Did you lose any friends due to sz/sza...?

Funny thing is that I had twin schizophrenic friends before. In my head I was like yeah they’re crazy and dirty (they rarely bath and smell bad). Now I am the same!

So you were saying you spend a lot of time in bed …
Was just wondering if you have heard of PSR in your city, maybe you can talk to yer psych Dr for a referral?

My psychiatrist referred me to a social worker but I don’t even have the motivation or feel comfortable to talk to one. I am scared of going out of my parents house and I can’t manage money, I would spend it all in one day and sometimes on illegal things. Money is bad for me, my parents control my money.

Maybe it’s worth a try - are you on Medicare or Medicaid? PSR is a free program – basically a school for wellness …

Yes… all my “relationships” with people I like… I stopped talking to a friend for almost a year because of it but we are talking again… and I think my oldest sister has blocked me because of it…

Yes all of them. The few I had. Most were acquaintances or Facebook friends. 1-2 were cool. 1 moved on or something and hung out with me after I got sick for a few years. I really dont trust anyone except my immediate family. Something I learned in this life and the next.

I know myself, last time I ran from a psychologist, a social worker and an agency that finds work for the disabled. When I saw them I didn’t do what they wanted me to do. No motivation and fear.

I live with my parents, I am 30 y.o. I don’t think I will ever live on my own, I can’t.

I think I might have too.

No one I miss. I still talk to most of my friends even though I hassled most of them with paranoid delusional spiels when psychotic. There were others but I let them go out of my life as they were negative influences and not really friends.

I have lost more friends who had mental illness than normal friends.

Never had a friend circle as such before the SZ. The little people that hung around me left me not because of the condition but because I could not get to go anywhere in the social circles. My career didnt exactly take off and I was without position and importance in society. That is what has lost me friends in the final call.
