I am giving up hope to be with a woman long-term. A woman who knows me well and I know her well. A woman I can talk to. A woman I can physically touch, hug and put my arms around. It’s terrible, horrible and sad to be so alone. I am close to giving up hope.
There’s somebody for everybody out there @anon5716216. I found my wife from an online ad, I told her I was sz at the end of our second date, and we just celebrated 10 years of marriage a few months ago.
Try to expand your horizons. Get out of your comfort zone. Put ads up on online dating sites. Go out and meet people. If you see someone who catches your eye, don’t be afraid to go up and talk to them. What’s the worst they can do? Tell you to go away? Who cares. Plenty of fish in the sea, and there’s one for you, you just have to look.

Thanks for the encouragement @anon40540444 but as a schizophrenic, finding a woman whom I want to be with and she wanting to be with me is extremely difficult. Majority of schizophrenics are guys and most are receiving income from the government and unemployed. These are attributes unattractive to a majority of women. I don’t trust dating sites; however, I have gone out of my comfort zone to meet people doing other activities. The whole Internet dating thing is mostly a scam IMHO.
Haha, I won’t argue that dating sites seem kinda scammy. There’s a website called nolongerlonely.com for those with MI who are looking for a partner. Maybe that’s worth something to you, I don’t know. You just have to keep trying, be creative. There’s someone out there for you man, I’m telling you. 
I already went to that dating website for those people who have mental illnesses. A few drawbacks is that the people on there are scattered throughout this planet living in different countries and time zones. Another drawback is you have to pay to actually meet someone. I believe in statistics & probability and the odds are against schizophrenic men.
If you want something enough, you will find a way to get it. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. Hell, the older I get, the more I see how little I know. I wish you well man. Everyone deserves happiness.

Thanks man, I wish you the best as well. Maybe I should find an Asian woman who doesn’t mind having a schizophrenic partner. At least she will accept me for who I am unlike normal women who don’t even give me the time of day.
Sorry @rogueone. Got tunnel vision trying to help someone and lost sight of the intention of the thread. To you and the OP, I apologize. Now, back on track…

Don’t give up hope. I think I was feeling a little despair when I replied to you the other day.
I agree with Alien though, I think there is someone out there for everyone.
A lot of women don’t care about money, they just want a good guy.
Keep your head up.

I was at that point and then out of nowhere I was introduced to the love of my life…I didn’t even realize he would be that to me at the time…but now we are together almost 2 years and have plans to move in together and eventually marry.
I felt so broken like no one could possibly ever put up with me or love me for who I am. But he does and let’s me know it every chance he gets. The right person for you will love you for all of you. Don’t give up, there really is someone for everyone, it may just not be the time for your special someone to come into your life yet.

I had a gf before sz but now I can’t even get out of bed, I gave up on not only women, but also on health, exercising and on working. If I can’t take care of myself, how will I be able to take care of someone else? I die without my family and I have no income, no disability bcz I live with my parents and can’t take care of myself. I am 30 and will live the rest of my life with my family.
My gf left me bcz of sz but my family didn’t so now I know who loves me more. A gf will always leave you if your symptoms are severe like me.
If you’re working you have a big chance of finding a partner. Don’t stress, many healthy ppl with no mental illness are single and happy. I know someone who makes 500 000€ yearly and he always smile and makes jokes, he has so many friends around the world. He’s a computer programmer for the government and very smart, speaks 7 languages and teaches violin as a hobby. He was working for Microsoft before and had an meeting with Bill Gates.
