What would you do if all your symptoms completely disappeared tomorrow?

The delusions, the paranoia, the unwarranted anxiety, negative symptoms, cognitive symptoms, everything wrong with your brain was fixed. What would you do with your life? I feel that as people who know what it’s like to go beyond the borders of sanity we would have an interesting view on the world.

I’d imagine I’d had to adjust first. But I would get a job and go to college.

To be honest, even with meds making me “normal”, I still find that I miss my psychosis when it’s gone; therefore, if my symptoms suddenly subsided, I would be kind of sad.
I know that sounds weird, to ‘want’ to be sick, but I can’t help it.
It’s like I can’t get enough punishment :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s like losing 500 lbs instantly and expecting to run a marathon. You need to get surgery to remove excess skin and start small, etc. . You need to adjust. It would be night and day for me. Anyone feel the same? Our bodies need to adjust.

I would wake up refreshed, at peace, enjoying life. I wish for this all the time.

I would feel amazing, I bet. I don’t remember life without SZ, I’ve always been this way, but I imagine I would feel smart and energetic again.
I would clean up my apartment, I would finish school, I would socialize, I would work towards losing weight, and go on walks, and be happy.

Its sick to think this but I would be devastated.

So many of my symptoms are terrifying and wouldn’t be missed,

But a few I feel completely attached and dependent on.

They make up who I am,

I would be lost without them.

Like an important part of me had died,

I’d be in mourning.

Something is wrong with me, huh?

I can understand how you feel because I feel like that sometimes, but I doubt that would affect me too much.

I would be happy because no more stupid meds or side effects! This actually makes me emotional because I wish it could happen. Then I’d go to a Waffle House and celebrate! Then I’d carry on with my life but remember I’m blessed to have gotten over schizophrenia. It would make me want to achieve more.
