I would probably get a job and go back to school right away. Maybe be smart and high functioning again. I would lose weight and get a girlfriend. Probably take a nice hot shower and rejoice…I see this as a possibly in the new few years.
I feel like a rubber band or yoyo that has been very low functioning for the past 8 years (full of kinetic energy) ready to be high functioning again.
I’d move out of my parents house back to the city. Otherwise I wouldn’t do anything differently. To be honest now that my schizophrenia is controlled I function pretty normally other than having to go to bed at 7:30
If my schizophrenia was cured I would go to central park, smoke a fat blunt, and wander through the city all day. I hope this day comes someday, but I don’t really bet on it as I have to be happy with what I got.
If i was cured - I would re-train in computer support and get a local government job back. Before i was ill - i was on bloody good money at 17-19 at the local council here doing IT support The same council that gave me my flat.
I think I would go for my PhD and get heavily back into lifting. As it is I get real paranoid at the gym so I go infrequently. And the medications dull my memory so I have a hard enough time doing my masters, let alone pursuing a PhD
Id also work on getting better at my music and start doing live performances!
