do you find this illness stressful

Yes, outside stress affects my SZA but this disorder produces its own stress constantly.
It never ends for me.
And you wonder why Schizophrenics die 15 to 20 years earlier than the General population.

Yes, I’m having such problems with stress lately.
My hair is falling out from it, not to mention the insomnia, chronic pain and exhaustion.

Last night I was forced into a trance state while some thing molested me and the whole thing was incredibly reminiscent of that first time I was abused by something years ago. I’m terrified it may be starting again and that I’m at fault. Yes I would call that stressful.

I have not been Dx’d with sz (yet???) amd hope i am not. official diagnosis isMDD. I have paranoia(controlable) and hallucinations(hate em).
So far, even though it has been tough, i often find life itself has been harder than MDD. (or whatever this is)
There are too many problems to be solved. The problems are too large.
Ask about any rotten thing you had happen to you, and i probably got some level of experience with it.
I am really tired of of problems.
Yes,everyday. Its more so stressful with the paranoia and the voices.
My stress has been way over the top at times

When I run out of meds I feel like punching the wall
No, it’s a piece of cake. I say give me more symptoms. Please have the world pile as much s*it on my shoulders as it possibly can and I’ll love it. And then pile on 50 tons more. I can’t get enough of this crap.
More delusions, more paranoia, I say.
Lovin’ life.

I feel live is stressful in general…schizophrenia makes it worse
Yes. I can’t be happy for extended periods of time because negative/paranoid/anxious thoughts come up and steal my happiness. It’s exhausting and stressful.
I’m surprised I lived this long. I think my body is incredibly strong…ironically. I wonder when or if it will finally kill me.
The looking down on you,distrust on you because you have Mental illness is stressful
