I’m always thinking about where my life is going. What I’m going to do. My hopes for future. Stress over it. Anyone the same?

You just have to figure out what makes you happy. Don’t feel you have to do stuff just because everyone else is doing it.

I want to work preferably with my hands. The computer stuff comes easy just gotta not be distracted. Gotta figure out insurance coverage for meds. I think i need to get off vraylar and just do 80+ mg latuda because of insurance. Im a little concerned because vraylar has kept me stable for years but insurance wont cover it.

Since when have you been stable?
For a few years now. I haven’t gone inpatient in 2+ years. Last two times were just for a ‘check up’ pretty much. I haven’t been in inpatient or outpatient for over 2 years I think. Ever since I tried vraylar in 2017, I’ve been stable enough to avoid hospitalization. I still have delusions but I just added 40 mg of latuda to 4.5 mg of vraylar and I can function better. I sound sicker here than in real life, but I just am a very open book here. I sound nuts but I look normal unless I don’t change my clothes or open my mouth and talk about my delusions.
I’m a bit slower and dumber than before but I am still average to slightly above average in intelligence.
I have a supportive family and my mom helps me sometimes like cooking and cleaning my room. I’m doing pretty good if you ask me.
I believe in some of my delusions I mean aliens don’t ‘abduct’ people for nothing. There’s usually a reason especially if it’s traumatic. I’ve been dealing with them for aeons. I know a lot about them. I know how people think about them too. It’s hit or miss really. I find it kind of funny too.
I’m losing weight on Latuda and feel good. Last time I was on it, I felt sicker than a dog, but maybe things change. There’s a lot of variables/factors evolving and changing over time. I cannot narrow it down to one thing, really.
I think the same. I keep readjusting my plans. Right now I’m thinking as long as I recover, get a job, volunteer and maybe a friend or two. And I’d be satisfied and content with my life

Sounds like you have realistic goals. I think I might be over ambitious.

If you really want those things I don’t see why not :))
Just gotta be focused on achieving your goals.
I wish I could have a baby too but it just ain’t a good idea for me.
Wishing you best of luck with your dreams, Star
I don’t know if it’s a good idea for me to have baby either. Do you think 43 is to old for baby?
I’m constantly thinking about what I could be doing and in the end I end up just watching YouTube and smoking cigarettes. I lost interest in everything, just surfing the web. I think a lot of times, that when my father dies, I will be homeless.
I’m sure I will not take myself care of getting a flat. And I have no vision, no goal, no purpose in life. Sometimes I think about stuff but it’s just a grandiose delusion to me. I have no idea how it will turn out. I basically lost in life. When I don’t get this around there will be just suffering for me. I’m sure I won’t live well on my own, there is too much to handle.
I’m confused that my body is mostly crap, and how everything feels when I do something. To that my mind is utterly rubbish. I have just freetime the whole day, but I can’t focus on something other than slacking in front of the computer while smoking or laying in bed.

My life is going nowhere and I never think about it.
I do have goals however. Like staying as pain free as possible from arthritis and migraines. Also learning piano and Spanish. Also continuing to walk and do yoga. Maybe doing some traveling someday too.

Cool it’s good you have goals. Sounds like good ones.
I think for me I first developed psychosis when I was a young adult. 26. When everything was i front of me and hadn’t put life together yet. I’m 36 now and been in hospital five times. So there’s been years of lack of progress. So I’m still in same stage. Everything ahead of me.

Adoption is always an option.
People with our genetics don’t need to pass them on by creating new life when there’s already so many kids out there in need of loving parents

I know what you’re saying about children needing homes but there’s lots of good things about my genes I want to pass on.
But would it be the best for the kids?
I don’t wanna be rude, but at your age the risk of complications and birth defects is drastically increased.
If you do decide to have a baby the natural way, make sure it’s what’s best for the child, not what’s best for you
