I belive that schizophrenia is the vocalization of emotion in a persons head. This is a great piece on one persons victory over schizophrenia.

I'm schitsoeffective. My councilors tell me to look at life objectively and that I will probably be on disability my whole life
About once a year I get some BS job to get out of the house but it doesn't last long. I'll start going off on customers because I think they are muttering about me. Or be looking for a kid who isn't there. I could go on...
With age comes hope but with my current meds and condition doesn't show much hope. Sucks being trapped inside all day but it beats the white walls and floors of the crisis units.
When I'm admitted for a crisis their treatment method is thorzine.

Flat effects?.....Hmmm, not quite sure....Is it due to meds or the disorder?

I know what you mean. Colors are dull. Everyone around you is having a blast but you just can't seem to smile. Everyone laughs loud at a movie and you only give a slight smile. People are kissing and being in love with each other and you forget what love even is.
It sucks. Invega made these symptoms worse. Cogenten helped a bit... In the end though nothing helps except learning to think differently

This is a great organization/website on this topic.
AFOAF, I love your last sentence, "In the end though nothing helps except learning to think differently." I would change it slightly and say that lots of things may help some (different for different people) but nothing helps as much as simply learning to think differently. Our minds are so powerful and we forget that simply changing the idea that we are stuck opens whole universes of change.

It's a challenge for sure but way more interesting, no?bit of both, i cant function without the meds so going off them is not an option, all i know is i smoke alot of cigarettes to feel somewhat more 'alive' in a sense, but theres this constant feeling of tiredness and just cant be bothered with anything, everything is an effort feeling
