Hey guys as above, my best years were between 16 and 19, before schizophrenia, thoughts?

Last year was the best for me materially but mentally it was from 1990-2011.

Now that I’m remarried and have a new family, my life is the best it’s ever been, even with being monitored by SEALs

When I was a kid in Southern California. It felt like the world was mine.

Also, a couple years after I got diagnosed and lived with my family. I had a lot of fun showing crazy movies to my sister and brother. :slight_smile:

My youth. Childhood, my parents gave me a great childhood, I was always happy. Teenage years were pretty good too. The years between 20-28 was a waste and not good because of mental illness. Now is not bad.

i think my current life is best… i don’t have the stress from school anymore, i can’t go to work… i really liked the time i worked still but i got so psychotic that it was really scary and i don’t long back to those days but being able to do some work was nice though so it’s a bit of a combination… i liked part of my life but part also not. Now these days i can enjoy life a bit and in less stressful situation.

The best time of my life was when I was 25 +/-2 years because at that age I was at my peak athletic performance. I did 6.34km or 3.94 miles in 30 minutes which is my best time on a treadmill. I can never get close to that time & distance now that I am much older but still 25 years of age was the best times of my life.

I like to think that the current time is the best time of your life,

And I work to make it so.

That being said,

I had a great childhood that floods me with positive emotion,

And the birth of my son is highest on the list.

Last four or five years.

Since I met my x boyfriend in sa.

Meeting him is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Getting my horse is one of the best things to ever happen to me too but I was so delusional when I first got her I had delusions about her.
Even thought she was my mother and gave birth to me then I thought I was her mother and gave birth to her.
She was given to me by strangers that were going to take her to the doggers.

In a way I was happiest with my x boyfriend in sa.

It was pretty perfect with him and the girls out in the country.

I left to give my horse a better paddock and go on a vegan diet which he wouldn’t allow.

Best time is now too in a way because I am who I want to be (someone on vegan diet) and my horse is old but happy.i have a dog etc
I have a new boyfriend.
It’s only been two months but he is great so far.

I miss having friends but I was so fu cked up when I had friends such as depressed etc

Loved it when my kid was around seven years old because that’s a fun age, but also having a blast right now. Doing what I can to make each new day the best I’ve had yet.
