What’s something you’re proud of/that you’ve accomplished since becoming diagnosed?
I stopped biting my nails almost two years ago after biting them my whole life. I also got married (which after being diagnosed I never thought would happen)
Now your turn, GO!!!
I got two associate degrees from my local community college after being diagnosed. 
Getting a major degree in university, physiotherapy.
But I would have done much better without my sz.
Running half marathons as well as in training weekly at one point
Being 14 years since last episode but this is not my achievement as much as a mixture of everything
Being married for 10 years
Cooking from scratch for every meal, even though I’m on a plant based diet and my husband eats everything
I also quit smoking when I was last in hospital
I have a daughter who is a tolerable human despite sharing half of my genetics.
I did not give in to drinking alcohol. Since my dx. I used to drink heavily sometimes, before my dx
I got married. Went overseas for the first time. Lived in another country for a couple of years. Quit smoking and started exercising a lot more lately.
I’ve written hundreds of poems.
I went through a crisis point where I had to choose between scientist-thought centered or artist/ feeling mind. I chose art- minde
drastically cut back on my drinking, like 1 glass of wine twice a month. quit weed altogether. now im looking forward to studying biology. i also have my own place that is 1/3rd paid off. just staying out of trouble now is my greatest feat. and i lost weight.
My family is my greatest accomplishment.
I’ve got three beautiful children…and two ugly ones.
I haven’t accomplished anything since getting diagnosed
I got an associate degree and went back to work full time.
I had a piece of popcorn stuck in my teeth for like two weeks that I failed to get out. But finally with lots of support and encouragement from my family, and advice from my psychiatrist and my therapist I finally got that sucker out. I owe a lot of it to luck though.
I bet your family just loves you to death.
when i took zyprxa at 24 years of age i remmber waking up dazed but amazilngly from there i learned how to drive i went back to tafe then i worked delivery and then factory.im 40 now and im happy with what i accomplished.the problem now is going foward what do i do now.im bed ridden now
I’ve written two 1,500 word essays, one of which I think is pretty good, and the other I’m wrestling with. I’ve written five 5,000 word short stories and one 15,000 word story which I believe are good, but they need polishing. One thing I am not ashamed of is that I’ve let my body go, but right now I feel sick, so it wouldn’t be good to start working out right away.
Working is harder than university for me. I wish that university was free, I would have gotten a degree in each science subject
