Its not like when you fall and break your leg you know why it happened? Or if you have high cholestrol from eating too much bacon everyday
They say schizophrenia isnt caused by 1 thing
Its usually a combination of these
Brain structure, genetics, environment you grew up or exposed to in life like eg trauma or bad stress and cannabis use /drug use can trigger it

I dont accept when pdoc told me this because i think mine was only caused by trauma throughout my life. Things escalated for instance until i could deal with less and less stress. Spiralled

I have found that overanalyzing why I developed sz makes me depressed. I hate feeling depressed so I have taught myself to just accept my illness and not let it define me. I try my hardest to enjoy my life without overthinking everything.

Yes I over analyze, but no, not when it comes to how I got SZ. Honestly don’t care. It’s not how you broke your leg that matters, it’s getting back to walking again that counts. That’s where I put my energy.
For over analyzing, yes, I do. Some of my hobbies involve solo sojourns and those can be dangerous if things go sideways. I have contingency plans and contingency plans for failed contingency plans.

I’m self critical and a cynic. I don’t analyze how I got schz, I just deal with it at this point.

Yes I used to specially early on and sometimes still do but I kinda let go of it and accepted I might never know my diagnosis.

yes, I do. I over analysis it now and then. Also, I can accept my illness.

I have a basic idea as to why I developed SMI, but it’s not something I spend great chunks of time thinking about. Cognition/intelligence on the other hand- !! I’m like a dog trying to get as much marrow from a bone as possible. It’s fuelled by negative and traumatic childhood and adolescent experiences.

I gave up on being normal, that’s not me. I became functional, then useful, and then got invited in. They put up with me because they need me. Symbiotic relationship, I guess.
I have that sort of thing with my hubby mutual thing. I cant handle speaking to anyone even family and mh i zone out because find it a real stress. I cant talk to anyone properly irl im hopeless
I get paid to for my job!
Must be social anxiety. Im so bad thou i really am dysfuctional i only leave flat for appointments mostly
Texting is so much politer.
