I don’t know how people who have hundreds or thousands of followers on social media can keep up with them all😂 like I’d assume you gotta at least be friends with 50 of em or more… I have a hard enough time keeping up with 20 people lol

I had about 800 fb friends before sz but didn’t speak daily to everyone. I immigrated to Canada so some friends were from my natal country. I hanged out with about 25-30 different friends. Everyday there was chilling time. I deleted most of them when in and after psychosis. Now I don’t need them. Now I have about 150 fb friends some are family but I just speak to about 5.
One I speak with daily. One I speak weekly. I could speak to more daily if I wanted but I ignored them bcz they didn’t believe in mental illness and told me to stop my meds, some even said to pray to God instead of taking meds. I also talk to two gaming friends on discord daily.
My brothers have a better social network than me before my sz as they had more time to develop friends. Sz handicapped me socially. I was very social before sz, I was hanging out with different sets of friends in the same day, church friends, high school friends, college friends, university friends, childhood friends, neighbor friends, etc

I get a couple hundred listener emails a month now for The Squirrel. I’ve premade about 80 text responses I cut and paste in replies thanking them for comments. Makes it manageable.

I just use messenger/whatsapp, uninstalled fb and insta. It made me depressed seeing how my previous friends are doing so much better than me in life eventhough I was doing better than many of them before my sz. My best friend is now a cardiologist, another friend is a neurosurgeon.

I am happy for them but I am mad at myself because I can barely get out of bed since having severe negative symptoms. I don’t even care about working with my physiotherapy degree anymore. I just want to go to the gym and hangout with my current friends but I can’t
