If I don’t live that long I would be okay with it. Starting to get tired of life and I’m 29 y.o.

I think sometimes like that, too. Some people on this forum said that it can change with time.

There must be something you enjoy, a latent dream that you can latch onto to keep you interested in life.

Mine is computers.

I felt like that when I was 24 and 25. I embraced treatment, worked hard at it, and things are better. Now I’m 52 and loving my life. Have hope and be prepared to put in the effort needed for recovery (and effort IS needed, meaningful recovery has never and will never fall out of the sky and land next to you).

I think about this subject almost every day at the moment. One of the first things that comes into my mind in a morning.

I’ve been tired of life for years and I’m only 30.
I know I’ll die young and I’m ok with that.

I’m 62, and I have mixed feelings about my impending end. I feel like there are still positive things I can do on this earth, but I’m also tired. I feel burnt out. Maybe a good night’s sleep would help.

Positive symptoms are almost 100% gone, but I have negative symptoms from the meds. Life is stressful and boring. (mostly flat and boring)

Negative symptoms from the meds is the biggest reason I’m tired of life. But I guess I don’t have a choice, psychosis is not fun either.

12

Can I ask what dose and medication you are on?

That’s awesome that your positive symptoms are nearly gone.

13

Olanzapine (Zyprexa).

14

Maybe if you are lucky and feel stable for a long time, they can reduce your dose that might help.

I’m only on 7.5mg. I know it’s not much but I feel it and it gives me negative symptoms. I had less negative symptoms when I was at 5mg, but I had to go up to 7.5 because of voices. Yeah maybe if I’m lucky and stable for a long time I can try 5 again.

Is 5mg the minimum dose for olanzapine?

17

2.5mg is the lowest you can get with pills with olanzapine.

I enjoy playing video games, but I don’t find it as fun as I used to. I also have an interest in game development, but I haven’t done it a lot lately, it’s hard to find motivation.

Mine feeling on this are confused. I feel like life and the world are plenty good. The bad comes from being wrong and taking from the worse way. When I am stuck then I want to quit. If I have a good way to keep going then I want to keep going. Yeah!

Same, I havent made anything out of myself. No career no nothing, no relationships at all.

I’m too self conscious of my breathing or if I stay conscious, one of these days Ill probably make up dead

I’m also on 7.5 zyprexa now.

I know that it steals motivation all too well. The morning is the hardest part of the day for me since I take drugs in the evening before bed they are potent in the morning, but the day gets better in the evening when the drugs are weening off.

If you are stable on 7.5mg that’s good. It is little compared to what many others have to take.

Don’t give up on life because of the drugs. Life is ever changing. You could get better at some point and manage with less drugs. It’s not impossible to get drug free at some point either. Also they might develop better drugs with less side effects in the future.

How is the supplementing working out?
