Hey there. I take cymbalta for my depression. I haven’t had depression in a while now. Do you take an antidepressant?
I’m having a hard time accepting my schizo. Like everyone is telling me to pray to God and he will take it away. I hate that I have it. I feel really lonely most of the time. Can’t hold a job because of my schizophrenia. Life just sucks right now.

Did you go to the hospital?
Yes I take Zoloft and it helps most of the time but right now I’m just going through a lot and so I feel really sad.

Yes! And I sat in a bed for 2 hours and was never seen. Not even by a nurse, my mom and I were very upset about it so we left. I see my pdoc next week so hopefully I get answers then.

I’m so sorry you’re going through a hard time. Know that you matter and we’re glad you’re here. I know how that feels tho.

Thank you, i’m trying my best to over come all this but it just seems to be to difficult. I suppose to be going to group therapy everyday but just don’t have any motivation. I have individual therapy every 2 weeks that honestly isn’t helping. I just don’t know what to do.

I would love to chat, I’m bored and feeling down.
Anything you wanna talk about other than schizophrenia? I can tell you my schizophrenia improved a little after onset, my paranoia and delusions went away with treatment. I still hallucinate daily and I have reduced cognitive functions. I was told delusion in the hardest symptom to get rid of so I guess I should be happy, but hallucinating and having constant trouble focusing or concentrating still sucks.

Yeah my schizophrenia is pretty much the same. It’s all a working progress.
What kind of music do you listen to?
And how come your down?

I love alternative rock. I grew up listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Third Eye Blind, and stuff like that. Today there’s groups like Grouplove, Awolnation, imagine dragons and others that I like.
I guess I’m down because I feel like I won’t ever recover from the negative symptoms, which make it harder to focus and concentrate. I don’t like the idea of not being as smart as I used to be.

Dude I love Red Hot Chili Peppers! And alternative rock is one of my favorite. You ever hear of Blue October? They are my all time favorite band!
And i’m feeling the exact same way. I feel like I will never recover, that i’ll keep battling the same bad symptoms forever and will never have a normal life.
There was a time in 2008 my then-wife took me to the hospital, only to have the nurse and doctor treat us like we were a couple pill junkies trying to score a script. All I wanted was help. This was during my third psychotic break. I was out of my damn mind at the time.

I can’t stand it when the world judge us and don’t give us a chance. Makes it harder to recover!
Do you know it’s Mental Health Awareness month and I haven’t heard or seen anyone on Facebook, instagram, or Snapchat talk about it! But if it was cancer or autism they would be all over it. Mental is just as bad as physical!

They don’t talk about it because it isn’t as sexy or profitable.
Don’t let it get you down.
Same here they think it’s all to get attention.

It just gets me upset that there isn’t and support or awareness unless you go to a psych clinic/hospital. It’s like if it was something negative to talk about.
