You’re far from useless. Despite being one of the more treatment resistant and delusion-riddled people I have ever come across, you’re more coherent and collected than most normies.

I’ve been where you are now…seek close work with your pdoc and see what kind of meds he thinks might pull you out of your funk…it was changing from risperdal to abilify for me…that didn’t work out though, abilify ruined my marriage…I am now on fluphenazine and happy that’s generic prolixin if you’re wondering…I want you to try as hard as you can to see something positive about yourself that you like…do you have any hobbies like drawing or painting?
