What is the best thing about having SZ?

Sz humbles me……I would have been a conceded jerk if I didn’t have sz. Lol lol

I’ve said this before but I never wanted kids and I feel I could have sleep walked into having kids if it wasn’t for schizophrenia. That’s the only thing I can think of as a “plus” for my own personal situation.

Free insurance and benefits. A can’t think of any positives psychologically.

Edit: being a little suspicious makes it hard for people to scam you. I guess that’s good.

Not having to go to employment agencies anymore and stress at work and be treated badly .
That stuff stresses me out and can trigger me.

My last hospitalisation was after the employment agency forced me to do a course.
If I didn’t I wouldn’t get centrelink payments so I did it while psychotic and ended up in hospital.

Thankfully I’m on disability pension now and that’s the best because i don’t have the stress and drama of work.

I have enjoyed some work with some people but mostly it’s not good n people talk down at me n disrespectful etc

If I work i should be boss and choose who I work with and for and for how long etc

Well depending on your viewpoint sz is sort of like the ultimate birth control.

Sz man: “Hey I have sz, wanna be my girlfriend?”

Woman: “Losa!”

I take offense at that.

You’re amazeballs with a big heart. I promise that there is someone out there for you, ya just gotta get out and socialize a bit to bump into her.

I don’t have to work and I’m relatively free to do what I want. I’m not saying it’s better than having money if I’d of even made much. But if you’re gonna find a positive, getting to sleep in when you stay up late is nice. So the amount of freedom and leniency I get in my daily living is a positive.

IDK, before schizophrenia hit I went through about 15 jobs and never lasted more than 3 months at any of them. I got sick and spent a year in a group home then 8 months in the hospital. 9 months after I got out I got a job and stayed there four years. Now it’s 40 years later and I’ve had a couple jobs where I stayed four years, a couple where I stayed three years and I’ve been at my current job 12 years. Schizophrenia made me employable, lol. Also, my senior year of high school I failed most of my classes and flunked out. After schizophrenia I went to college and got a bunch of A’s and B’s and got my diploma.

I can just kinda’ play a movie inside my head.

It’s easier to blame sz than to blame myself for everything. That’s the only thing I can think about this crappy mi.
