Hi Pawel :slight_smile: Welcome to the forum! I myself do not have schizophrenia. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD. However, I have worked with many people who have schizophrenia and do have an understanding of sorts of what it is about and how it can effect those who do have it. Also, you will find many wonderful people here. We all have something in common. We are all striving to be free from our addictions :slight_smile: this is a wonderful place and I hope u continue to keep posting :slight_smile:

Sounds like there is alot going on for you right now. I hope u continue on with your sobriety :slight_smile: staying clean and sober has helped tremendously with my mental health and physical health. Many people with addictions have concerns with mental health. They seem to go hand in hand.

Hi Pawel! I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 14 years ago. These days the doctor says that it’s more like a schitzo-type disorder as some of the symptoms have eased up.

I had a psychosis about 17 years ago and for three years it went undiagnosed. I was too afraid of the stigma that it has and wasn’t really able to talk about the psychotic symptoms.

These days things are ok. I work as a expert by experience or like a mental health peer support volunteer and speak about mental health awareness.

I’m glad you decided sobriety and to come on this forum. All the best for you!
