How do you stop getting down about comparison?

I am glad not everyone has to take antipsychotic but I feel so depressed for me, the only time I function is the mornings, after that I become lazy.

It makes me sad.

So does the reliance on medication.

And who knows what else they do to my body

Hmmm I’m trying really hard to put together the title and the post… :thinking:

You mean how to not compare yourself with some1 that doesn’t take aps?

I think you have to stop playing the game … As long as you play you loose. I’m in a situation and I finally realized there is no winning.

Yes that’s what I meant in summary.

I just feel so sad that my life is passing away.
I wish I was normal.

My ex was normal and I couldn’t keep up

Can you elaborate what you mean by the game?

Sorry …I didn’t read your post. Just the title. I guess you could accept what’s happening in your life… everybody is different and you can’t be what everyone is or wants you to be

In which ways you couldn’t keep up? There are more or less active people out there…

I go through the same thing … today I’m supposed to be working on music but I’m laying on the couch eating ice cream and on this forum. Alot of the time for me it’s just about letting life be what it is. You start to see that all of those ideas of what you should be are part of the problem not some insight into something lacking in you. Just be kind to yourself and try to accept what is…:person_shrugging:t5:

Anyway this year I hope they accept me for therapy.

It could take years to get a place I’m really hoping it’s not the case for me

There was a rich billionaire who gave a million dollars to charity and everyone applauded him. There was also a poor old woman who gave $20 but it was all the money she had. Who gave more? Id say the old lady for sure.

Maybe we people sick with sz can only do so much but its never about how much we give, but how much we give of ourselves :smile::heart:

I have given up my former life. I just can’t exercise and do stuff as I used to.

But with that said. I think you should stop comparing yourself with others.

What’s important is the basics. Keep your home clean. Take care of yourself. Cook healthy food.

If you feel depressed about not having energy perhaps an antidepressant could help you?

I take paxil. I would be a wreck without them. I would start thinking about my situation and illness, about what was lost and it would be a downward spiral. Which in turn would make me depressed.

Even the basics are effort :cry: but yes maybe it could be worse I have to maintain a courageous attitude. But sometimes I just want to be sad like tonight. I had a more rough evening than usual.

But thankyou I agree, keep it basic :ok_hand:

Hah @POET we both know where you stole that little story from :saluting_face::love_you_gesture::yellow_heart::innocent:

@Zoe I’m also disappointed in my lack of social skills and my low energy. It’s tough being around healthy and active people, especially if they are the same age or even older than us.
Heck, sometimes even dad shows more drive than me, he’s 74 :astonished:

I am trying to make peace with my limitations. Feeling otherwise wouldn’t help at all.

Yes, they are. That’s why it’s important to focus on these things rather than thinking about having bigger accomplishments. Keep it basic. The rest don’t matter.
