I’m not doing well, these days. There’s too much going on with myself and everyone around me.
Feeling hopeless and quite like I’m at the end of life. I’m not moving forward, I’m just existing. I hate just existing and staying alive.
I’m so lost right now, and I can’t do a thing about it. I’m uncertain how much longer I can go on like this.
sorry bunny, i can’t help your situation
except to say that you’re not the only one.
You can do something, volunteer jobs or others. Then you may feel better.
Do you take meds regularly?
I know what u mean my life is the same way. I feel hopeless and helpless.
yeh being schizo is great ain’t it
but they say it’s nobler to carry on
you will die one day anyway, it’s not forever…
@Bunny Sorry you feel this way. When I get into one of my moods I make lists… lists of the good things in my life or of the things I want to do. It’s corny but it helps me. (((Hugs)))

Medication change?
This might sound stupid or inappropriate but I’ll say it anyway. Go out and do something for fun.
It will not solve all your problems but it might ease some of your stress and take your mind off of your troubles, even if it’s just takes your mind off of them for an hour or even a half-hour. Just because we suffer it doesn’t mean we can’t do something enjoyable now and then. I’m sorry your life is TEMPORARILY a little out of control right now.
And I stress the word “temporary” because you have a good chance that your life will get better in the future like many people on these forums.
But anyways, even if you do something as simple as just going to the park and sit on a bench and enjoy the greenery or feed the ducks or pigeons, it would be good for your mental health for you to get your body moving and outside. Take a walk. Sit by yourself in a coffee shop and sip some coffee. Or call someone and vent, you don’t have to tell them specifics but just connecting to someone on the phone might help.
I’m 55 years old, I’ve been up and down and sideways and I’ve felt hopeless many times over the years. So what. It passes. Today it felt like my life was over and done with. People were too cruel and mean.
But I got home from work and drank some 7-Up , said “hi” to my neighbors and got my mail and took a shower. I had dinner, and than my life turned good again. But getting back to the people who were cruel and mean to me. I got to dish it right back to the ones who bothered me… I don’t start trouble. I want to be left alone. And I want do what I want, when I want it. i don’t start trouble.
I’m just a 55 year old guy with a bad back, and a cat that’s afraid of me, lol. But if people desire to feel my wrath I’m extremely happy to oblige. And I will give them an honest bonus and I will laugh at them.
But my past troubles are just that. They are in the past. I paid my dues. Now I am happy just talking to women and making a fool of myself half of the time. Chicks dig that, lol. The guy who puts himself “out there” and aren’t afraid to get laughed at gets the rewards. I don’t mean sex, necessarily. I just mean if you take risks with people and be frindly it makes life a whole lot better. And if you put just a little effort into thinking of other people and saying “hi” and smiling or being considerate and just getting out of your own head to make someone else happy, I guarantee it will make you a little happy too. But enough about me.
Sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and have faith that things will get better. There’s too many examples of this, on these forums. I’m sorry your life is hard right now. Many of us feel the same way you do often.
But just taking some action could improve your life and give you hope and change your life so that your situation gets better. Just do one or two positive things for yourself (or even for someone else!)and your life could drastically change for the better.
