My family doesn’t even try to understand this and when something happens with me they don’t care or brush it off.

Want a funny story? I was tired yesterday, and I tried making myself a bowl of noodles, but I badly misjudged the amount of noodles, and I ended up with this
My stomach was not satisfied!

Parents don’t like the idea that some of your problems might be their “fault” so they try to make light of it. I’ve seen it happen in my family. They probably love you, it’s just not a 100% thing. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the pick me up. I wish all of you guys were actually here with me in person. At least I could have conversations instead of trying to hide my thoughts.

Yeah maybe. I just wish mine would educate themselves to try and understand me instead of blaming everything I do or say on the schizophrenia. One day I was on the couch curled up in fear from the voices and my mom was in the next room and did nothing. Not even a conversation. They don’t enjoy being alone with me.
I laugh at myself when I do something like that. What kind of noodles? They look mighty tasty.

That’s awesome! I usually go the other way and make enough for an army

Chickpea noodles. It’s a way to sneak extra protein into my diet since half of what I eat is vegan

My parents were the opposite. They wouldn’t think for themselves at all and only did exactly what the social workers said. That got very annoying. They couldn’t think straight about my illness. They were, as yours probably are, both shocked and scared.
I respect that, but do they taste good

My family just treats it like something that will fade over time. Helps me not dwell on it. I realize I’ll never be cured but I have been improving over time.
I really want a burger right now. Or some nachos. Or a steak and cheese sandwich. Anything but pizza… I am heating a french bread pizza cuz it’s all I got! Slim pickings at the homestead.
I hope you feel less lonely knowing a bunch of us on the forum feel the same way.

They taste basically like regular pasta, but I get full off much less because they’re super dense. Hence, I tried making less, and misjudged.

I saw pizza trees and hamburger plants at Home Depot so that way you won’t run out at the homestead.
Perfect to take with my Latuda. Only need ten calories.

I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely. I too feel lonely. My family has gotten a little better about being supportive but none of them are willing to get educated on what I’m going through.
The worst part about this illness is how it isolates us. Sending hugs and support your way!
