I get depressed about being so dysfunctional. I guess the dysfunction is due to schizophrenia. Some of the things my disease does to me are humiliating.
Sometimes it makes me sad and depressed. I have accepted my diagnosis and how sick I have been. It’s horrible to think of, but I’ve moved on from that, eventhough I still have symptoms and anxiety, but I can live with that. What makes me really sad now, is that sz will always follow me everywhere I go. I feel like I’m guilty of something I couldn’t prevent. I’m damaged.
I don’t know if I have a mood disorder or not. I get depressed at night for no reason, but then sometimes I also get depressed just because of my delusions of guilt (or because I’m really a bad person and can’t stop being that - I’m not sure which). I went for a long time without really wanting to kill myself (most of the time) but thinking that I had to kill myself because I’d let my brain get so corrupted.
I get depressed too about being schizo. I can’t seem to find peace. The voices aren’t constant but they are painful, telling me I am dead, gonna die, going to hell.
I know others have had the same symptoms and hallucinations but that feeling of belonging seems to slip away and I start thinking I am different and that the voices are telling me the truth, that Jesus will send me to hell unless I start obeying his voice commands. It gets me down.

Lately the anger and rage at my diagnosis of schiz has waned. I’m more embarressed than anything now and disconcerted at my cognitive deficits… overcoming my own stigma/self imposed limitations is my new project.
‘my life’ - what exactly is/was that? Just asking. People use that phrase in a broad way as if there’s some kind of consensus to what that means, but ask anyone on the street and they won’t be able to answer it.

Can you see this as an idea / thought / appraisal / evaluation? If you can see it that way – instead of as something actual – you may be able to climb out of the hole that idea is digging.

As a nihilist and atheist I believe that’s up to the individual to decide what the meaning of their life is and what values anything in it have and they need to respect everyone else’s or stop having any of that.
As much as I believe nothing has any inherent meaning or value, I also know all too well you can’t go through life like that with no meaning at all for anything because it tends people towards depression and worse.
please dont get depressed god will help u
I am not depressed just wasted
I loathe my illness because they hit me rape me and do nothing but scream and accuse me all day. I don’t know why I keep going sometimes…but I don’t give into their demands.
It sounds like you need to up yor meds. You shouldn’t have to deal with all those voices.
Maybe youre treatment resistant? They’re coming out with a new med for that its called Lu AF35700. Its kind of like clozapine with less side effects from what I’ve heard.
I don’t get depressed. Maybe people think I’m depressed but I’m not.
I think schizophrenia is an awful disease. We need new meds for negative symptoms and cognitive impairments.

I feel like I will never have the normal life that I always wanted. Devastated to say the least.
Nope, I was relieved when I found out. I was 100% positive I was dying of a brain tumor when I was Dx’ed. I suppose I’m lucky though,my symptoms are generally light or things I have been dealing with for a long time. Knowing I’m schizophrenic allows me to know what to expect, which allows me to cope.
