The fact that medication doesn’t get rid of all symptoms for me

The paranoia I had before my med adjustment in December. I’m doing fine now.

For me, it’s a matter of perspective. I could have had a cushy life (and compared to many places around the world, I DO have a cushy life), but I have this illness instead. I try not to look at it as a negative, but an enhancement that is a daily challenge and whose ass I continue to kick, giving me a confidence boost. Suck on that, stupid brain! I’ll outwit my uncontrolled brain with the part I can control.

When you’re mentally ill, health care providers think you can’t get physically ill too. It takes forever to get treatment for anything physical. It’s crazy really. And the stigma is so bad.

For me its the sensitivity to things, its also good tho. Getting fat from meds is a big one being borderline fat anyways. Abilify is nice losing weight with it. Im also going to say that, because schizos always complain about meds, even without meds you can be not happy and not get along with people. At least when you are getting symptoms you’re not occupied by the daily little problems you face with people or your mood or whatever. You’re mostly occupied by life at that point.
