that there as apoint to all this schziophrenic suffering…i used to think there was a goal (mission)…i used to think all this experience was leading somewhere eg be a psych nurse, social worker ot therapist…but now after 18 yrs of this sz madness and suffering, ive come to believe that there is no point…that my life is wasting away…that i feel im helping nobody …but i feel im just wasting away for no point

I wanted to be a dr, like a psychiatrist, before my sz and I was pretty close to get in medschool but sz hit my grades hard and now I stay in bed all day. So no, sz has no goal and doesn’t make you a psychiatrist, nurse or therapist. Its the opposite.

I’ve become concerned about the question of “meaning” in my life recently too.
But normies suffer from this too.
I’m reminded of this clip from a music video
Right now I can’t think of anything that would make me fulfilled.

The search for meaning is not limited to the sz or the normies. It is a basic human yearning. I find meaning in my relationships with others, and to a lesser degree improving myself through small goals. Why not learn a language or practice an instrument or learn to bake bread. The sky’s the limit and that’s really what life is all about.

I feel like things are pointless much of the time, even though I am doing purposeful work helping keep things running for researchers who are trying to find treatments for diseases.

@brandotron that sounds like as good as it gets! You’re working for a social good purpose. I would love to work for a social good purpose. Pat yourself on the back, you’re doing it right!
It isn’t without risks, but then again nothing is gauranteed in life, I always wanted to do something with purpose I just wish I could enjoy life more and not be as down.
Hope everyone is having a good day!
I have thought about the purpose of all the hardship of Sz. I think there must be a purpose. I can only guess that it serves some sort of need for society and the world. I believe we will get credit for what we have gone through. Having a belief like this prevents some depression.

That’s what I think, not a goal in this world but a goal in the afterworld.
