I’m fighting big time. Suicidal thoughts coming. Talking to a friend helped a little. But boy this is rough!!! This illness is really tough. Big love to anyone fighting this battle.

For me it’s a vicious circle of paranoia anxiety depression

depression is a big part of this illness. It’s hard not to get depressed when you are going through endless schizophrenia.

It’s hard to get through the day sometimes

totally agree… I’m having one of those days yesterday and today. Took a two hour nap yesterday and didn’t sleep well last night…

I feel like a cat… just lazing the day away… can’t do much of anything

I had a flare up of symptoms yesterday so feel depressed today
Christmas and new year are hard because brother and sister and their kids come over

I know what you mean. After a flare up of symptoms it can be rough. Easy to get depressed or scared that more symptoms might come up again. Too much activity can induce stress which makes symptoms worse. The next three days may be rough for me. New Years and my girlfriends birthday but I don’t want to do much of anything.

I live alone so my siblings stay at my parents and I have to go over
You are exactly right I worry about flare ups
I deal with it by repeating positive thoughts to myself

Wish the best to you @VanDam and @shellys12. Yes, it can be pretty hard to deal with at times. Hope you can find a way to feel better soon.

I hate to hear anyone having that fight. My cycle is voices and/or images then anxiety then depression. You’ll make it through, just hang in there.

I experience these powerful energies which enter my consciousness and totally throw me off balance and put my focus “on the moon” as my friend put it.

Then I have depression and anxiety that it will come back. I have to be on the defensive.

It’s definitely a daily struggle with sz. The thoughts, the anxiety, the depression and everything else all mixes together and gets overwhelming really quickly. Keep fighting the good fight and hang in there. You can do it.
