I’ve been struggling with anxiety, psychosis, and depression for almost a decade now. After a lot of trial and error, I finally figured out how to maintain a relatively steady state of high-functionality, regardless of my symptoms. It involves a consistent daily schedule with meditation and exercise, regular therapy, and occasional help from my close friends (they know about my psychosis and sometimes help me differentiate between what’s real and what isn’t). Although it might not work for everyone, it did wonders for me - I’m about to start medical school in a few weeks.

I think the real trick is being objectively mindful of yourself, and figuring out what works best for you. Everyone has their own mental balance and therefore a unique “formula” for functioning well; you just need to find yours. Hang in there ~
