Reintegrating into life

Yeah, females develop schizophrenia later in life, but chances of recovery is higher if detected later in life, so I’m not sure about the total and permanent disablement, maybe get a second opinion.

Great to hear you have a partner or a mr in your life along with 2 kids definitely need to up my game lol. I definitely feel the schizophrenia at times I get constant worrying which can be controlled but meds have lessened some delusions I had very early on, delusion free for quiet some time…

yeah they’re are others around with similar diagnosis hope you get to share your experience with them as it’s quiet good to know you’re not alone @Anon1975

It is completely understandable to grieve for the differences in your life now to what it was @Anon1975, and what you have lost. As you've said, it's important to take time to allow yourself to sit with those feelings of grief and loss.

I'm also seeing several little glimmers in your post, such as having found your partner, creating your dream home and watching your kids grow up. These are all wonderful things. Both of these, the grief (even gloom if that arises) and the glimmers, are important.

Hope to see you at the Topic Tuesday next week, and in the mean time, if you haven't already and would like to, you're welcome to join the Schizophrenia Awareness week discussion here.
