That’s a good idea, @san_pedro. Like my niece tells me, “Don’t own that, Aunt Gina”.

found this website which calls them outcome stars and has a vast array of different type of stars

http://www.outcomesstar.org.uk/using-the-star/

looks legit anyway.

its harder than it looks, best to ask your therapist or nurse x

I’ve heard it’s possible. I heard of a girl who had schizophrenia since she was a kid and she apparently never took meds because her family thought it was spiritual. but eventually she got away from her family learned to cope and became a lawyer

I hope to be successful like that someday.

But tbh I think success in life is measured by your satisfaction and how content you are in life. So getting off meds shouldn’t necessarily be the goal. It should be more how able you are to live like you want and working towards that.

There are many people who recover from sz, they just don’t go around talking about it to everyone, they move on with their lives. Maybe something like a third or less of all those diagnosed.

i’d like to see the stats for that tbh

The best recovery story I’ve read is Elyn Saks in the “The Center Can’t Hold”.

The most ridiculous story I’ve ever heard of schizophrenia or something like it is my own. I’m writing a book about it. I lived a very interesting life, worked at some of the hardest to get into companies in the world and then got spiritual. I went over the top nuts for 6 years and was diagnosed as being the worst of the worst in terms of schizophrenics. But interestingly it just went away I have been living a somewhat normal but happy and productive life for the past 3 years. I believe what I had was a major kundalini activation though which was just masking itself as schizophrenia. I don’t think schizophrenia, which is a degradation in the genetics, just goes away like mine did and leaves me in a great state of mind.

Some people recover completely and for some other people it is only episodic.

Are there some people who don’t recover?
