I am now realising why therapy never worked for me and why my therapist gave up trying to help me. It’s cos I struggle to tell how I feel. Everything is just making so much sense.

I found that my psychologist was wasted time (and expensive!).
I think sometimes in the beginning of sz it can be useful to have a psychologist. But after a while it becomes pointless.
That’s at least my experience.

That’s my experience too and I don’t mean to say it in a nasty way… I didn’t want her to feel like I don’t appreciate the sessions. I did. a lot… but it just didn’t work.

The sad things with psychologists I think is that they really want to help. But I don’t see how talking and indulging in ones miseries would help?
I used to believe in therapy. I used to believe docs but they only treat symptoms.
These days I’m all about it boiling down to genes.
I was just unlucky inheriting such lousy genes.

I know that a stat that is widely published is that sz is 80% genetic.
I have an uncle and a cousin with sz and some other relatives who have experienced psychosis.
It runs in my dad’s side of the family.

I’m not sure about sz because I don’t know any relatives who have it , but I think epilepsy and eye conditions as well as anxiety , ADHD and autism definitely run in my family and cancer. I got lucky with sz.

I’m not having any children so I’m a dead end. Which is good, I don’t want to put someone who would be suffering in to this cruel world.

I keep using my therapist provided through my work benefits. I think of it as ongoing maintenance and find it very helpful. I like therapy because it helps me cope with my illnesses without crippling side effects. Anything that helps that is not a medication is aces in my book.

I dont have much experience with therapy,
But i get helped by talking about things with someone.

I always found therapy pointless because you can’t reason with someone with psychosis when they have an episode, so all the “tools” therapy teaches are useless.
Plus talking about my sza makes me worse.
