With the dullness, living with insurance getting cut off if you make too much money, life being dull. What gives you a reason to live? What do you even do without a license or car? Without money? without anything good? Being a literal crazy person? Awkward interactions, being “■■■■■■ in the head”. Why live? I don’t have a real reason and do have recurrent non hallucination thoughts telling me to kill myself.

I know the feeling. And why even keep on fighting, its not like its ever gonna get better. Going through life with a broken mind.
I can’t live a traditionally normal life at the moment but that doesn’t stop me living, even with schizophrenia. I’m on a pension, I’m 48 and I live with my parents. What I do is keep busy doing things that are interesting to me.
I play competitive cricket at my age. I exercise a lot although I’ve really been ramping that up recently. I do a couple of days of four hours or so volunteering at my cricket club. I know how to prepare a high quality turf wicket and pass the time helping the groundsman doing mowing and other tasks.
I’ve done normal since being diagnosed. I’ve been married and worked successfully but these days I live without the stress of work and keep busy! That is the key. Find something worthwhile doing and keep busy!

You cud join meetup website and see if there’s some groups for people struggling with depression anxiety or schizophrenia. U cud even join a dancing group where they just dance how they want for a hour or so if u had the confidence. Finding people to relate to might give u more excitement
life is boring. all i do is stay inside and play video games and watch youtube

When I’m stuck alone inside myself I feel the same way. Seeing others succeed in life doing what they love, or strong people pushing through struggles with a positive attitude is what motivates me and gives me hope for myself and a better, happier life. I can get far more depressed and low than anyone I know but I think in the end it’s the connection to others that keep us feeling fulfilled and happy.
