Schizophrenia Support Group
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception of reality and by significant social dysfunction. Untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized by demonstrating disorganized thinking and experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.
I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia but I was originally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. My mood swings were very 'active' today - and as I tried to do some work that would improve my life today - the moods took over in a big way. The illness humbles me and keeps me in check with the reality I have now. In so many words I am not sure if I can aspire to ever master the illness and move on to self support again. RIght now, I do feel some reasonability about the whole thing, so Yes, I do feel I can aspire, but this is after a day of difficulty. It was just a very up and down day. Just tough.

Hello- I am new to the group
However, mastering the illness to me is maintaining a treatment team (psychologist, psychiatrist, friends and family and daily activities).
Be gentle with yourself. We all have our up/down days that gets in the way of work.
Hugs my friend.
