I wouldn’t trade it for anything, it could be worse. I could have an anxiety much worse than my schizoaffective or bipolar.

Would trade for depression. Wait is depression even a mental illness? With how severe schizophrenia is, it’s hard to see depression as a mental illness.

SZ has been a f u k n Nightmare too. Depends where you are in your illness and treatment.

None of them. I have had symptoms of practically all of the main mental illnesses due to the side effect of the drugs, and the circumstance of life and as it is I have two serious mental illnesses of schizophrenia and anxiety. No matter what it is it’s no picnic. I had depression due to my father’s terminal illness to the point it literally hurt. I have had an eating disorder that was aggravated by my loneliness and the meds. One med gave me manic like symptoms and another briefly gave me both visual and auditory schizophrenia (before I only experienced auditory). I would not give up the schizophrenia for a worst case anxiety either. Anxiety can be just as socially crippling. And yeah a symptom of schizophrenia mimics ADHD.

I suppose if I had choice between diseases I would prefer to be a schizophrenic kleptomaniac. After all, you’re never alone and if it gets too bad, you can always take something for it.

I don’t think I would. In some sense I feel like I was made for this sht. However awful it’s been, it’s made me stronger, and I appreciate myself more than I have before.

Personally i think depression is one of the worst. You dont get a break from it if you just have major depression. I probably wouldnt make it if that was my dx

i know a girl who is diagnosed with major depression and she has been living in a severe state of pain for her entire life. ive had some of it myself back in the nineties and i basically slept it off for years, i was on zyprexa and could sleep night and day. since then my sleep has been bad now i’m on something that is better and that is the case with most people who have been on zyprexa. but this girl i know has a real will to live, she has thought about suicide a lot.

Nothing else. I’ve gotten used to being schizophrenic and it’s not so bad when my meds are working.

I wouldn’t trade my sza for anything else. I had it for over half my life so I’m used to it now and the meds help so it’s bearable

Binge eating disorder. You can eat whatever you want.

Nothing lol i have aspergers and sz, and i feel blessed by it. There are some hard things to deal with but i feel like im more intuitive and lazer focused with these conditions. Everythings got a cost and benefit. Im happy with my life. I feel like its a great opportunity.
