Do you believe you have lived in a state of hell?

Please don’t bring up religion. Hell in general doesn’t have to be the specific one from the Bible.

I believe I’ve lived a hellish existence for a number of years and can’t quite describe it because it was so painful.

  • Yes, I’ve been in hell
  • No, haven’t been in hell
  • I have no clue what you mean
  • I’m super high functioning don’t have time worry about these types of things

We are all in hell. Isn’t it obvious.

I’ve been in hell. It’s my opinion that earth is either hell or purgatory. I know who runs this world and it isn’t a benevolent being.

I was in hell with a 8-9 / 10 chronic headache for 3 years, on top of SZ symptoms. Only recently has it been subsiding.

Sz is bad, but I lived a pretty decent life throughout. Mentally I have had it hard but my life has been easy to make up for it. Life is full of positive and negative things. And the thing about negative things is you can always learn from them.

I think our perception of "hell"in our lives is usually shifted when things go right and we find pleasure- after all it is what we are here for, to survive and avoid pain. So saying that, we call our lives hell for (given reason) we shift our view negatively to the point where you won’t see the good in life. Would I consider my life hell? No, not really, because hell in definition is punishment after death… I do see pain and suffering in my life, but I also see the beauty of being able to grow from that pain… I’m rambling. But yeah thats pretty much it…

Being in psychosis feels a bit like hell.

There have been some parts of my life that have been hellish in the past, and I guess certain aspects of it are hellish now. But I don’t feel like my life has been a waste, and there are parts of it I like.

I’ve been trying to explain to myself the 4th option of the poll. I came to the conclusion that it was just something that popped into my head and means nothing. Sorry if it bothers anyone.

I’ve tasted hell, haven’t been though. :upside_down_face:

I’m high functioning, but that doesn’t automatically discount hellish times.

For me being able to communicate like a toddler, being 300 lbs with an extreme appetite, being harassed by voices, extreme headache, all I did was walk in circles. I felt I had to relearn everything.

Yeah I’ve been through hell. When sz first started I felt like I was in literal hell, but there have been several hell times since then too.

I was in hell on the installment plan during my first two years after being diagnosed. It was more like a province though. Whatever it was, I did not like it.

My cousin went to hell on a scholarship.

Psychosis was a nightmare deep in horror and gore…just like hell as I would imagine it…

I am happy now though for my AP’s.
