Hi....I'll try to convey what I mean with a limited vocabulary.
I see from reading a few threads that many of you seem high functioning despite schizophrenia.
Over the years and recently I've either talked to or watched people who seem very much affected by their illness. Yet I don't get many if any symptoms anymore, I feel sharp and focused and my mind doesn't stray into delusions etc. My mood is also stable.
I act and sound like a normal husband and dad etc and yet I see many examples of people who are very much affected.
I didn't get symptoms until I was thirty and thinking back my behavior was more like bipolar. It may just be a dividend off effective meds I'm not sure but one thing is for sure, I don't sound and act like a stereotypical schizophrenic.
It leads me to question if I have schizophrenia at all?
