Oh my gosh I don’t even know that one is so hard. They’re both hell, just different types of hell.
Positive symptoms can be traumatizing and terrifying. But they can also be exciting.
Negative symptoms don’t have anything positive about them. They aren’t as intensely bad as positives can be but they just make life miserable and not fun.
I would say some of both, really. Theres some pos & negs that Ive got a grasp on but the ones that are left over, on either side, are ridiculous.
I don’t suffer too much with negatives but don’t sound good but my positives are very crippling and I’d say they are worse
It depends on the circumstances and the extent to which either symptom cause adverse impact
I can’t tell.
Negatives are hell
but positives are even greater hell
i could deal with just negatives right now. id be fine just unmotivated. that would be swell.
The negatives are worse for me. The positives are hectic but at least I feel alive
Negatives are so insidious you don’t know you even have them you just can’t and don’t want to do anything, and everything sucks. Positives are what most people identify sz with, the outward signs of psychosis. I would say positives are worse.
The positive symptoms leave me constantly anxious which is horrible
Positives are a waking nightmare!
I say positives.
My paranoia and delusions are horrific!
My negatives are pretty bad also but I don’t pose a threat to society with negative symptoms.
I slept a lot before I was medicated. I didn’t realize that was a negative symptom. I sometimes miss sleeping a lot. Really I just wish I could take a nap when I wanted. As far as negative symptoms, I wasn’t working much right before I was medicated. I showered, etc.
My positive symptoms were worse. I thought my hallucinations were real. I went to get a diagnosis at the hospital to stop the voices. After six years, I’d had enough. They were constant and kept me awake during the middle of the night. I thought I was in a psychic attack from an occult. I’d lost touch with friends and family. My positive symptoms are definitely worse than my negative symptoms. Even medicated I still hear a constant voice.
The positives are more dangerous for me, because I can get violent when I’m in the positives. Not physically violent, but emotionally violent. There have been a few times when I was lucky I didn’t get my ass whipped.
