I am cure oriented.
I believe that the forum should be cure oriented,
and I will keep opening topics on cure every day/bumping topics about cure.
Please only discuss a cure in this topic, and email and talk to anyone you can
demanding a cure for schizophrenia.

Good luck to you.
“Big Pharma” won’t let that happen.
Maybe with certain illnesses, but not this one.
There are plenty of disabled people not obssessing over cures. It is as it is and will be as it will be. I’m always hoping for treatment for negative symptoms like they have for positive symptoms so i feel ya tho.
There is nothing more disabling then losing your mind.
I’ve given this a lot of thought. It is nearly impossible to be happy without your mind
looking for a cure is like looking for a way out of a imaginary prison,
Doesn’t work.
My philosophy is to love and respect your “own prison”,
I go as far as to metaphorically be loyalty to it.
Maybe then bars will just be bars and walls will just be walls.
Sounds like a very mad idea, I’ll respectfully take the claim, but it has been a silver lining
I see ur point, anhedonia by definition means u cant find pleasure in things u once enjoyed. But on the other hand ur case isnt even as severe as mine imo. And on meds we have our rational minds so u cant argue that u’ve lost ur mind all the time. I would have to see what it’s like to be hellen keller before i agree with u.
I think that there’s always a slight bit of hope with mental illness where as if you’re missing your limbs there isn’t anything that’s going to replace them.
I don’t think the prognosis is very good for deaf/dumb and blind people either.
Schizophrenia is almost a complete and total â– â– â– â–
Bipolar disorder â– â– â– â– â– you up too.
It’s just unfortunate with mental illness because you know that you’re not right and there isn’t anything that you can do about it. Plus people are put off by the mentally ill. If you were blind you would get more sympathy I think. I don’t know. My illness is pretty serious. But I’ve been living with it for almost 20 years and pretty soon I won’t know the difference anymore. It’s tremendous waste of talent but if you are tough enough to overcome it then you are worthy of anyone’s respect
Pretty soon you said you won’t know the difference anymore. I visit my memories of when I wasn’t ill everyday. I use them like tools to remind me that happiness is a real thing. That would be hard for me if I didn’t know the difference anymore.
Well in another two years I will have been sick as long as I was well.
I’ll never forget what it was like to succeed and be happy though. I think that’s where the pain and conflict comes from
I have just opened a thread related 
Take care @Erez_Shmerling !
Hi, @Erez_Shmerling, search some scientific websites !!! I didn’t find it in 11 posts below you!!!
Five years ago when i got out of a sixth month stint in jail for some stuff i did while psychotic, and my anhedonia got turned all the way up, i tried to repress my memories of how life was once better.
It’s been ten years total of sz. I don’t remember how i felt before sz anymore just fading glimpses, it sux but it’s not for me neways. It is as its and it will be what it will be 
You cannot cure people with schizophrenia but screening embryos so that future generations will not have the disease is now a reality. It’s called “Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis”. It costs $15,000 USD to filter one embryo through Invirto-fertilization.
In some parts of europe they would rather get euthanized than wait for a mi cure
I’ve been in jail twice. One in Los Angeles and once in Denver Colorado. I had my first psychotic break after being in jail. The illness never goes away but I think it’s good to hold yourself to the pre illness standards you may have had. At least then you can keep your dignity. If you take drugs and drink then all bets are off and you truly don’t give a ■■■■about life.
I have been cure oriented since my diagnosis nearly 10 years ago. I’ve picked up a lot lost a lot and tried many different idealistic approaches/ methods. I know they are trying to tell you something. I dont think it is something that is permanent I bet you can cure it. A technique of listenning and a little thought, can get you through voices.something i do. Sometimes too, the more you pear into them the more blurred they become, the voices. If you hear a voice and it seems like its from sz wait until it comes to a period. They do periodically. then egg it on to talk more, you can do this too when they are talking like erupt inside say anything it really doesnt matter as long as you get it going. then listen back to where it began the voices, will be different but you put them together and in those sentences it makes periodically even said backwards, has a profound effect on weather or not you know its human voice because you can’t make up the stuff you hear and say it to someone it wouldn’t come out right Puzzling…hearing things you cannot say. It is like it touches on a personal level more primal than environmental. As far as Hallucinations go. I know if you know your about to go into a trance say * im not moving from here* it wont interfere with the hallucination. It’ll give you a chance to keep your footing and not go astray. I know its a powerful force that comes from within that these figments keep appearing from but I dunno. I hope you get some more people with an idea of a cure. all of us have a different approach to what could heal us from this. Blessings

That’s my mantra, that’s the life god threw at me. I just can’t let myself care otherwise i would be upset constantly. Part of accpetance has been to not give a ■■■■about this life anymore. i just don’t want it to get worse.
