What’s the point of doing anything? You wake up, you start your day and then you go to sleep… you piss, poop, eat, laugh, cry, talk, drink, walk, work, take meds, think. And basically Thats all
Then you go to sleep, repeat the hole proces again and again… and for what?
I don’t get it how people can care about anything, I don’t understand the hole proces in wich you first care then you get involved in things.
I was talking to @rhubot and she seems to care about the forum and it’s members. For me it was something unbelievable to see people getting involved in something and actually care about it not just doing it for the money.
It might be apathy or negatives or maybe I just lost intrest in everything, I wonder how long till my wire hits the end and I am just gone…
I can emphasize with your feelings
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of point in life in the end we get really old and stuck in a nursing home BUT have you always felt this way
Has there been time in your life when you’ve enjoyed something
Basically it is your illness talking
I don’t know but I think you should discuss with a nurse or psychiatrist as it may be around your medication
No one out there is having great fun and happiness there are ups and downs
Having schizophrenia sucks though I agree
But we have to hope because we want to get enjoyment out of the short life we got
Well most don’t. Most people with sz don’t have theyr own family or hobbies and don’t work… so what’s the point if you got nothing of what you said. You are lucky, don’t let your success blind you… most people with sz got nothing
Everyone mistakes determination and preparedness for luck. I make my own luck and you can, too. Why do you think I spend so much time here pushing people to work on bettering their condition?
Take meds as directed.
Follow treatment advice.
Do CBT/therapy whenever it’s offered.
Do workbooks if you can’t get access to the above.
Make small achievable lists, nail them, make more.
Try to find ways to push yourself each day.
Keep a recovery journal to track your progress.
Keep a positive, recovery oriented attitude.
This is what worked for me and I’ve seen it work for many others.
You’re lucky if you can work. I just seem to wake up, eat, poop, piss, take meds, and go back to sleep. Repeat that for a few decades and then you die, and then you repeat that process indefinitely until one day you wake up and realize you’re in a damn loop.
I am glad you have the energy and compassion to try to help others. I agree with your list, but Is not the same for everybody, some are born to be poor functioning some high-functioning and I saw that high function sz tend to do things to keep them high functioning
My great grandpa had a word and it goes like this- try to take hair from your palm if theirs not any (sounds better in my language but you got the point.)
I will try to do things of your list that I am not yet doing
I just wanted to say that it was clear during our conversation that there are things you care about, enough to get involved and take action to make things better, enough to defend them passionately when you feel they’re under attack. I was impressed with some of the things you’ve been up to lately.
Oh shoot, I was lucky if I could change my undies without help when first DXed. The most important thing is to try and move forward each day, just pick some small thing you want to improve and hit it like a mutha@#$%. Do that enough days in a row and the positive changes will blow your mind – I promise!
WIshing you luck with whatever steps you are able to take towards recovery and improved quality of life.
