Is there a help line you can phone to talk about your feelings? Don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t destroy the house. Schizophrenia is one of the worst psychiatric illnesses to happen to people. If your friends and brothers had it, they would be in the same boat, or possibly they’d be hospitalized.

They have no time for me when they’re at work. I am bored alone all day at home. I walked inside for 45min earlier maybe I should walk again. Its too cold with snow to walk outside.

Isolation is no fun. When do you see your doctor again?
Is it super cold where you are? I found it great to get out yesterday, even though my eyes ran rivers down my face. The wind was nasty, but when I got back inside, I felt much better. Cold can get the blood pumping.

I have all of these and I revisit them regularly:

I do ongoing maintenance on anger issues. I’m very aware that I have suffered the kind of trauma that never heals the way you need it to and there is always going to be some white-hot anger buried and waiting to come out. All it takes is for one good crack to appear in my mantle and the volcano blows. These books are full of exercises that help me keep cracks from forming and let off pressure safely when they do.
I also see a therapist once a month, but I have bumped it up to twice a month right now as things aren’t going well in my personal life and I am under stress. I am also trying to avoid punching walls.

I would recommend the breathing technique where you breath in for a short time and then exhale for a much longer time. It helps with anxiety and self control.
It also helps to combat rumination or negative thinking by changing your attention to something else.
I have been there, angry and even punched a wall once.
In my opinion anger is normal, it is a lack of self control that is not.
I cannot control myself when it happens, due to the imposed effects. So I really don’t have any expectations to other people with this disease to have control either.
I have to say, being at work was a even worse experience than schizophrenia. But maybe other people have it better in sane job prospects.

Can you pinpoint why you can’t work. Is it concentration or energy.
Are there any jobs around you that seems simple enough to do even minimum wage jobs?

Oh no its not because of that I am not angry at people, I have always been jealous of people who work. If I can work I would be happier.

Yep count your blessings if you dont have to work. Imagine if your just barely functional enough for work that you cant get disability because your deemed functional enough and you need money to pay rent and bills etc.
Theres always someone with a different situation.
And also theres a massive amount of normies that hate there job everyday.

Maybe your stuck on the “traditional work” job idea.
Your smart right? You like studying right? Take your free time as an opportunity to learn stuff on the computer like AI tools.

In my case I’m not thrilled about working in the insurance industry, but it turns out that I’m good at it so I’m stuck here.
