I really want to fall in love with someone I love and hopefully she can love me back also.I don’t know if it’s possible with all my SZ symptoms,I hope it is,maybe being loved by someone and willing to love and work hard for someone can change me and make my road to recovery easier,: (

I won’t lie, it’s a very hard thing to achieve with schizophrenia from my own personal experience and famous people with it like John Forbes Nash Jr. whose wife left him after he started experiencing the throes of the illness. Though there is hope because they got back together later and actually died together in the same car crash. He even recovered from the illness until death entirely so everyone claims, despite one day he just got fed up and totally stopped treatment. Though that by no means is proof everyone should stop their meds because that’s a rare example.
Obviously there is a chance to recover and lead a full life with a career and marriage and all anyway.

It can be done.
If you behave in a way that attracts the people you want to be with, meaning sharing the same values, that’s half the battle.
After that it depends on how good the both of you are at forgiving each other.

Sorry if this is harsh, but a relationship will not make recovery easier for you. You need to be pretty healthy to deal with all the problems a long-term relationship throws at you. It is not easier than being single and you can’t expect any girl to want to or be able to save you from sz.

my relationship with my friend has helped us both immensely, i think it all depends on the person, if she really cares about you and you about her you can both work in unison together, help each other,
i have been with my friend for about 12 years when we were a couple and the last 3 years as just friends and i couldn’t have ask for any better, our relationship has been symbiotic in a way and beneficial for both, if you can get that with someone then it will help your recovery, hopefully she will try and help you when you are down and you her, it works both ways,
now i am looking for someone else i have told my friend that she is considered family and who ever i happen to meet (if any) that they would have to accept my friend as their friend, i just hope it works out

i think you know what you want as well, we just got to find the right person and that can be the hardest thing to do, once you find the right person you have to try your best to keep them and hopefully never fall off the wagon (mentally), hope it happens to you too

i think we need all the help we can get, i tried that nolongerlonely place again but i don’t think i will find a relationship there,
hopefully if i get a nice little part time job or even some voluntary work that maybe there will be someone working there that is single that i like.
i don’t think i can go to the clubs and pubs at night looking for women, i’m not into that really and the women there only want sex i think

Lets us try not to be too negative and remind ourself to take care of ourself but not forgetting what we want also
I went to the no longer lonely thing out of curiosity. Found 0 results for women in this state, let alone in this town. Went and checked who was online and saw maybe 5 users. Deleted my account the same hour.

yeah its not that good but if you get really desperate i guess maybe those 5 people on chat could help make you feel a bit better, you won’t get a date but you might feel a bit better.
I don’t really have interest in dating sites at all currently, I just went out of curiosity if anyone in my town was on there. They weren’t so that’s that I guess. I don’t want to accidentally get tied up with someone in the chat who doesn’t even live in this state since I refuse to even leave my city block for someone else after my experience of leaving the country for someone. If she wants to be with me bad enough she can move in.

i am the same, i just moved to this new place and its great but i was thinking if i did meet a girl then i might go stay with her if her place was good enough and let out my new place but it just depends, i would like to get a bigger place and if we ever had a kid i would like them brought up here where i am bc i really like this area.
It took me 6 months at least to get this apartment that I can actually afford and I’m not about to give it up for something that might end the next day and then have to go back to my grandma’s madhouse of sound for another 6 months or longer.
And I already got a vasectomy before I was able to have kids by accident because I probably will never want any.

yeah it took me a long time to get my place as well and i wouldn’t like to give it up,
idk if i could get a vasectomy though, maybe after i had kids but that might not happen
I just don’t believe I have the right over someone else’s life to force them to exist in this hell hole of a world especially if a religion like Christianity ends up being true because then they will either have to go to heaven or hell because then they exist.
