Every since i got on disability i have been home almost all day every day. I just started getting out a little but when i do delivery. Its so hard tl be home all the time. It would be better if i felt interested in things. But i never feel like doing anything.
I have been missing having a significant other too. It would be really nice to have someone to talk to all the time and cuddle with on a rainy day.
Life is just hard. But i guess it beats working and getting stressed and paranoid.
I’m comfortable at home. However, I’m married and I love my husband. I also have kids. So I can only imagine how hard life would be without them. I’m sorry you’re lonely.
Im so lonely! I have my parents but my dad likes to read a lot and my mom works all day and usually sleeps on her days off. Right now im just sitting in a dark room watching football. I am really missing being in love.
I’m so sorry. Can you join something so you can make friends and maybe meet someone some day?
I’m sorry @pasteyface
I just signed up on a dating app. I never have much luck with them though.
Best of luck to you @pasteyface
I’m at home 90% of the time, but it’s because I have crippling social anxiety lol
Yeah i feel you with the anxiety. I get really nervous talking to people. I always feel like they are judging me.
I also feel judged when I go out…I have to keep reframing my thoughts constantly when I’m in public and it wears the hell out of me!
I know what u mean. Im in a one room house alone for about 23 hrs and 50 minutes of every day except the days i go to the store. I’ve pretty much spent the last 11 years like this. It’s getting real old. But idk what to do about it anymore. I should have gotten a job at 19, now I’m 35 and lost the little bit of social skills i had.
Before schizophrenia I longed to have a girlfriend but now that Ive been single for 13 years I dont care at all anymore too much trouble for what its worth I dont need some chick yelling at me because Im too lazy to do the dishes (negative symptoms)
They’re useless these days. Can you start with half a day a week of volunteering? You’ll make new friends and learn new skills. Get rid of some boredom.
I could volunteer but i know myself well enough that id stop going almost immediately
I spend much time at home as well. But sometimes I meet up or go for a walk or swim.
I am so happy we got the internet. Don’t know what i would do instead. Maybe camping, hiking or get a job. I feel too its hard staying home, glad the lockdown is over or worse beeing in prison.
@irrelevant , if you get a volunteering job, you can learn new skills and meet people. It’s not good to be that alone that much.
