I’m disatified in life.
It’s like all ambition, every dream and all future died with schizophrenia.
I’d missed out on so much.
It seems like everyone has better life’s,
It’s always my continuous struggle, to go against the tide.
Everyone in poverty thinks similar things.
The world surely told us everything they want and many believe.
The despair is great

I think a lot of us feel like that. At least sometimes.
But so do people without schizophrenia. Life is tough.

I had a horrible life before my schizophrenia diagnosis. And I have a better life since. Schizophrenia is an awful disease, but your life can improve even if you have it and still suffer from it.
I’m told that being followed and recorded by Navy SEALs is a delusion. I take APs, and still experience the fear and paranoia associated with that.
But, my new med calms me down enough to leave my home on my own a bit after not being able to for 9 years. I’m still paranoid and scared, but I’m feeling like if I stick to close, public, familiar places, I might be ok. This is progress for sure!
Also, I got married to a second, and much better husband after my diagnosis. So my life has improved in that way too.
My point is no matter how bad it is, and for how long it’s been that bad, it can get better. Keep up with treatment, see a therapist, work on yourself, and most of all don’t give up!

So what are you going to do about it? Because the only person who can or will fix this is you.

Going against the tide is a good term… focus on it and I am sure life has some good things to offer as well…
Yeah it’s really sad. It’s like certain life paths are just not accessible, depending on how bad it gets. And you can end up trying and working a lot harder for less results than someone who has no issues at all. I guess we can only do the best for what we are able to do though. It’s an unfair disadvantage, but life isn’t fair in general. Some people get everything while others get a ton of problems from birth. Just try to play the cards in your hands as best you can.
Same. But now that I have a way to express myself through art, it’s much better now psychologically. I just have no time to make art right now because of school.

Oh I’m sorry. Can you spend one hour on the weekend on art @whirling-leaves ?
Probably after my assignments and zoom call about a team project! Last semester is quite busy!
