  • I do want to talk with people who don’t have severe schizophrenia just a mild version of it that’s why I made this community however I am the only one posting here which is kind of sad.

    I try to talk with people in real life but I couldn’t since I start thinking about negative stuff :/

    I might request my psychiatrist to connect me with someone going through the same situation as me.

    I really wish people start posting here often so I could get some feedback from people living with schizophrenia.




  • first of all thank you for the detailed and informative comment.

    Something I hear in your post is that you’re not very happy about being diagnosed with schizophrenia.

    yes, because even after diagnosed with schizophrenia I see no difference in my day to day life. I still get nervous/anxious while talking to someone and think they are plotting something against me. my psychiatrist always ask if I am hearing voices or not anymore and I always get confused since I have insight I don’t know if the voices are just my subconcious. however after taking meds those “talking inside my head” has significantly decreased.

    How else is the diagnosis impacting you? I have been taking Triflux daily. I would say it kinda working? I don’t hear “voices”(intentionally quoting voices) anymore. that’s it. I am still socially awkward and live inside my own head all the time. however I am functional, I do go to work and have meaningful conversation there, I can solve problems. so yeah, it’s not affecting me that much. which brings the question “should I be still taking those meds?”. I don’t know the answer. I had quit taking meds in the past and my behavior went down hill, I started talking inside my head again and stopped talking with my parents, so my parents and psychiatrist told me to continue taking the meds.
