I was 25 and I wasn’t sza yet, did a lot of driving and some dating. I didn’t smoke any cigarettes from age 21-26ish, so I was breathing easier too.

I was living in northern Kentucky workin 50-60 hours a week on night shift. I had an apartment and a roommate who is still a good friend of mine. our apartment was right next to a bar and me and my roommate would walk there at night. I remember they used to have cover bands on the weekends and me and my friend would always request “shelter from the storm” by bob Dylan. lol, nobody ever played it. I was 24-25. I was single and enjoying it, I had just got out of a 4 year relationship. she just wasn’t right for me, I was active and sporty and she was artsy. I remember resenting her and thinking she was lazy.

I was already ill, but without have tried all the aps… I was in pain, no one on my side, just tripping outside… I always lived myself as severely ill, even before my diagnosis lol… Maybe this is a diagnosis in itself, idk… I had my bachelor behind my back, but couldn’t progress in life anymore… I had some friends left, pissed by my complaints etc etc… I was thinking about one guy in my life then, but now I have other problems lol…

Well 11 years ago I was involuntarily hospitalized for the very first time. I was completely loco and didn’t even know where I was.

So 10 years ago I was coming to terms with it all I guess.

I had already gotten sick, real sick but hadn’t given up yet. Was working, taking care of two kids and an elderly parent and I had already moved out of my big house with a big yard by then thankfully. That I couldn’t handle on my own anymore. Was just about to meet my husband.

I was at what was probably my lowest point. I was off but didn’t know why. I couldn’t hold down a job and had just had a few major surgeries. I lost my house, my husband totaled out his commuter car on our way over to our new rental the day we left our home, and I was sleeping all day. I had 3, 7, and 10 year old children to care for, but my husband was left to do it all. I was diagnosed a couple of years later. I think I was suffering with a lot of negatives, but I didn’t even know what negatives were until I got on this board two years ago. I thought I was just lazy.

back then I was just starting to get into health. I would spend a lot of money on organic groceries. I remember when I got home from work in the mornings I would often make me and my roommate breakfast. my go to was gluten free pancakes with blueberries to sweeten it up. I also remember having a copy of barack Obama’s dreams from my father or something which I never read laying around. my health kick would provide the motivation to stop drinking shortly after, but then I started drinking again when I began to isolate a couple years later

i would have just tried to take an overdose, luckily i failed, was a really dumb thing to do and i was almost fully symptomatic so they put me in the psyche ward

10 years ago I was a supplemental instructor for developmental math and was a Sophomore in college. I did not get schizophrenic until 2011. I used to work out at the college and run. I was also 50 lbs lighter but I remember feeling great and having no worries.

I was just diagnosed with schizophrenia, living with one of my parents. I still have some of the same delusions. Had dropped out of college earlier that year.
