Personally I find I don’t get out a lot mostly cause I feel so scared out in the world. Yet staying in my house all the time drives me crazy. Like all I do all day is play video games, watch netflix, and listen to music. I’ve been pushing myself to get out more, like today I went to see my friend at her place. I do see my life coach every week and that’s about it for getting out. Like I don’t have a job or anything at the moment and have been in the house since February doing nothing with no goals. I look at all these people I grew up with and they all have a job or career started, most have a relationship and some even have families. Hell today I was bored and checked and one of my high school bullies who got arrested for selling meth and even he had more good things going for him then I do, (aside from the criminal record). Yet he is still the same jerk that bullied me in high school. I guess it’s a little jealousy of these people too cause I just want to live and not be afraid of everything. I have been pushing myself more and more these past years I just need more confidence. I don’t know and I see all these people and they can socialize with others or talk to others without a problem, where as it takes me like a days worth of preparing just to meet someone or hours just to get the guts to message someone.
Does anyone else feel they miss out on some things in life that seem simple to others?
Yeah, at the moment I also don’t do much outside of my house. I go to the gym and go for walks at night, but since I started becoming ill I have had so much anxiety around other people.
I’m going to see if I can try Klonopin to treat my anxiety and paranoia.
"Do you ever feel your missing out on life?"
yes, I feel that i under-appreciate certain things sometimes and miss out on their true value. like i like watching video game walkthroughs, but i’ve not played video game in sooo long. also, i live in a house now so i can keep a pet; but i haven’t gotten a pet yet.
I also know i could be a lot more healthier. i 'm reckless with my eating, so my health is dangling on my exercise performance. i want to exercise more, maybe even get a good amount of muscle. good health has much benefits, including longevity. i think health also affects my lungs and heart, which i haven’t been so confident with, recently
I feel like “the whip” on that child’s game~ ok ok it’s an ancient one…called “Crack the whip”.
Hehehe, sounds like it should be illegal (probably is) and on the TVshow “Cops.”
Life has tossed me around in it’s Vitamix blender set to purée. Feel like if I died, maybe I finally could get some peace and quiet.
Sheesh, missed out isn’t what I’ve been through, more like been dragged, kicking and screaming the whole 9 yards.
surprisingly… NO i dont feel like im missing out on life
before when i was sick i was thinking that way and i was jealous about other peoples lives
now i dont care
i have everything i need to be happy
now i need stillness in life and modesty
my wishes for life are modest
I had that feeling big time when I was young. When I was at school it was like being in a bakery and having not eaten in a week. I was famished. Now life isn’t so bad for me. I’ve made my peace with life.
I have lived with my parents a lot of my life except for a few years and I’ve lost all of my friends due to this illness plus my drug addiction. I haven’t had a serious relationship or a good career so I do feel like I’m missing out on life. However, I have goals and my health is improving. I am optimistic about a career path I am trying to go down and I am also optimistic about the future I can have despite this illness. I’m going to keep pushing forward and keep trying to make something out of myself so I don’t miss out on the rest of my life.
Yes, I feel I’m missing out on things. But I never wanted to get married and have kids. So mission acomplished there. Schizophrenia might have been a benefit for me in keeping that from happening.
But you shouldn’t want things just because a lot of people have them.
Look at what you can do. Look at what you want. And see if there’s an intersection.
