Negative symptoms

It’s amazing how much I’ve overcome so many episodes and obstacles yet I’m alive and for the most part happy life can be a ■■■■■ but life can be great I’ve learned that if you work through the rough patches life can get a lot better and I’m talking from experience

You know, before sz I wasn’t completely normal, I had social anxiety and slight paranoia and anger issues. Not now on meds. I am even more normal than some normies I know.

@Aziz i was just joking. I think you must still struggle a lot if you have negative symptoms. Keep strong and fight the fight

I feel weak, fighting the illness, asking for confirmation that what I’m experiencing is what’s really going on is embarrassing but necessary, I hate it
