Do you love your life?

I have a good life but I loved my life when I was younger before schizophrenia now I have a lot of problems and things can only get worse for here on out

:star_struck: I can’t tell you how much this resonated with me. Throughout my life, people have simply ignored the issues or threw them out of hand. Only recently, when I have found out what’s going on, have people started saying ā€œYou allow things to affect you this way. Stop it!ā€ or ā€œJust deal with it. I don’t care how.ā€ These were the reasons I haven’t talked to people about it throughout my life. I’m really glad I found a community where I can just talk and not have to worry about it so much.

If they tell you to get over it. Tell em to get under it.

Then see how confuse they get :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I actually did that one time. I do love a good turn of phrase but it was entire taken the wrong way.

The person thought I was requesting relations with them. It was an awkward situation I had to get out of.

I fluctuate back and forth, between love and hate. In some ways I love my life. When I am guzzling a pot of green tea in the morning I often love my life. There are certain aspects of my life I love. I like seeing the wet leaves on the ground on a cool day. I enjoy the simple things. But when people are interfering in my life when they have no right to even know I exist, I start to hate.

I love aspects of my life. Some days are great and others are a struggle.

Honestly I am feeling more gratitude for my life rather than love.

No. I hate my life — I pretend with fake smiles and kid myself - Fake it till you make it

I love life. I don’t like my life though. Still, movies and games and novels and the rest of the stuff this world has to offer are all awesome!

Generally, I think my life is OK, can’t say I LOVE it, right now I’m definitely NOT loving it - I was hoping my Brother would come to visit after the holidays, but he calls the other day and TELLS me he’s coming Wednesday. I’m totally not ready mentally or physically but apparently it’s out of MY hands. FCK. Then my one friend’s been treating me like an invalid, like it’s a problem hanging out with me, plus their getting involved in things better left alone, so life is not too fcking great right about now. Plus it could all be my paranoia blowing it all out of proportion. I hate this sh*t.

I love certain things about my life, but my life is exhausting. I’m in pain, 24/7. Honestly it gets excruciatingly painful and no one wants that.

My life is okay, there’s some things I still get very sad about from time to time.

But I’m trying to figure it all out.

Ya know?

Glad to hear it @anon67051439 . As for me, I don’t know. This new job has been stressful. If I didn’t have to work or had a less stressful job, I probably would feel better. My cognitive and social issues really bother me these days. I’d say those are the main obstacles to me truly loving my life.

It depends a lot on the day. If I’m well rested, and I have something interesting to do, I really appreciate my life. At other times, I can’t sleep for days, and my life seems like a royal f****** mess. I don’t hate my life at those times, but I certainly wish it could be better

It could always be worse
