Paranoia, mostly… it’s not self sabotage, but the illness. Voices, OCD makes me almost unable to have a conversation without feeling drained after just a few minutes. It does get better now, but I want to see if the meds are stabilizing me. The drawback is the tiredness and fogginess, which makes me unable to have have a clear day schedule. Have to wait and see how the meds are going.

I did forget the meds for two days now and the tiredness is gone. But hope the symptoms don’t come back. Not sure where to start, have to see ‘what happens’, feels like experimenting on myself.

Thinking that your coworker wants to harm you in any way is indeed delusions and paranoia. It is more likely that your coworker wants you to do your part of the job perfectly.

Well i get told it is paranoia but im not convinced.

That’s why schizophrenia is an illness and not the result of stupidity or misinformation. The most insidious part of the illness is that the victim does not know that they are indeed sick. This effect is called anosognosia.

No amount of convincing and proof will make you believe that you are actually safe. This is the real issue and the consequences of the illness. To even have a small chance of ever getting better, you must accept medication and treatment.

I self sabotage in a lot of different ways. It’s frustrating, but I’ve learned to live with it.

Sometimes the voices tell me I am faking it, then I say: well, I heard a voice so I guess I am not. Then they are quiet. I should not do this, because then they do it more. Seems a bit of OCD or neurosis.

I feel this too.

I believe I have been “set up”maliciously by people I worked with and for.

There are not many people I could work with and for.

They are too competitive, jealous, malicious, stuck up and talk down at you and I’m not ok with that not being treated that way.

Some people I can tolerate working with and like them a bit but they are not to boss me about.

Ask do you want to n I say yes or no.

I enjoyed working sometimes and with some people but most people I avoid.

I volunteer worked but was outraged at the way a girl tried bossing me about.
She said do this and pointed her finger.
I said no and quit.

No, i really tried but my schizotypi stood in the way for me. Without this illness i would have had some sort of career, i guess, but cannot be sure, of course.

I self sabotage everything I do. It can be really frustrating. I compulsively push people away.

I blame SZ. 。°。°。°。°。°

I read a tweet today, which made me think: ‘normalize saying no.’
Saying yes doesn’t solve things, sometimes no is more powerful
