Do you ever feel like your mental illness will be with you for life?

As you probably know, I have paranoid schizophrenia.

I've been told by many psychiatrists that I will hear Voices for the rest of my life.

I keep trying to get my hospital admissions sorted and never go back to hospital again, but I just know I'll be in and out of them for a while to come now...

What do you feel about your mental illness? Do you think it will go away or do you feel like its a life sentence (and I'm not talking just 25 years here)? Or have you recovered completely from a mental illness?

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
