I am a schizophrenic person with schizophrenia I am whether it is because I was mistreated in my past or because of bad genes etc.

I think I need to come to terms with that is the way it is and that’s IT. making the best of the situation comes after hopefully.

I feel so pressured by some to work so hard that the sz goes away. is there such a thing? this bothers me quite a bit.

One way I’ve heard it put is that “genetics loads the gun and the environment pulls the trigger”. You’re right, though, I think that in the end all we can do is make the best of it. Personally, I see sz as like alcoholism in that there is no “cure”. You are given a daily reprieve based on the maintenance of a personal program.
