You don’t have to be proud of someone to love them and care for them. Maybe you could share with them how you feel.

Hey @MeghillaGorilla1 I’m sorry you’re feeling so down. Do you have a trusted family member you could talk to about how you’re feeling? Or maybe a therapist? Sometimes talking things out with someone else can be really helpful.

I thought I had done nothing to make my family proud too. But my mum surprised me one day and told me she is proud of me for battling schizophrenia.

I bet your family are proud of you for doing the same. They have their troubles in life too and they don’t have bipolar with psychotic features and catatonia to deal with so I’m sure the appreciate the uphill battle you’re going through everyday.

I think your right. Bipolar can’t be this bad.

We’ve all felt that way. I told my sister exactly the same thing about twenty years ago. Since then I’ve worked, taken classes, lived independently, etc. My life sucks in so many ways but I have great calm, clear-headed, peaceful moments. It’s a cliche but time can heal a lot of wounds.

Don’t give up MeghillaGorilla1. We still have to find out what the deal with the TRex character in Westworld is. I think we all feel down about our illness sometimes, don’t beat yourself up about it too much.

two “likes” ilovethaifood. I just got into Shameless on Netflix. Waiting for the next Westworld to come out. Thanks

I’ve seen a few episodes of Shameless myself. I saw the first two seasons a few years ago. It’s a good show. As for Westworld, yeah I’ve been following it each week too. It’s little things like that which keep my mind busy enough not to worry so much. Possible spoiler alert:

I suspect the TRex guy is a host version Arnold the other creator

codein is a dead end @anon84763962, when i first got diagnosed I couldn’t cope with some of the negative symptoms and I got into heroin Its a big problem here in the states. Anyway congrats on giving up the codein Its just too damn addictive and it can kill you if you take too much. Ive Overdosed twice accidentally. I hope they come out with better drugs soon like ever hopeful said,

Don’t give up just keep on making those small adjustments to improve your life. I quite smoking weed because I was aware of how bad it was for my lungs I no longer smoke meth or hang out with the people who do I realise what losers they were and know that I can find great success with the support I receive from my family and the foundation that I now have my condition has got significantly better now that I do a little exercise and eat better don’t let them take your life away be strong and keep moving foward and don’t turn back to old ways.

Find your peace somewhere, MG. I’m glad you have your shows and your family. I see how you’ve been battling this for so long and I really look up to that. I think you should talk to your parents. I talked to mine recently and bummed them out a little, but they love me and wanted me to know it. I appreciate that.
