You're going to be okay.

Through a number of habits, diet, exercise, and meditation, you can function relatively normally and have a social life. You may even excel in life, as there have been many very successful people with the same condition.

Sorry to hear this, fren. A lot of aspiring writers glamorize mental illness as some kind of portal to uncanny worlds and limit experiences. They're probably naive to do so. Schizophrenia doesn't sound like a good time. Nevertheless, there is also something to what the naive dolts are saying. Your life will be more difficult than it would be without the illness. But it might also give you really unique perspectives and insights into things. Given that you're in an MFA, I can only assume you enjoy writing. Maybe you'll be able to make the most of the shitty hand you've been dealt!
Best of luck.

Schizophrenia is a medical term developed by goverment satanists in order to subjugate the whole of mankind. They diagnose you because they are afraid of you and your powers, because you 'see' things that no one else can 'see'. You must enlighten the masses with your secrets and wisdom. Align your auras, activate your hidden psychic powers, and liberate mankind from the devil and his henchmen by unveiling their conspiracy.

OP, it doesn’t have to be that bad. Just take care of yourself, talk to your family and friends about it and try not to hide things and solve them by yourself. It is the attempts to solve the unsolvable that will just make things worse. Instead just aknowledge whatever troubles you, then try to shift focus to doing something constructive. Don’t strain yourself to finish the work on time. Rather, take breaks when you need to and try to work for the long term completion of things. There was a Finnish study about family interventions dor people in prodromal phase which had very good results. Look it up.

You can still live a normal life if your condition is not particularly resistant to treatment, just try to avoid getting into any substance abuse. My grandmother was a paranoid schizophrenic and lived fairly normal apart from the occasional episode but I never even knew about those until she'd been dead for several years and my dad told me. The biggest thing was that she drank like a fish and smoked like a burning building her whole life so she died of complications with those. Even then, I think she was on her 70s by that point and had managed to be married (twice even) and have 2 kids so that's not a bad run.

Besides, now you've got something to write about!

Brainlets, this isn't exclusive to psychiatry. Plenty of other illnesses can have underlying issues that are greater. One of the most common examples is in gastroenterology with diagnoses of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) that are later determined to be related to hernias. A diagnosis of GERD is accurate, but in these cases it's a symptom of something much more severe.

Three Christs of Ypsilanti. Also since you were caught in the prodrome you can get treated early. 75% of schizos are either independent or mostly independent in their living, and the earlier it's caught the more help you can get. Psychosis is progressive, which is why she said you can prevent "positive symptoms" meaning hallucinations and such.
ALSO: It's not guaranteed this will be permanent. IF YOU CAN PREVENT FIRST PSYCHOSIS IN YOUR EARLY TWENTIES WHEN YOU ARE AT RISK, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OFF MEDS ONCE OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE. DON'T LISTEN TO RETARDS HERE IF THEY SAY IGNORE TREATMENT. IF YOU CAN STOP BEING PERMANENTLY SCHIZOPHRENIC THEN DO IT.

This: A friend of mine was abducted by aliens when he was working on the dog fence in the outback, and he was convinced that the earth was hollow and filled with dinosaurs. This was a one off experience, he acknowledged that he had a nervous breakdown. He went to university and went on to live a normal life, with the exception that he is obsessed with the titanic. A lot of people have mental illness, but they don’t tell anyone and go on to live normal lives.
