I was started with panoride Sz. Soon converted into split mind . I have only visual hallucinations.
Constantly having to remind yourself that things you’re experiencing aren’t real no matter how real they feel in the moment.
I’ve heard people in my life go on about how bipolar is the worst thing that can ever happen to you. I’ve had both bipolar and sza. Bipolar is like a single sneeze compared to the month long virus that is schizophrenia. Sz wrecks families and lives. I got through college on bipolar on one single psychiatric med, with a 3.8 average. I immediately flunked out of the one class I was taking when I developed schizophrenia.
If my mom hadn’t given up on me during my 3 years of insanity I’d be homeless or dead right now. She had no proof or even evidence that I’d recover to the point of being able to communicate normally again, but she kept hoping and even housing me when possible. I really owe her my life for that, and I let her know how thankful I am whenever I can.
I have sza bipolar type and the bipolar is probably worse for me but the sz is more disabling overall
Cockburn lol. 1514
Good reading, I wonder what was his bachelor.
It’s not easy for anyone, tho my pysch nurse dispatched me cuz according to her there wasn’t much to do in my case. My pdoc is lowering my meds, cuz I shake a lot.
In my opinion I think it’s an evolving disease that needs regular adjustments, and not quit or change time of taking meds.
Stating this, I think it’s not the worst, Alzheimer’s for me it’s worst, but I don’t rank it all
some make lite of sz/sza i don’t because i know
I have both bipolar and schizophrenia
Both disorders are crippling for me but my bipolar symptoms are more prevalent
When I was under age 45, I suffered from sz and bipolar in equal measure. Both were excruciating. At age 45, the bipolar disappeared (with meds), leaving sz symptoms. At age 57, I was placed on a third AP whereupon my psychotic symptoms substantially improved without disappearing.
I have bipolar and schizophrenia and they both equally suck.
i have sz but reading the above news article – i couldn’t read it thoroughly. it hurts too much…
judy
Sz by far the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. I wont fo into detail but I have had many trials in life but sz takes the cake…
Same here, the psychosis sucks for me and is debilitating, but I get downright reckless when I’m manic. The decisions I made during my last manic episode have put me in a bad spot that’s going to take me a long time to work out of.
I do remember trying to take tests and focus on courses in college with auditory hallucinations, which was horrible.
It took me 8 or 9 years to get my bachelors degree because of sza.
Bring on those devastating delusions let’s have some fun.
