Many, many, many people with schizophrenia show improvement but it doesn’t happen overnight. There is currently no cure but people honestly do get better. But all of us go through terrible rough patches but we survive and get better. But we need help.
Personally I spent the entire 1980’s in hospitals and group homes. I spent 8 months locked up in a psychiatric hospital. My suffering was literally constant, and it was painful and scary which you can relate to. I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1980 when I was 19. (by the way, from what I have read, many times, is women tend have a better prognosis than men.). But I was psychotic for a very long period.
From 1990 to 1995 I was in a group home.
But today I took a day off from work. I slept in until 9:00 am and got up and took a shower, ate breakfast and drove across to the next town to go to my bank to take care of some business about getting a new credit card.
The weather was sunny and warm and on the drive home I stopped and got gas and then I passed a pizza parlor I had never been in before, and a pizza sounded good. So I went in and ordered a small individual pizza and they had a big TV with a basketball game on so I leisurely ate my pizza while watching the game.
I headed home but I spotted a dollar store I had never been in and I went in hoping to find something for the apartment so i walked out with some baskets to put batteries in to store in the closet and a package of my favorite cookies, and a few other things. I got back to my own town and stopped and got a much needed haircut.
I was happy part of the day, miserable parts of the day, and kind of neutral the rest. I got home and made phone calls, briefly talked to my roommate, and rested. After dinner I rested than headed out to the library with my laptop and spent an hour at the nice library checking out YouTube and surfing this site. This is not unusual for me. I’ve come a long way from the days I spent 8 months shuffling through the depressing hallways of the institution where I was medicated and frightened and alone. My class starts in a month. Tomorrow is a doctors visit and dinner at my sisters for good conversation and good food.
So you understand why I wrote this? You really can’t compare suffering, but I too, went through hell, which you are going through now but in a different way. When I was young and first diagnosed I was nothing special, I was just some confused, naive 19 year old kid, muddling along in and out of hospitals. I didn’t stand out or see any future. But I’m 56 now and looking back on working for many years and going to college and driving my cars for many years.
I’m not bragging, I tell my story as an example of why you never give up.
