Don’t leave home. Work it out with your parents till you find a partner to live with.

I wouldn’t give any advice to myself because I did my best.

Live and learn. Honestly, nothing can prepare any one who has sz. Each person’s experience is unique. I am not wiser because I am ill. I am more experienced and have learned from my mistakes. I am wiser because I have lived. My advice to those who are younger and suffering from sz: live and take time to smell the roses; life is short so live life well without worrying too much about the future. Who knows what the future holds for each one of us? Did you know you were going to become ill? I did not. So, live life to the fullest and as you enjoy life, you will find your path. I found mine. Through the pain and sadness, I found my path of happiness- working, enjoying the small things in life, and finding new hobbies. I am happy because I am grateful for my existence- my health and my life. I live life with freedom and independence. I am blessed for what I have.

Stay on the drugs the pdoc advised you too. If they are to sedating, ask for another. Don’t suddenly stop. Drink less alcohol. Accept your mental illness. Don’t be ashamed.

Realize there is no medical magic bullet. No med will make the symptoms go away completely, and when that does happen, it zombifies me; that I will always have to cope with some symptoms.

my advice to myself would be to start on the right meds sooner.

I agree that no medicine will make the symptoms go away completely, for me.
It probably would have been smarter to avoid the crack. I shouldn’t have made friends with the wrong people.

Probably just tell myself its not going away on its own
Probably just tell myself to hang in there and stay on meds
Should have gotten on meds sooner, at 16y.o.

Get help as soon as you can.
You have autism. That is why nothing makes sense and everything is so hard.
Glad there is more awareness professionally about high functioning autism in girls. Wish it was the case 30 years ago.
