It suddenly got a lot harder to function in daily life a couple weeks ago. My symptoms got a lot worse, the voices got louder, my paranoia increased a lot and I feel like I’m constantly projecting my thoughts to others. Also I’m having a lot of intrusive thoughts that are quite annoying. I’m probably going to take a medical leave from school. Hard not to feel like a failure at times like these.
Don’t get discouraged @catsrcool !
It has been more than a year since I was able to study to a certain degree,
and I’m not giving up!
Neither should you!
Even if you can’t study this semester you can always try again later!

That is very true, thank you for the kind words Erez. How are you doing, how do you spend your days with this peculiar illness?

One thing I did was working out.
Last few days I was weak due to illness so skipped workouts but in general I try to work out every day at health club.
Further two things about which I just in recent days started to see encouraging signs:
Solving chess puzzles, reading the newspaper.
If I manage to do something else I’ll let you know.
I have to tell you that my interests in chess and mathematics were developed after illness onset!
So the fact that you have this illness doesn’t rule out discovering new talents and interests!
I wish you all the best my friend!

It’s cool that you’ve found new interests after getting this illness. I love working out too, but I’ve lost motivation recently. All the best to you as well, Erez.
