I got a girlfriend again, who is very supportive and I plan on moving closer to her. I'm in better shape physically and mentally now. I quit smoking finally after 10 years, don't drink anymore. For me personally, I just devoted my being to working and only working.
But I've been working nonstop since January this year and I'm on track to work until winter (lay off for my seasonal work) and ride out EI until the spring, when I'll do it all again. I quit medications because they often did more harm than good, yeah. Lived a healthy lifestyle, ate better and consistently. I quit drugs all together, worked on sobering up. I don't know why but I decided to clean up my act. I tried many different medications, years on disability, houseless, addicted to drugs and drinking, chain smoking. It's helping me see more of the positives of getting diagnosed and getting help. Thanks for all the responses, particularly those linking to other stories and resources.
TLDR: I need some cheering up, so I would love to hear some post-diagnosis success stories, please. How did getting diagnosed with schizophrenia change your life for the better? Were you able to lead a normal (or comfortably weird) life as a result? From your relationships, jobs, hobbies, etc. I'm low-key angry at how long it's taken to get to this point (this is diagnosis number 5) so I'm looking for success stories to cheer me up. If it is schizophrenia it will mean that I (35m) have been struggling with it for the past 20ish years unaided, but definitely not thriving. I feel like I'm getting some chutzpa back. I've started on Abilify, which was a nightmare, and have now switched to olanzapine which seems to have a positive effect. Partly due to the language used in the conversations with professionals (thought disorder, paranoia, psychosis, etc.) and partly due to the medications I've been prescribed. I have a strong suspicion that the diagnosis will end up being schizophrenia. I'm currently going through the diagnostic process. Hey folks, a new subscriber to the subreddit.
