What has been the biggest problem for you in recovery?

For me, it is getting myself together again. I think the fact I am still a bit paranoid about certain stuff has not really helped that.

Lack of help. From anybody (friends,family and doctors)

Work has. I can do well for a while, but if the stress gets too much which it seems too every few months, I go back quite far in my recovery.

I have addressed this with occupational health, and I hope it will get better over time.

I don’t tell anyone what I have. I keep it secret as best as possible.

Guilt and shame. Plus doing things that increased guilt and shame. Ironically i think i did those things to numb my feelings of… guilt and shame. rolls eyes

I don’t know, maybe finding structure and purpose. im hoping to convert my barn into a workshop when I have the money and start crafting guitars and mandolins in my spare time to keep me busy. I have a lot of aimless days at the moment.

Hallucinations! They are absolutely horrifying.

The fact that medications do not work for me, and that there is literally nothing I can do because apparently I’ve lost my free will.

Probably isolation and not enough activity. And, that I believe my delusions more than I believe in myself as a person.

The fact that I have a very low threshold for stress, which makes me sick

Probably distrusting myself. I hold myself back a lot but so far I am doing pretty well so maybe keeping my stress low is a good thing

Remembering meds. This is why i prefer injection over pills.

I’m too focused on the bad things that happened in the past as a result of my illness. I can’t seem to move on entirely from the horrible things I thought while psychotic.

The hardest things for me are lack of motivation and lack of interest in life in general, I just have a hard time enjoying my time and have a hard time getting started on anything. And at times I struggle with depression and anxiety still.

I get this too. Like because the past has been bad, that is kind of what you expect now in the future and it is hard to move on.
