on a scale of 1-10, how close are you to full recovery?

In terms of my psychosis itself I'd say I'm an 9 out of 10 at the moment. I'm not symptom free but I'm paranoia/delusion free & my voices are ceasing to be a problem for me at all despite being around... but if you factor the side effects of medication into that I'd put myself down one to an 8.

I just feel that it's the medication that is holding me back from fully moving on into a more normal daily routine & getting a job mostly because of sleepiness. I seem to be feeling less tired this past week so I'm hopeful after 8 weeks or so I'm adjusting to the medication somewhat more. I'm not sure whether I'll stay at an 8 whilst on meds with it only going up when I can come off my meds.

I'm at like a 1 I think. It's been really hard for me these last few months. My Schizophrenia is getting worse which is giving me more anxiety. I can't go to the grocery store without freaking out about it.

I think I'm probably a 2. That's a positive 2 though. I've made huge progress, but I know it's going to be a long journey.
