I’m trying desperately not to go into a depression but I feel it comming on. I feel alone, bored and i feel no matter how many people I talk to I still feel empty. As I look around I see people from all walks of life on the internet going through similar things no one to talk to bored lonely. But for me I spend alot of time alone dont have no where to go no place to be I’m just here. Since I’ve been diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression it’s just hard adjusting until this day of not working I miss being busy. But I am very thankful for my life cause things could be worse could be homeless etc. Struggling right now.

I’m kinda in the same place but I put the problem off with alcohol, Alcohol isn’t the solution, It’s temporary and it eventually makes things worse, Just be happy to be on top of the food chain.

I tried drinking, I tried smoking, I tried talking then I tried to end it. I know none of these things work I guess I have to wait it out.

I know it sounds ■■■■■■ up but feel me, Maybe you just need to truly suffer, You say that you have until your realize there are 10 more levels. I’m upfront and rude but for the greater good.

I’m depressed too. We’re all in this together. I have schizo-affective disorder so I’m more prone to depression.

I know I dont got it as bad as alot of people I thank God for that because I think if my life was worse I couldn’t handle it. God said he only puts on us what we can bear.

I deal with depression a lot, too. It is a major part of my sza. If this doesn’t go away then maybe a med change is needed. Be sure and talk to your pdoc about it. Hope you feel better soon.

After my psychosis and when my mind stabilized I got hit with a severe depression and had to get on Wellbutrin which made things better. I was on 200mg and now I take 50mg. I tried going lower but my depression came back. I try to stay active and busy by going to the gym 3 - 4 days a week, reading books, listening to podcasts, talking to friends and hanging out with family. I want to completely get off Wellbutrin but no luck yet because my depression is still lingering. I don’t know how long this will last but hopefully with time it goes away completely. Just hang in there because it will get better with time.
