Denial vs acceptance

Lounge

Tomorrow I go for my depot and I feel already depleted. I’ve got to accept that probabbly I’l have to quit my job and that’s scarry thing. Just feel like venting about being zombified.
I am not sure how much longer I can endure this. I feel my body falls apart. Yesterday I had an indigestion. Feels like my body does not want even food as the feeling of shame and remorse guilt settles in.
My parents are in denial, at least my mom, looks like they do not know much about sz, they belive somehow I will recover, thinking rest and food will just do it.
I feel so sorry for them and also for myself.

Did you have to explain to close relatives about sz? Is it good to have a sit and talk to them openly?

Definitely worth sitting down and having a discussion. May help.

I feel like a drag for them, as I know will not be easy for them with me. The state money don’t bring much comfort, are very little money.

Unfortunately the illness is such that you will initially feel a burden. Till you know how to operate around your symptoms, it’ll always be a burden. :frowning:

I get the same feeling as the meds gets into my body. Not much I can do. Powerless and clueless.

I get it. Take your family out for some leisure place and have casual conversation about how the illness is and what we can expect and what to do about it. They will understand and hope they be more empathetic to you.
