced to do daily things on time, do work, exercise etc. In that sense yes prison is good if find it difficult to do daily activities and stick with schedule etc. Freedom is a nice thing but it gets bad if use the same freedom for remaining lazy, not function etc.

I used to grieve and dwell on the fact that I have schizophrenia…it doesn’t have to be that way…now I found the right med combo and I am happier than I ever have been…it can work for you too…

Aziz are you struggling with diet? I would ask the doctor if there’s an AP fit for you that might help you reduce your weight.
I’m not as fit as I was before I started, but I lost some weight, and now its on me to diet and exercise. Unfortunately I only really took to swimming and the only place that has a pool open is public so Covid threw a wrench in that, and now this summer is pretty much a wash.
I’m hoping to get started back up next year. I wish I could walk but these darn knees just don’t like it, and it takes me most of the week to feel like doing a short walk.
I hope you realize that you still have freedom even if its more limited, and the internet isn’t something you get in prison.
I’ve always been a homebody and glued to my computer so really the only difference now is I’m kind of limited by a physical injury.
I prefer sz. Prison is so depressing

I have thought about going to prison. I’d rather live with my parents. I may not have complete freedom but being locked up for a long time would suck. I was ready to leave the hospital after 30 days! I couldn’t imagine life in prison.
I can imagine life with schizophrenia. Kinda sucks!

I prefer the prison in our country over psychosis. I have been there for volunteering and everything was so much better than the wards here. Better facilities, cleaner/more luxury, more freedom, more time outside, etc. Also, in there without psychosis my mind would be free, whereas with psychosis my mind is an inner prison, unfree.
If you want to exercise though…just do it. Is there someone who can help you set a structure?

I don’t like prison food and it feels scary in there. I’d probably go psychotic anyway, being in prison. Lol.

My psychiatrist doesn’t want to change it anymore, he said all meds will stop working if I keep changing them. Risperdal was best out of Latuda, Abilify and Zyprexa.
point point no signal.
It would but it wouldn’t…
Why who’s asking?
Not that you’ve been there. But anyway. Well you can and you can’t…whattaya mean?
I love this phrase. Because if you think about it. No matter who we are or are background or origin. All of us at one time or another. Stayed inside.
I wonder why are minds can’t do that…but only prison?
Sometimes I feel desperate and make posts like this, the next day I see the thread I am like I wrote this??

Not really understanding what you mean.
Uh, at least as a schizophrenic I don’t have to worry about dropping the soap in the shower.
