I have been my usual state of continuously psychotic, though thankfully I have not been in any serious crises since early 2017. I most certainly am without a doubt insane, but not in any way that endangers myself or anyone else. One of my many unfortunate troubles has been that notorious, pervasive, and profound lack of insight that schizophrenia is infamous for ... hence my absence.

I do hope you are doing as well as can be reasonably expected, given your circumstances.
Yes, lack of insight sucks. So do the negative symptoms or MDD which I also was diagnosed with. I hate being lost inside myself. A relative was very po'ed at me because I hadn't called my mom in weeks. I don't even understand why. I just know I didn't want to and I don't know why. Maybe trying to withdraw from reality. Sorry to hear you haven't been going out except to see the pdoc. I get that way too, but now I'm in a nursing home and can't really get much time alone. I mean I do, but there are always people around. I wish I could go home. I hope your symptoms will ease up and give you a break. [emoji813]
Thanks for this!
