Been ten years since my diagnosis, minimal symptoms
Hi everyone. Just wanted to share my experience. I was diagnosed in 2015 at 29 years, after experiencing prodromal symptoms starting in 2005.
After my diagnosis, I went on Respiredone, switched to Abilify 15 mg and I've been on 7.5 mg for several years now. Went back to school to finish my bachelors, went back again to finish a masters. Started a small business. Gained 62 lbs.
I tend to overthink a lot and jump to conclusions, therapy this past year has really helped mitigate the worst of it. Feeling generally stable lately.
Gonna do a PhD. I'm at that stage where I really want to advocate for awareness. It has been a huge part of my life. What are your thoughts on that? Would it be absolutely terrible to disclose in public?
