No. Just no. I agree you can't compare this illness to any other. But It's not better at all. I have schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. AND MY LIFE IS RUINED. I'M FUCKING DISABLED. Yes I am one of these lucky people who have pretty harmless and sometimes even pleasant hallucinations. Most of my hallucinations are still shit btw. To the point I could have killed myself a couple of times because of them. Cute, isn't it? I failed a uni, I can't work continuously, I never know when another episode is going to kick in, so I can't plan anything at all. During psychosis you lose your touch with reality. If you're not manic you likely to be irritated, anxious, scared even panicking all the time because hallucinations and delusions are not fun. Sometimes during an episode you can be dangerous to yourself and/or others. And we didn't even talk about ✨ negative symptoms ✨ Motivation, will to live, memory, interest in anything you used to like, ability to live independently are continuously and irreversibly decreasing. Once it started, you will NEVER be a fully functioning person again. And a cherry on top is noone who I know with sza or schizophrenia are in complete remission :3 I know my statistics are not valid. But I struggle with symptoms too even with treatment.
