Hey guys as above anyone? For me its the isolation and the loneliness!

The suddenness of it all. Everything can be A-ok one day, and the next day you’re in a living hell, often even despite a good med regimen.

For me it’s the what ifs that psychosis may be able to lead up to they are so bad from my experience that I don’t even want to say them out loud
Everything in schizophrenia is very bad, nothing good. Without meds I can’t function bcz of postitive symptoms and with meds I can’t function bcz of negative symptoms. There is no way out.

command hallucinations are the worst for me
For me it’s the scary stuff. Scary hallucinations I mean.
For me it is either catatonia or delusions. I’ve had both, but if I had to choose one it would be delusions. Just the whole break from reality is distressing.

Paranoia > Delusions > Negatives. I think in that order.
Worse thing for me right now is that everyday is different. I have no consistency. Good days, bad days.

The worst thing about schizophrenia is hiding and not disclosing the disease to normal people who would be concerned or afraid of me because i have this mental health issue.

The most scary symptom of sz I had is catatonia,
I was frozen no motion, no emotion, fixed eyes for up to 20 min. Once I was frozen with a knife in my right hand thinking about stabbing myself.

Suicide is the worst but it only happened 3 times to me since I was diagnosed so catatonia is the worst.
Not knowing what’s real and what’s not. What people actually said vs what I thought they said. If everyone else saw/heard what just happened or just me.
Negatives. Beeing one third as productive for my life that I could be.
But maybe because meds make my paranoia/delusions under control

Losing all my connections with best friends, friends and acquaintances was a big thing for me…
That was now 6 years ago pretty much where my peers rejected me fully due to my Schizophrenia making me so ill and the effects the meds had on me.
I was a mess, and it was very public in that my name has been dragged through the mud and everyone I went to school with etc will know by now I am a schizo
For the people that lost friends because of SZ.
These people are not really friends.
Yes it hurts but with time you will find those that are real.

The friends I got after sz while on Abilify were of lower quality, less smart, than before sz.
Now I don’t have friends and its better, I would rather have no friends than having dumb friends.
Many of my presz friends were Drs, one is a brain surgeon. While on Abilify, many of my friends smoked weed and had no job or no university degree. Sz made me stupid.
Some used cocaine, I would rather have my smart friends or no friends than having drug addicts as friends.
