So when I start to complain a bit(which I try to do less), she says that ill never recover cause I don’t go out… Is it a normal reaction from her part? I try to acceot the things just as they are. suffer less on the past. But I still cant sit on a coffee with friends or just hand out in the center city…
I just went out today to the beauty shop for 15 minutes, but I was rushing. always rushing…

and what if I cant sometimes? What if I can sit calmly on a chair cause my mind will blow out by fear and I am jiggling on the chair? why don’t you stop being schizophrenic @Om_Sadasiva? I guess you are out of trouble now to speak like this no? yeah… its always easier for the stabilized schizophrenics… I just want to feel something normal after 2 decades of craziness. and sorry if I am bad now. I was like a soldier for all this time, it sucks.
I understand you but you have to push yourself to go out.

Practice might help you learn better coping techniques as time passes.
But, your mother is not right to say those things.
She sounds frustrated, though. Have the two of you had a talk about how she feels about what you’ve been going through, and why she says such things?

I know it is hard and she shouldn’t expect you to get better, but she is right to push you. Sometimes we need people around us to push us if we are to get better.

Yeah, but @anon9798425, my mom says that theres none schizophrenic who has recovered. That only the active ones have some chances of better quality of life…
I went out today, but I was always rushing cause I don’t feel calm still. But I find my meds are working. I am like foggy in the day, but calmer maybe… Maybe I need time etc. I try to go out but its often fastly and not with my friends. You know, I feel paranoid even from what they can say out loud in public wow…
@Berru, my mom says that she believed in the beginning of my treatment but not after 10 years have past while I was on all kind of medications. But for me, I was just in another world before…I find myself better now, but yeah, when I start to complain, she is fastly pissed off…

Yeah that is a normal reaction from parents. I hate it as much as you do. My father was good for this.

Some people with sz recover, but it is usually the ones who just don’t give up trying. You have to be active. You have to push yourself. But you have to do it in baby steps, bit by bit, and just be patient and see how far it gets you. You did great today just going out, because that was hard for you and you had to push yourself. You should be happy with this and feel good that you did it.

yes, I am happy. But now I turned in rage and jealousy here. I still regret the past years. Its been too much time for me in isolation. I even forgot when I was normal for the last time in my life… and then I went crazy for a guy…
My dad is a ass a lot of times. Telling me to get a job and go to the gym and meet normal people and this and that. He reminds me of Dr. Phil

At the end of it all, your mom wants the best for you, but it doesn’t sound like she expresses it very well.
If you are experiencing discomfort from going out, that’s not entirely a bad thing, because it means you are pushing your comfort zone. You will have to push your comfort zone in order to make changes.
So, you did good.

Well, I went out today to the shop with my mom. Lately, I have problems going out even with her. You know, I can get irritable outside and I am afraid the others will see it. Plus, theres still the fear. It was a good thing that I went out, but I had to take half of klonopin, so I am not so glad about this 
. I try to avoid benzos since I upped my Zyprexa, but I have strong anxiety still.
Otherwise, its easter here this weekend, its a big holiday. Jesus resuscitated. Its the orthodoxe holiday here.
did you experience anger outside like me? not nice, yeah…
