Feeling terrible. Really lonely. About four stone overweight. Depressed. Haven’t achieved anything in life.
Can anyone make me feel better?
Maybe go to your favorite store? Like Target? That makes me feel better.
It’s very late here in the U.K. I’m just lying on my bed waiting until I feel tired do I can go to sleep.
You’re describing the feelings of a lot of us. Just remember, the game is not up yet. You still have time to be amazing. You can support other depressed people. You can make a contribution to the world. Remember, it doesn’t always have to be so bad.

Look, life is not over. You always have a chance to improve.
Why are you overweight? Is it due to your lifestyle or due to APs?
If it’s due to lifestyle you can try to change it. If it’s due to APs you can maybe try to switch medications
to lessen the side effects or even quit APs altogether, but then you will be at risk of intrusive thoughts
and psychosis unless you manage to find non-medicative methods to control the symptoms.
Remember, that even if things look bleak now, your situation can drastically improve in the future.

Thanks Chess24. I’m starting a diet tomorrow.
Thanks Pianogal. Has it got better for you?
Yes. I was suicidal for many years. Now, my life has changed drastically and I want to live
Yeah how long were you suicidal for? What changed?
From age 16 to 37 I was suicidal and was constantly in and out of the hospital that whole time from attempted suicides. But I got out of my abusive first marriage (my home life as a kid and teen were really bad too) and married my current husband. I have love in my life now. I’m still being followed and recorded but I have support now. I also support my husband and show him love and kindness as well.

Going to try my best to make a fresh start tomorrow. I get my injection the depot one. Going to start new diet. Go for long walk. Practise art. I really can’t motivate myself to have a bath though. I felt fine a week ago.

Very lonely. Have no one to talk to. None of my friends seem to be online or answering texts. Absoloutely desperate.
I have felt quite bad and later in life I am sometimes happy. Eventually you might hear from the people you are trying to contact. I also like walking around in stores, like flowers20 said above.

How long were you feeling down for?
a long time sadly enough… took me a long time to get better.
CBT and psychology might help

That’s not too bad, to be overweight. I would try a better diet and walk a little each day. Good for depression. I wouldn’t worry about being successful. I think it’s a miracle if someone with schizophrenia is successful. You should just be concerned with making your life happier.
