Honestly. I couldn’t really have decent relationships with women till I got on the meds. I had so much latent paranoia and stress that it was impossible. So yes. It’s possible totally. All’s I would say is you have to practice to get better at social things so dating isn’t so bad…you learn from your mistakes if your smart enough.
Big things with relationships are listening. You listen and learn about people. Remember things about them and they appreciate that. I’m not saying it’s easy to become a social animal overnite but put some steps into practice. One positive thing a day is my new mantra.
Most peoples favorite subject is themselves. What do they like? If you like reading what books do you like? Oh I read that one…I liked it. I thought it was pretty good. Hey do you know about Author B. I think you might like their works…Conversations should move and grow.
I know it’s not easy but trying and putting yourself out there really teaches you to learn quickly. You lose nothing from trying.
Yes, I have schizophrenia, and yes I have five kids. It’s possible. I only recommend this if you have a proper support system, and are stable. I’ve had a few bumps on the road, but it has been okay.
