I’m 47yrs, it’s almost half life while I have schizophrenia.
Who cares about it? Nobody.
My family was all about getting me into treatment 23yrs ago. Now they don’t even call…
I’m feeling a bit detached from society, yet not hanging around internet.
Stay up the early hours, in solitude and thoughts.
Don’t even like the idea of meeting someone.
This is the only site I visit, no games, tv, just sz and me.
This is my story, if you find interested to talk, feel free…
I am about the same grim milestone. 16/17 I got psychosis, and now 17 years later here I am
Not let it beat me completely
Sure it has been challenging, but what isn’t
It’s 41 years for me. I got sick in 1980 at age 19. I’m avoiding people more than I did just a few years ago but I still get around.
I’m 43 years old now. I started to struggle when I was 15 years old with social phobia, and about six months later I struggled with major depression. Then at 19 I struggled with sz. No matter how bad it gets I am not giving up.
Hey @77nick77, you seem to be “music” man for long time.
I’m quite in music also. Do you think that it helped you…
This days I’m into Coltrane…
It seems like good therapy…
Yeah, music helps; it’s better than silence. I listen to anything from Johnny Cash to Frank Sinatra to No Doubt.
Haha,… Ok, you are boss
I saw today that Pink Floyd song text
I’ve been diagnosed/medicated since 15, I’m 57 now. Banging around from doc to doc most of my life, properly medicated only in the last 10 years. Did I say properly? Enough, I guess.
Yes, I didn’t count 16 depression and 19 borderline dx…
Life stops at sz…
Hey @anon42606141 I could have typed that list to describe my life. I’m 44 and my illness makes me lonely cause of the social isolation. When I am around people things go badly. All I want to do is run and be away from them. It really is a mind **** Cause I don’t want to be lonely.
I just changed my phone number so very little people I have known can contact me.
15 I was on AP Mellaril for violence and rages
For some reason I thought this was going to be a half life equation for being sick
Hope you are doing okay zoa
