We must always try to move forward, especially in this time of so many medical advances.
I am personally making every effort to have the KarXT medication as soon as possible. I will have to go to court, but from what my lawyer told me, it is very possible. Never give up!

Well, you can’t change everything and live a perfect life, you will always have problems and struggles. But there are some things you can change. It’s possible to lose weight on meds. I’ve lost weight on prolixen and resperidone. It took a commitment and discipline and changing my eating habits.
You can exercise even if it’s just walking around your neighborhood or your street. There’s other things you can do. You go to a group, why can’t you extend yourself a little and ask someone out to coffee? No telling where it might lead, it might lead to a friendship.
I was dealt a bad hand too but I went to groups, vocational programs and day programs. They kept me busy and I got a few jobs and friends out of them. Take a class, even if it’s only an online class, at least you’ll be doing something productive.
The other people are right, people can help you in a limited way but ultimately it’s up to you to make changes. How about Adult Ed? That’s a good way to have fun and meet people. There’s nothing wrong with having some fun no matter how miserable you are or how bad your life is.

There are things that are unfixable. There are other things you haven’t tried yet that may be as good or better, but you won’t know if you don’t get off your tuckus and get to it.

Maybe you could recalibrate. Lay down and think of things you could do to get caught up or on a better track. Showering and getting my hygiene caught up is how I like to start. There are usually things that need to be done that could improve my life. Other than that maybe you could talk to someone or talk to your doctor about meds idk. Schizophrenia hits everyone different so I can’t really tell you what to do. Just stuff that works for me.

All I can think of is how I’ll have to work every day for the rest of my miserable life until I drop dead at work in a few decades and it really depresses the hell out of me.

Find some ways to make it fun, or find some fun moments when you’re not working.

Yeah that sucks. A lot people probably feel that way about work. Pretty much the only good thing about schizophrenia for me is I don’t have to work.

Have you forgotten you’re getting paid for it? That should soften the blow just a little.
Not to mention it gives you a routine and gets you out of the house and around people.
It would most likely just be enough to pay my bills and buy groceries. Maybe. And I’d have to eat a lot of Ramen.
Work will keep you busy, but you will likely be miserable.
I’m just treading water in life right now.
Not working not doing anything. Kind of like it but it is also kind of killing me
you can’t fix schizophrenia
I think people should be allowed to complain about it
They should try and keep it to a minimum, but if they need to vent that’s part of what this forum is for I would say

Sure, but’s wrong with giving him a few ideas from our experience to change his situation? That’s also part of what this forum is for.

Well I guess so, I’ve just been numbed by the dozens of people who seem to filter me out. I guess I’ll add my two cents to be fair
If you want to do well get on a good anti psychotic and accept some of the weight loss. That’s my advice. Don’t try to find purpose in things, disavow all beliefs in psychics and mediums and the supernatural, and don’t tell people you’re sick. Do your best to regain as much function as possible. I’m currently at a job where they do not know about my illness. It’s part time though so it’s secretly perfect for me.

I’m constantly trying to make psychological changes but have a very hard time with lifestyle changes.

I feel like it’s an ongoing process (trying to fix it) by that i mean. a large chunk of it, is definitely to be patient with oneself and the world we live in (if you can afford to be).
I’m looking for subjects that I can pursue academically to go into academia for a career. as I think it’s the least stressful kind of employment (teaching).
