I know logically that comparing myself to others isn’t good, and I don’t really don’t sit there and try to do it.
But I’m at a point in my life where talking to anyone just reminds me that I have basically nothing, no kids no car no house of my own no spouse, I’ve given up on having a career right now, and I am struggling hard keep ahold of what gives me meaning anymore.
I feel the same way. KarXT and ulotaront are giving me hope though. Because theyre not gonna affect movement as much as antipsyhcotics do, it may be a gamechanging pharmaceutical technology.
Keep your head up,
Yeah that sounds familiar to what I do. I’ve honestly just been like wtf. Look at all these people with jobs, cars, families and I just have literally nothing. It’s not even that it’s not a good thing to do, it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do, our situations are pretty much terrible.
Hopefully we have less to complain about one day.
Yeah i feel you. I feel as though im alienated from normal society.
It’s not bad to live a rich and realised life that isn’t what you would consider ‘normal’. Yeah it’s hard to compare but at 52 I like the life I’ve created. I have kept busy enough and it’s interesting enough without having the stress of things like work. It’s different from most folks but that doesn’t lessen the fact I enjoy it and I am happy most days.
Like I’m doing better than most mentally but I have had some good life experiences even with sz. Since I’ve been medicated I’ve been married. I’ve lived overseas for two years. I still have a good close circle of friends I’ve known most of my life…Your young. Plenty of times to add to your story so think about what you like. Where you’d like to be in 10 years. If you want to be in a relationship. Then that is something to work too. If you want a career and be successful. You can still do that but do it without expectation.
Honestly. I have just winged it for years now but I kinda work towards being content. I’m a simple man and I guess that becomes easier but when your optimistic you usually see things that others pass over…including all those things that are important to us.
@rogueone , it is important for every sz patients that collects first, what he/ she has already, then look for other things. Don’t you live with your father. Its some kind of help and compromise both together.
I know the feeling. It’s down to hope. I feel I have no hope and it hard to deal with that one since I’ve lost the meaning of life and most of everything. My senses become numb and are fewer and fewer people to talk to. This site gives me confort and I thank to everyone here.
